French Friday: Jesus vs. Gerrymandering

The Supreme Court recently struck down a provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Bill that prevented the dilution of votes by racial minorities, unleashing red states throughout the South to redraw congressional districts before the 2026 midterm elections. The outcome is likely to be fewer Black representatives in Congress. David French and Skye Jethani discuss the issue of gerrymandering—partisan and racial—and why it is contrary to both the Constitution and the Christian call to love our neighbors. They also offer suggestions for fixing the problem in order to heal our broken politics.   0:00 - Theme Song   0:21 - Being on Bill Marr   6:04 - What is Gerrymandering?   11:27 - Racial vs Political Gerrymandering   26:22 - Christian Podcast and Politics   29:57 - Disempowering the People   40:22 - Possible Solutions   52:37 - Do We Need a Third Founding?   1:10:47 - End Credits
