SCOTUS, Callais, and What's Next for Voting Rights and Other Civil Rights (with Madiba Dennie)

from Half the Answer · host Liberal Currents

What does the Callais decision mean for voting rights and other anti-discrimination protections in the United States? How is anybody supposed to defend their rights against race-based discrimination if they're not allowed to use disparate impact as proof? Catch the discriminators confessing on a voice recording carrot pen, "Zootopia"-style? Bust out the mind-reading machine? We ask Madiba Dennie, author of The Originalism Trap, to explain it, and to help us figure out what to do now.Resources:The Originalism Trap: https://bookshop.org/a/115699/9780593729250https://ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito-callais-opinion-voting-rights-act-fifteenth-amendment/https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-15/
