The Louisiana congressional maps have been officially released. Last night, the Supreme Court issued a decision in the Louisiana v. Callais case, which struck down the previous maps that limited the application of Section II of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). This decision allows for the creation of congressional districts based on racial quotas.
Now, with the new ruling in place that OKed Louisiana’s request to waive the traditional 32-day period between when a ruling is handed down from the high court to when it takes effect – giving the state the ability to pause its primaries so it can redraw its maps in a constitutional manner – came a stiff rebuke from Joe Biden’s DEI justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, which then drew an even stiffer rebuke from Justice Samuel Alito.
