The Supreme Court was in the news Wednesday after delivering a second blow to the Voting Rights Act in just over a month. The latest ruling, issued late Tuesday, cleared the way for Alabama to use a congressional redistricting map that favors Republicans by eliminating one of the two existing districts where voters had elected a Black Democrat to Congress. In late April, the Supreme Court's conservative supermajority all but gutted what remained of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act.
