There’s a particular kind of decision that doesn’t just change the law. It rewrites the story we tell ourselves about the country. The Supreme Court’s latest ruling on the Voting Rights Act is one of those decisions.
In striking down what remained of protections against racial vote dilution, the court’s conservative majority didn’t simply narrow a statute. It made a far more sweeping claim, implicit but unmistakable: that the conditions that justified the law no longer exist. That the problem it was designed to solve has, more or less, been solved.
