This where I dissent. Since where it is written in the Constitution Hispanics MUST be represented ONLY by Hispanics? Its a racist notion. But then again Justice Anthony Kennedy is a liberal racist who believes in political apartheid - for minorities, who can only be represented by liberals.

It doesn't. But the VRA says they must be represented by "the candidate of their choice", whether he is Hispanic or not. Whether they can elect the candidate of their choice depends on their share of the electorate.

Note that an Anglo represents a Latino district in Houston and is considered to be the "candidate of their choice" while a Latino representing a half-Latino district in San Antonio and West Texas apparently doesn't qualify because only Anglos vote for him.

Yes, but Reagan appointed him!
