With no comment, the US Supreme Court has rejected an attempt by the Alabama legislature to limit a state’s liability under Section II of the federal Voting Rights Act.

The Court clearly desires to define any "Section II liability district" created by any legislature, not just Alabama, to be composed of an actual "minority-majority" or "50 percent plus one" voting age population.

While the Court has dispelled unwieldy portions of the 1965 landmark voting rights legislation, in recent years, a majority on the high bench seem agreed upon not allowing so-called "minority influence" districts to continue to dilute definitions under federal law.

Since they didn’t ask who was a citizen and who wasn’t, how can they figure that out?
