Maddow in trying to make the case FOR Section 4 VRA tonight just proved the SCOTUS majority’s point.
She showed how last year a house Republican proposed an amendment that would cut off funding to enforce Sect 4+5. In response Dem house member John Lewis went into a fit on the floor screaming calling that proposal a disgrace and screaming citing the firehoses and beating and lynchings of ~ 50 years ago and so the House GOP apologized and withdrew the amendment cowering after publicly being labeled a racist.
Exactly what the SCOTUS 5-4 found and their reasoning and Maddow plays it, to argue the opposite
Cowards. I think we agree.
