The Roberts Court has systematically weakened voting protections for minorities through rulings like Shelby County v. Holder and latest Louisiana v. Callais decision, while simultaneously enabling unlimited corporate political spending through Citizens United and related decisions. The voting power impact is confirmed by recent research showing turnout gaps between white and Black voters widening since 2012 after narrowing for decades under the Voting Rights Act. The Court's recent Louisiana ruling eviscerates what remained of Section 2 protections—though scholars debate whether this represents the most severe voting rights assault since Taney-era courts, as Reich claims, versus a devastating setback from the modern baseline.
