The Supreme Court just delivered one of the most consequential voting rulings of the modern era. In Louisiana v. Callais, the Court held that race can no longer be used as a criteria to allocate political power — a tectonic shift that reaches every congressional district, state legislature, school board, county council, and municipal district in the country.
Jenny Beth Martin sits down with J. Christian Adams, President of the Public Interest Legal Foundation and a former Justice Department voting rights attorney, for a full inside look at the ruling, the legal road ahead, and the lawsuits already filed.
What you'll learn in this episode:
• Why the 15th Amendment, passed in 1870, finally means what it says
• How California openly used race spreadsheets to draw its congressional map
• The Public Interest Legal Foundation's new lawsuits against Illinois and California
• Why partisan gerrymandering is constitutional but racial gerrymandering is not
• The cautionary tale for Republican state legislatures rushing to redistrict
• A stunning update on the 2024 Philadelphia mail-in death threats to Trump voters — almost two years later, zero arrests
• Voter roll transparency, Hawaii's NVRA defiance, and the cert petition to the Supreme Court
• Why the SAVE America Act remains the most urgent election integrity bill in Congress
