Jeffries threatens ‘massive’ judicial reform following Supreme Court voting rights decision
 
ting rights decisionHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Democrats need to pursue judicial reform after the Supreme Court handed Republicans a victory by repealing a section of the Voting Rights Act permitting redistricting by race.

Jeffries criticized the decision, saying on MS Now Saturday, it threw the “American South back into the Jim Crow era” and encouraged reform as a response.
 
“We are going to have to explore massive judicial reform, state by state and at the federal level,” Jeffries said. “And everything should be on the table as far as I'm concerned.”

The Supreme Court handed down a 6-3 ruling in the Louisiana v. Callais case, weakening Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by striking down a congressional map that created two majority-black districts in Louisiana.

The decision is the latest redistricting showdown, in which Republicans and Democrats have been racing to redraw congressional maps across the country ahead of the midterm elections that could change the party’s majority in Congress, as Democrats are expected to retake control of the House.

What a patriotic advocate for the rule of law, a real protector of the American Constitution.  But, he's simply echoing what that other great patriot, Barrack Hussein Obama said you should do if you don't like a law, ignore it.

I'm also waiting for John Roberts to issue a criticism of him like he does if Republicans say something negative about the courts. :nothappen:
