Last Week Tonight‘s John Oliver bashed Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for the Court’s stunning dismantling of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act.
In the court’s majority opinion striking down a Louisiana election map on the grounds of racial discrimination, the George W. Bush-nominated Justice—whom Oliver called “Segregation Sammy”—wrote that “vast social change has occurred throughout the country, and particularly the South, which has made great strides in ending entrenched racial discrimination.”
“That is obviously horses--t!” Oliver, 49, said in response, adding, “especially given, to the extent America’s made progress on racial discrimination, it’s been thanks in part to the law he just f---ing gutted.”
