Justice Blasts SCOTUS for ‘Eviscerating’ U.S. Voting Rights

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan has lashed out at her conservative colleagues for “eviscerating” voting rights for millions of Americans after a contentious ruling that could dramatically reshape the race to control Congress.

In a 6-3 vote based on partisan lines, the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday delivered a brutal takedown of the Voting Rights Act, the landmark civil rights law that proponents say has restricted racial gerrymandering and racial discrimination in voting for 60 years.
