Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted her conservative colleagues for “disregarding both democratic values and the rule of law” in a blistering dissent to a decision allowing Alabama to eliminate a majority-Black district at the 11th hour.
The justices voted 6-3 to grant an emergency request filed by Republican officials to use a congressional map in this year’s midterms that was approved in 2023 but had never been used because a lower court found the map intentionally discriminated against Black voters.
After the Supreme Court instructed the lower court to revisit its decision in light of an April ruling that weakened the Voting Rights Act (VRA), a three-judge panel of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump appointees again found on May 26 that the map was unconstitutional.
