There is a lot going on. The U.S. Supreme Court in Allen v. Milligan has just affirmed an Alabama district court's ruling that the state's congressional lines were an impermissible racial gerrymander, thereby preserving, at least for now, what remains of the historic Voting Rights Act's protections. Much has been written about the civil rights community's surprise and relief that the court did not continue to eviscerate the law that was hollowed out 10 years ago by its decision in Shelby County v. Holder. Yet, insofar as the majority in Allen included Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, wariness of future decisions is warranted. Prof. Justin Levitt, a leading voting rights scholar, puts it this way: I remain "in the fetal position," still quite worried about evolving jurisprudence.
