An Ignoble Experiment: SCOTUS is putting its legitimacy at risk

The Washington Post
"Democrats' redistricting gains hit a roadblock:
The Supreme Court"

Frankly, Lewis, it's been several years since we could depend on SCOTUS to uphold fair redistricting and voting rights. But with the addition of Amy Coney Barrett to create a six-justice conservative majority, the court seems to have thrown all reason out the window. Their decisions are inconsistent and ignore precedent. As A.G. Holder has said, SCOTUS is putting its very legitimacy at risk.

And yet, supporters of fair maps must continue to fight in and out of the courts in states across the country to achieve the redistricting the American people deserve.

So how do we move forward, knowing that the nation's highest court isn't on the side of democracy and equality? The same way we've always done – by putting our noses to the grindstone and executing our multi-pronged strategy. The fact is, our work has never relied on any one court. And with you on our side, we've been able to overcome any number of challenges.

So Lewis – will you dig deep today and help us keep the fight going?
