The right to vote is not the right to win

‘A Big New Power’

Liberal claims notwithstanding, the Amendment does not empower the congress to ensure districting favorable to the Democrats or to attempt to enable the choice of black or minority voters to prevail.

Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

That’s all.

And liberals, all of whom are fans of judicial review of federal action when it serves their turn, are in no position to deny the Supremes the authority to review federal legislation hung on this peg when it might perhaps not be “appropriate.”

One assumes the challenge to the necessity of federal supervision pertains to that question.

If it’s not necessary then it’s not appropriate, I suppose.
