Supreme Court John Roberts Voting Rights Act Louisiana v. Callais voting rights

The Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in Louisiana v. Callais effectively dismantled the last remaining provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

While Justice Samuel Alito authored the opinion, the ruling represents the culmination of Chief Justice John Roberts’ lifelong effort to weaken the Act. The Roberts Court has now gutted the Voting Rights Act on three separate occasions, and Roberts either wrote or joined every one of those opinions.

This outcome was not accidental. Roberts has spent more than 40 years working to dismantle the Voting Rights Act—and his persistence has finally succeeded.

Key Takeaways:

  • The 2024 decision in Louisiana v. Callais eliminated the last remaining provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
  • Chief Justice John Roberts authored or joined every Supreme Court ruling that weakened the Act over the past three decades.
  • Roberts has pursued this goal for over 40 years, culminating in the dismantling of a landmark civil rights law.
