- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y agoOP does not say that Roberts itself was part of that "response", but that the decision enabled it.
- BoiledCabbage 6y agoI believe there was a much clearer more charitable reading of the above than assuming the person posting doesn't understand the difference between a political party and a Supreme Court. There was a action. That action was a effective repeal of the voting rights act. The Supreme Court performed that action. A political party responded to that act by rolling back voting rights.
- tinalumfoil 6y agoWhile this is a possible interpretation the paragraph puts a lot of weight on the supreme court decision and doesn't seem to mention any legislative or executive decisions that were enabled by the court.
