Opening words of Justice Kagan’s dissent in Brnovich, the SCOTUS voting rights case. It’s now far more difficult to challenge state laws that discriminate on the basis of race. In his concurrence, Justice Gorsuch questions whether private parties can even bring §2 cases. 
Kagan writes: “Today the Court undermines §2 & the right it provides…Wherever it can the majority gives a cramped reading to broad language.” The majority permits states to “pour old poison into new bottles.”
