I won't keep posting this every day, but I'm still wondering, and since we have the Quick Hit on the MLK piece today, it's relevant:
The John Lewis Bill is essentially a restoration of the Voting Rights Act, and is necessary now because a 5-4 conservative SCOTUS essentially threw out the VRA.
So, if the John Lewis bill passes, why will it not also get thrown out by a 6-3 conservative SCOTUS? Are we going to have a bill that's only valid for as long as it takes for the SCOTUS to throw it out, and is the plan to blow up the filibuster to secure that temporary bill?
If anyone can help me understand why the John Lewis Act can pass and not get thrown out, I'd like to hear it. Am I missing something?
