Abstract

The article focuses on a major constitutional debate before the U.S. Supreme Court concerning whether a state's intentional creation of a majority-minority congressional district to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) violates the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. It discusses Louisiana's redistricting case, where two opposing groups of voters, Press Robinson and Phillip Callais, dispute the legality of race-conscious districting.
