(INSIDE SOURCES) – The Supreme Court has done something remarkable. It has been declared that the Constitution means what it says. The Equal Protection Clause forbids racial discrimination. Apparently, this is controversial.
The court’s decision striking down Louisiana’s court-mandated congressional map has sent Democrats into theatrical fits of outrage. Chuck Schumer calls it a return to Jim Crow. Barack Obama says the court is abandoning its role in protecting minority rights. Kamala Harris warns of a grand conspiracy to suppress the Black vote.
Before accepting this narrative, it is worth asking a straightforward question: If Democrats are so deeply concerned about Black Americans, why does their concern so reliably align with their electoral interests?
Consider what the Louisiana court-ordered map actually looked like. To manufacture a second majority-Black congressional district, a court forced the state to draw a district stretching 150 miles (from New Orleans to Shreveport), carving through the heart of the state to stitch together Black populations in communities more than a hundred miles apart. Geographic compactness, one of the fundamental standards for legitimate districting, was thrown out. The goal was not a coherent representation; the goal was racial arithmetic.
