A Disastrous decision from George Bush's Supreme Court
Via the Washington Post:

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that electoral districts must have a majority of African-Americans or other minorities to be protected by a provision of the Voting Rights Act.
The Decision was 5:4, aligned as one would expect.

Goodbye John Barrow.

Georgia's 12th congressional district is only 44% black so it will not be protected from repubs redistricting.
