Two big decisions in two days

[A Black Falcon]

I know it was expected -- and it mostly did go as expected -- but still, it was pretty strange to see Justice Kennedy one day bringing back racial prejudice and discrimination by gutting the Voting Rights Act (ie, allowing 9 southern states to pass laws making it harder for minorities to vote; yes, the states can be sued, but now they don't need to pre-screen those laws before enacting them, so people WILL be affected.), and then a few days later, writing one of the most important pro-gay rights decisions ever.

Yeah, pretty huge cognitive dissonance there, I think... and I know, the excuse is that well they can just redo the VRA, but yeah, everyone knows that as long as the Republicans hold the House, there's absolutely no way in the world that that will happen, and with how gerrymandered many states are, the Republicans ARE going to keep holding the House four the forseeable future, sadly.
