As We Wait for the Supreme Court to Decide the Shelby County Voting Rights Case

….here is some of my writing about the case if you want to get up to speed:

What’s Lost if the Voting Rights Falls? (Slate)

If the Court Strikes Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (Reuters)

Who Controls Voting Rights? (Reuters)

I organized this symposium at Reuters. SCOTUSBlog also ran an excellent symposium. ACS has this Shelby County resource page.

And for those who wish to go back in time: My first writing on the issues in the Shelby County case was in 2005, in writing edited by Chris Geidner: Congressional Power to Renew the Preclearance Provisions of the Voting Rights Act after Tennessee v. Lane. My 2006 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the serious constitutional questions with renewing the act without making any changes is here. My article analyzing what was likely to happen after the Supreme Court raised constitutional questions in the NAMDNO case appeared in the 2010 Supreme Court Review (contrasting NAMUDNO with Citizens United) in Constitutional Avoidance and Anti-Avoidance by the Roberts Court.
