Ilya Shapiro weighs in on the Chief Justice’s remarks in the Shelby County case, concluding: “To be clear, I’m not suggesting that Massachusetts is a hotbed of racism and should be subject to Section 5.  Instead, I’m saying that Mississippi – the whole broader South – has changed, obviating the need, and therefore constitutional justification, for Section 5.”

Jon Stewart for his part weighed in on Northern racism: “Yeah, we’ve been to Boston.”
