Marc Elias’ Interpretation of SCOTUS VRA Decision Is Intellectually Dishonest and Wrong

As Twitchy reported earlier, the Supreme Court on Tuesday, in a case regarding the Voting Rights Act, ruled 6-3 that Louisiana's racially gerrymandered congressional district map was unconstitutional. Simply put, you can't draw congressional districts based on race. As we've reported, a lot of Democrats are crashing out over this decision, calling it a blow to democracy. According to Sen. Raphael Warnock, Dr. Martin Luther King marched in favor of racial segregation.

Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias, the guy who hired Fusion GPS to put together the Steele dossier, fumed that the Voting Rights Act ruling was "intellectually dishonest and wrong" and "an absolute mockery of the law and stain on the court."

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservatives basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans.

An absolutely mockery of the law and stain on the court.

Amazingly enough, Marc, the Court did not say that, or anything remotely close to it.

Will white people still be able to vote for Democrats?

It may surprise some folks to know that, uh, no the Supreme Court didn't.

No, the court didn’t say anything like that. https://t.co/8NP43Hc6cU

Funny… can’t find any of that on the ruling.

You are not very smart and it's a good thing for America in general that you lose in court so often.

If you’re mad, I’m glad.

If you're upset about the ruling then it means the SCOTUS got it exactly right.

This is the type of chronic, bone-deep dishonesty and lack of integrity that will inevitably get Elias indicted. The court simply ruled that race is not a legal factor in redistricting, and that equal protection can't attach to only one race or group, it is for everyone

Wrong as usual, Marxist.

The Court struck a blow against institutionalized racism.

That wasn’t “basically said” at all but go ahead with the dishonesty.

Every black American still has their vote and can choose whoever they want. Do you really think black people are so dumb that they don’t understand that?

Counterpoint: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates. Everyone can. No group gets to engineer districts by race in order to have somebody win because of his race. https://t.co/LOlMJYN39R

Of course the Court said none of that, actually. Just take the L, Marc. https://t.co/vOmw8dXLeJ

It's remarkable how lawyers can get away with misinterpreting court decisions this badly and still remain lawyers. Elias should have been laughed out of town after the Steele dossier.
