SCOTUS Justice Jackson is starting her tenure off well.
Justice Jackson tells the Alabama solicitor general that the Framers of the 14th Amendment did NOT intend it to be “race neutral or race blind,” so taking race into account to protect minority voting rights is perfectly constitutional.
For decades, conservative justices insisted the 14th Amendment demands a "color blindness," prohibiting race-conscious remedies designed to help racial minorities.
KBJ just directly challenged this claim on originalist grounds, arguing that it gets the history dead wrong.
Conservatives claiming that the 14th Amendment Is "race-neutral' is as asinine as stating the 19th Amendment is "gender-neutral."
