The House Democrats, led by Speaker and California Rep. Nancy Pelosi, are taking aim at the Supreme Court in a new bill they plan to advance.
John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, also known as H.R. 4, seeks not only to change voting laws at the federal level, but apparently looks to undercut the power of the Supreme Court, Vox reported.
The piece was written by Ian Millhiser, a liberal who celebrated what he sees as a conservative court attacking the right to vote.
“Among other things, the new bill would undo the Supreme Court’s very recent decision in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee (2021), which imposed new, seemingly made-up limits on the Voting Rights Act’s safeguards against racism in elections,” he said.
“The new bill would also roll back the Court’s decision in Purcell v. Gonzales (2006), which drastically limits courts’ ability to protect voting rights as an election draws close. The bill creates a new process to block certain voting restrictions in all 50 states, and, it prevents the Court from changing the rules governing who may cast a ballot while an election is underway — and then retroactively disenfranchising voters who did not comply with the new rules,” he said.
