The U.S. Supreme Court’s rehearing this month of Louisiana v. Callais has sent the left into predictable apoplexy, with Democrats once again resorting to the old playbook of shrieking “racism” whenever court decisions threaten their power. The high court’s conservative majority pressed hard on whether Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act should be used indefinitely to force race-based districts, a debate that goes to the heart of whether we govern by law or by permanent grievance.
At issue is a map that created a second majority-Black district in Louisiana — a map critics say was drawn to satisfy a federal court’s reading of Section 2, while defenders say it was a political scramble to protect incumbents. The Justice Department and other conservative voices asked the Court to rein in decades of race-focused districting that too often serves partisan ends rather than true protection of minority voters.
Governor Jeff Landry wasn’t having it; he joined Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt to call out the Democrats’ theatrics and to point out what everyone on the right already sees — this is about power, not principle. Landry rightly demolished the argument that every redistricting decision must be filtered first through race, reminding viewers that treating Americans as permanent members of identity categories is the very definition of the problem.
The dishonest left uses the language of civil rights as a bludgeon to shut down debate, and the Court’s skeptical questioning of race-based remedies exposed that duplicity. Conservative justices made clear they are uneasy with making race the dominant factor in drawing political lines forever, signaling a return to colorblind principles that respect voters as citizens first, not as racial blocs.
Make no mistake — this fight has huge consequences for the balance of power in Washington. If the Court limits the ability to require majority-minority districts in every conceivable case, Republican voters and leaders could finally see a fairer playing field instead of maps engineered to lock Democrats into seats for a generation. Political operatives like Dick Morris have even warned the ruling could flip a significant number of seats back to conservatives, and that prospect has the left panic-posturing in full force.
Americans who love their country should stand with leaders like Gov. Landry who refuse to bow to the woke narrative that every setback for Democrats must be certified as “racism.” We want a future where votes matter because of ideas and character, not because judges or politicians carve the electorate into permanent racial camps. Now is the time for patriots to make it clear: we will fight for equal treatment under the law and an end to the weaponization of race in our politics.
