"Supreme Court Redistricting Rulings and Historic Church Discussion: Impact on Voting Rights"

Former Attorney General Eric Holder discusses recent Supreme Court rulings on "Face the Nation." He highlights the need for a vibrant Voting Rights Act and applauds the ruling that Alabama must redraw its congressional map to include a second majority Black district. Holder expresses confidence in the integrity of the upcoming 2024 election following the Supreme Court's rejection of the theory that state legislatures can decide the rules for federal elections. He criticizes the court's decision on affirmative action, stating that race is still a significant factor in the nation and that affirmative action is about considering diversity as one of many factors for qualified students. Holder also dismisses concerns about federal courts overruling state courts on cases involving federal elections and advises against a pardon for the 45th president without remorse or evidence of turning their life around.
