MARTHA MACCALLUM (CO-HOST): The whole point of the voter rights act was to have race neutrality. That's the same point that the Supreme Court judged when they took out race-based admissions for universities around the country. The whole point of the Civil Rights Movement was to have equality, to have people not in different groups based on the color of their skin, whether they are white or Black or any color at all.
So, it's really like -- this district in Louisiana was carved out to create a Black district, which I think should be offensive to people. I think if any district was formed that way as to put you in a certain group, like if they had a voting district, oh, put all the women in this district because we know you all like to vote exactly the same way, I think is offensive. I think that we need to get back to a point where you've got these decisions made by the reasons they're supposed to be made by, which is geography and census and movement -- based on demographic movement within the state. So, I think this thing has gotten totally out of control, and I think that the justices came down on the right side of it today.
