Justices ruled 6-3 that Louisiana should not be allowed to create a new, majority black voting district, since doing so would be discriminatory. The ruling reflected a fundamental political divide over how much progress has been made in combating racial discrimination, and what, if anything, still needs to be done to prevent it.

上月底,美国最高法院大幅削弱了被视为美国最神圣法律之一的《1965年投票权法》(1965 Voting Rights Act)。大法官们以6比3裁定,路易斯安那州不得创建一个黑人选民占多数的新选区,理由是此举本身具有歧视性。该裁决折射出一个根本性的政治分歧:在打击种族歧视方面究竟已经取得了多大进展,以及是否还需要采取什么措施来防止种族歧视继续发生。
