Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson drew sharp criticism for comparing alleged voting challenges faced by Black voters to physical disabilities, advocating for race-based solutions in voting maps similar to ADA-mandated wheelchair ramps. Her remarks emerged during oral arguments in the consolidated cases Louisiana v. Callais and Robinson v. Callais, which concluded on October 15 without a ruling. Justices appeared divided over potential changes to Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, with implications for redistricting and Southern congressional representation.
