An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Impeach the Supreme Court Justices Who Gutted Alabama's Voting Rights

The Supreme Court's Tuesday night ruling in Allen v. Milligan is a partisan power grab, and I want you to pursue impeachment proceedings against the justices responsible. This unsigned, after-hours opinion reversed a 78-page lower court finding of intentional racial discrimination — not because the facts changed, but because the conservative majority invented a new requirement that challengers prove discriminatory purpose rather than discriminatory effect. That is not jurisprudence. That is a political outcome dressed in legal language. Alabama defied federal court orders for years. A remedial map was imposed. Black Alabamans finally elected a second congressional representative in 2024. The Supreme Court just erased that. The majority's rationale — that courts must presume "legislative good faith" from a state with a documented history of racial discrimination, including the 1965 Bloody Sunday attack in Selma that literally prompted the Voting Rights Act — is an insult to history and to every voter whose registration is now being thrown into chaos. Justice Sotomayor called it "blatant gamesmanship." She's right. This Court has become a reliable instrument for stripping voting rights from Black communities in southern states. Impeachment exists precisely for abuses of judicial power that undermine constitutional rights. Start that process now.
