Putusan Mahkamah Agung dalam Louisiana v. Callais mulai berlaku

Mahkamah Agung AS telah mengizinkan putusannya dalam kasus Louisiana v. Callais untuk segera berlaku, yang memungkinkan negara-negara bagian menggambar ulang peta kongres dengan cara yang dapat mengurangi keterwakilan kelompok minoritas.

Pekan lalu, pengadilan mengeluarkan putusan Callais, yang secara efektif mengakhiri perlindungan utama di bawah Undang-Undang Hak Pilih. Negara-negara bagian yang dipimpin oleh Partai Republik kini dapat menghapus distrik-distrik yang dirancang untuk memastikan pemilih Kulit Hitam dapat memilih kandidat pilihan mereka, asalkan perubahan tersebut disajikan sebagai langkah partisan dan bukan berdasarkan ras.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 on April 29, 2026, in Louisiana v. Callais that Louisiana’s congressional map (SB8) was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, concluding the Voting Rights Act did not require the state to draw an additional majority-Black district. Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., called the ruling “a massive and devastating blow,” warning it could accelerate redistricting fights across Southern states ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued an order on Monday allowing its April 29 decision in Louisiana v. Callais to take immediate effect, bypassing the usual 32-day waiting period.

The move sparked a sharp exchange between Justice Samuel Alito's concurrence and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent.

The US Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that a lawsuit by Plaquemines Parish against Chevron must be transferred from state to federal court, effectively voiding a $745 million judgment against the oil company.
