Libs seem to have no clue how bad it’s about to get for them.

This meant that the normal way constitutional rights work--where there's a floor but no ceiling, or at least there's space between the floor and the ceiling--didn't apply with VRA districting, and if you did *anything* not required by the VRA, your map would get struck down under 14A. So you'd read these seemingly innocuous supreme court holdings saying like "yeah the VRA requires the drawing of a majority-minority district here, but it does not require the drawing of EFFECTIVE-majority districts" (sometimes when a race turns out at lower numbers, you need to have a 53% district rather than a 50.01% one). A casual reader sees a holding like that and is like "so what? it doesn't *require* effective majorities", but the real problem was that the holding now effectively means effective majorities are not *allowed*, since going the extra mile would immediately violate 14A. (There are a number of situations like this, where the Court quietly undermined the VRA by saying "no it doesn't require x thing".)

Anyway, now every single VRA opportunity district in the country (congressional, state leg, and city/county) is presumptively illegal. The VRA is a fee-shifting statute btw.
