SCOTUS, Callais, And What's Next For Voting Rights And Other Civil Rights (Half the Answer #88, with Madiba Dennie)

What does the Callais decision mean for voting rights and other anti-discrimination protections in the United States? How is anybody supposed to defend their rights against race-based discrimination if they're not allowed to use disparate impact as proof? Catch the discriminators confessing on a voice recording carrot pen, Zootopia-style? Bust out the mind-reading machine? We ask Madiba Dennie, author of The Originalism Trap, to explain it, and to help us figure out what to do now.

Half the Answer can be heard on Spotify, on Apple, on YouTube, on Amazon, and elsewhere via its RSS feed.
