## Resource

Supreme Court rulings don't just shape the law, they can also change what becomes acceptable in politics. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias explains how Republicans are already using the recent decision in Louisiana v. Callais to target Black and Latino representation and minority voting rights far beyond Louisiana. The most dangerous part of the ruling isn't just the legal outcome, it's the cultural message it sent.
