"Shelby County and the Illusion of Minimalism"

Rick Hasen provides a harsh criticism of Shelby v. Holder here without letting the other side totally off the hook -- it might have been wrong & the dissent still was correct, but Congress was on notice that changes in federalism jurisprudence made the renewal of the VRA without updating some things was taking a big chance. The dissent papered over that. I was a bit naïve on what would happen, but yes, his concern was warranted and more might be coming.
