A word of caution: historic gains for Black voters and representation in Southern states don't mean the Callais decision had no effect. The aftermath of Shelby v. Holder should remind us to look beyond one election cycle before declaring a ruling harmless. It did damage.

Although the book will not be out until the summer, I just got the cover for it, and I am excited to share it with the world (or the five or so kind folks who engage with this post). I look forward to sharing more about my book “Information Brokers” with @uchicagopress.bsky.social in the new year.
New from Michael Miller and me at @thejop.bsky.social: Evidence that, in most areas that were affected by the decision, the Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act in 2013 (Shelby County v Holder) increased the racial turnout gap. A thread... www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
This looks absolutely fantastic! The history of the Voting Rights Act - and all the many ways in which the Roberts Court has been assaulting it. @kevintmorris.bsky.social is doing brilliant, essential work - and this book will be mandatory reading the minute it is out. Pre-order this now.

President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemy Act of 1798 against Tren de Aragua raises a bunch of messy (but really important) legal questions. Via "One First" (and cross-posted at @justsecurity.org), I take a shot at asking and answering five of them: www.stevevladeck.com/p/132-five-q...
132. Five Questions About Trump's Alien Enemy Act Proclamation
A quick take on some of the questions raised by President Trump's ... dubious invocation of a 1798 statute as a basis for arresting, detaining, and removing non-citizens with ties to Tren de Aragua.
