首席大法官：最高法院法官不是“政治行动者”
Read, Watch or Listen
Hershey, Pa. Chief Justice John Roberts said Wednesday that Supreme Court justices are not 'political actors,' insisting unpopular court decisions are based solely on the law rather than on policy. He told listeners that people often assume the justices are making policy choices when they are interpreting legal texts, and he rejected that conception as an inaccurate understanding of the court's role. Roberts said, 'I think, at a very basic level, people think we're making policy decisions, we're saying we think this is how things should be, as opposed to what the law provides,' and added, 'I think they view us as purely political actors, which I don't think is an accurate understanding of what we do.' He framed the court's work as application of law and declined to characterize the judiciary as a political body.

州政府和现任议员因最高法院最近的裁决和经调整的重新划分选区法律标准而受益，因为这些结果使得挑战者更难成功地反对选区图并维持现有的政治优势。
在最高法院最近推翻第二条标准后，少数族裔社区的选民和投票权倡导者立即遭受了法律和政治上的挫折，此举提高了挑战稀释少数族裔投票权地图的门槛。
