The Biden administration's court challenge to the new Georgia voting law is now on life support.
The Supreme Court case involves Section 2 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, which bars any law that discriminates in voting based on race.
By a 6 to 3 vote that split along ideological lines, the Supreme Court majority interpreted the Section 2 "Effects" clause to apply only when the challenged restriction imposes a substantial burden with a significantly disparate impact on members of different racial groups.
President Biden denounced the Supreme Court's Section 2 decision as doing "Severe damage" to voting rights, even though his own administration wrote to the justices that they did not believe the Arizona laws violated Section 2.
Biden and his left wing progressive base are still upset about another Supreme Court decision several years ago involving a different section of the Voting Rights Act.
The Supreme Court has wisely dismissed equating minor burdens imposed on all voters seeking to exercise their right to vote with racial discrimination if some voters happen to be more inconvenienced than others.
There was no better way for the Supreme Court to end its current term.
