Roberts court accused of reviving Jim Crow-era policies
Original: Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
Critics argue that the US Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts has rolled back legal protections that had consigned Jim Crow racial segregation to history. The piece reflects a broader debate over the conservative-majority court's rulings on voting rights, race and civil rights protections, and concern that hard-won progress from the civil rights era is being dismantled.
Why now: Fresh scrutiny of the Supreme Court's conservative majority and its rulings on race and voting rights.
