“Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sparked debate Wednesday after she invoked the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) during oral arguments to illustrate how the government can remedy discrimination — an exchange that quickly took off on social media, where some critics accused her of comparing [b]lack voters to disabled persons. The back-and-forth took place during nearly three hours of oral arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, which centers on states’ obligation to consider race when drawing congressional maps under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. … ‘Going back to this discriminatory intent point — and the fact that remedial action, absent discriminatory intent, is really not a new idea in civil rights laws. And my paradigmatic example of this is something like the ADA,’ Jackson said.” (10/16/25)
