Media Extra: Freedom at Risk

The Southern Poverty Law Center says two cases before the U.S. Supreme Court are a double barreled attack on freedom, though others will disagree.

The SPLC writes that in one of the cases.....

".....the plaintiffs are seeking to demolish our longstanding “one person, one vote” standard, so that only voters, not all people, are counted when legislative districts are drawn.
This is nothing less than a power grab and a frontal assault on the core of the 14^th Amendment, which was enacted after the Civil War to give equal representation and protection to all people.
Voting rights experts say that by not counting everyone – including children, unnaturalized immigrants and others who can’t vote – our political system inevitably will become even more skewed toward the political right, because urban areas will lose representation."

NPR also covered the arguments, such as they were, and filed THIS REPORT.
