Welcome to Breitbart News Daily today. What a show, what a celebration, because we should celebrate the wins when we get them. We don't get them enough. So let's celebrate when we can. This big Supreme Court decision yesterday about the Voting Rights Act. We talked with Horace Cooper from Project 21, which seeks to see a colorblind society in MLK's vision. He's a former law professor George Mason as well. And then we talked to Derek Babcock, who's the chairman of the Republican Party, Louisiana, which started this whole thing. And we talked to him about, can you guys get this done? Can you guys hurry up and redistrict by Saturday? And if any state were to do it, it would be Louisiana with a super majority in both of their

0:55.1

chambers and Republican governors.

0:56.5

So we'll see.

0:57.4

But other states will be able to.

0:59.6

An incredible victory.

1:00.8

And it's great to see.

1:02.3

Let's start with our opening segment.

1:04.9

We have two constitutional law professors on the show today and then the chairman of the Louisiana Republican Party because it all went down yesterday and it's awesome.

2:06.0

Yesterday morning we talked to the what could be lone Republican congressman in Virginia,

2:13.9

although I don't think that's going to be the case.

2:15.8

I think the Supreme Court in Virginia

2:18.1

will do the right thing with the redistricting case, because there are five challenges to the

2:23.5

redistricting vote, three different cases, and there's seven justices and four conservatives. Democrats

2:30.8

have to win every single one of these five issues against all of these four conservative justices.

2:37.4

Democrats have an uphill battle in Virginia to get that vote certified.

2:42.4

While that's going on,

2:46.2

the Supreme Supreme Court, not just the state,

2:49.8

but the actual Supreme Court, just issued a massive ruling that politically is going to be in our favor as well.
