Several news reports described a collective gasp in the court when Justice Scalia made his statement. Rachel Maddow's coverage (she was in the court for the oral arguments) and shows a clip from President Johnson's speech proposing the Voting Rights Act. In that speech, Johnson cited specific examples of voter repression, some of which should sound familiar since they're STILL occurring.

But racially motivated districts, for example, is not "progress" regardless of who it benefits. Your claims of voter suppression are not minority-targeted, thankfully, and would not be stopped as such by the courts.
