— Sonia Sotomayor , Politician

"Today, the Supreme Court vindicated the state’s long-held position. Now, the power to draw Alabama’s maps goes back to the people’s elected representatives. That’s our Legislature."

— Steve Marshall , Politician

— Nathaniel Ledbetter , Politician

"Although the Voting Rights Act violation is gone, a lower court could still find that Alabama had intentionally discriminated against Black voters in violation of the 14th Amendment."

— Sonia Sotomayor , Politician

"The court today unceremoniously discards the District Court’s meticulously documented and supported discriminatory-intent finding and careful remedial order without any sound basis for doing so and without regard for the confusion that will surely ensue."
