Let's suppose Democrats against all odds hold on to both the House and Senate this November, with enough seats in the latter chamber to overcome the legislative filibuster, thereby clearing the way for the passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement bill. Given how the conservative-dominated Supreme Court has been chipping away at the original 1965 Voting Rights Act over the decades until it is effectively rendered null and void, how do we know the same fate doesn't also await its successor by this same court?

I actually think Roberts won't be part of the majority on this one. He's going to write an opinion that does uphold the Alabama map, but also states keeps section two in place.
The other five conservatives will vote to strike down section two.
