John Lewis marched and bled so The Voting Rights Act could become law. Hundreds more died. But John Roberts and his largely racist, Republican Supreme Court have destroyed Lewis' legacy - and demolished The Voting Rights Act. American democracy may never recover. This is not hyperbole. Years ago, when Roberts was about to be appointed to the Supreme Court, Lewis warned us: "Under Roberts, I feel that the leadership of the Court will promote politics over the protection of individual rights and liberties.
