"Led by Chief Justice John Roberts, the conservative justices have sidelined lawmakers, invented doctrines and ignored their own rules and procedures in a relentless drive to trim the Voting Rights Act beyond all recognition.

The SCOTUS rulings go through the long histories of rules and doctrines they're applying, and far from sidelining lawmakers the rulings have put them front and center, citing lawmakers directly.
