Discussion Topic: Voting Rights
The job of the courts is to apply the US Constitution, not to make public policy. That means that if they are doing their job, the specific outcomes of the decision should not be a factor in their decision. Voting rights is important to a democratic society. However, it sounds a lot better in theory than it sometimes turns out in practice. Do we make it easy for all Americans to exercise their right to vote?
