Fox's MacCallum twists herself in knots defending the Supreme Court basically gutting the Voting Rights Act on this Thursday's The Five. As we already discussed here: [The] Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act and handed Republicans a big, fat gift, even as the right-wing justices pretended otherwise. This could bring the U.S. back to the Jim Crow era.
