merrill versus milligan, which centers on a congressional redistricting map and alabama that was pushedulator last year. as one of our next guests, new isaac explains, the lawsuit deals with congressional maps, which would give one of the states seven congressional districts, 40% of the states total population, a real chance at electing a black representative, even though african americans make up about 27% of alabama's population. it is a classic example of cracking impacting, two of the most common techniques to dilute minority voting, which is supposed to be prohibited under section two of the voting rights act. in fact, when a panel of three federal judges, two of whom appointed by donald trump, for this case in january, they agreed that what alabama was doing was the congressional -- in that congressional map, was illegal, and it went so far as to say they don't view the question of whether alabama violated the law to be a, quote, this one. but if history has taught us anything, it's that we should never, ever underestimate this far-right supreme courts leading cutting this voting

guest: i would say the pill milligan with the overprescribing of -- mill began with overprescribing of pain pills and the doctors abandoned or never installed any kind of indict and it's a -- diet and manner of selling prescriptions for cash and first began in the area, the ground zero area talking about in ohio and southern virginia and the guy that invented them through the middle 2000s. now what you're seeing i think is along the lines and people from out of state and going in the prescription and moving on. i thinknk what you're finding is that a lot of doctors haveoc succumbed and they're sold as a boom to c doctors and it'll be taking care of your greatest problem and pain patients that take a lot of your time. it turns out to be a curse. a lot of doctors saw scruples kind of whitherred away over time and insistent patients every day dayay in and out demanding these drugs and got use of the t cash and what you'e finding now is sporadic doctors popping up all across the country and i think fairly isolated cases but nevertheless real problems where they just way underprescribe andd

in merrill versus milligan, the court will consider section two of the voting rights act. that issue is fair representation for people of color in the state of alabama. whose voices and whose votes will matter. already, the federal three-judge panel, including two trump appointed judges say the alabama's map violated the voting rights act. it could remove significant protections against racial vote dilution in alabama and across the nation. in the second case, moore versus harper, a bedrock principle of our democracy is being challenged. that's our system of checks and balances. north carolina republicans are attempting to nullify state constitutional provisions protecting voters so that they can have near total control over federal elections for politicians and state legislators. if the supreme court sides with the north carolina republicans, they would be granting state legislators more power to infringe on voting rights, gerrymandering, all without the checks of a state court. these cases could have a broad reaching impact. but it's no surprise they start as redistricti
