ACLU Exec. Dir.: Republicans’ Core Promise Will Be ‘to Restore the America’s Promise and to Harken Back to a Day When America Was Great, I.E. More White’

EXCERPT:

ROMERO: “So I think it migrates from the courts and it migrates from a legal strategy, because I think ultimately this is locked and loaded for a good long while. It's unlikely that another Supreme Court case coming before it will have a different outcome, not with Chief Justice Roberts charting the majority opinion. They'll have to wait 10 or 20 years before they overturn a decision this quickly. But I think it migrates into the culture wars, into the body politic. It will become a rallying cry for their election. Certainly you will see efforts that will be their core promise to their constituents to restore America's promise and to hearken back to a day when America was great, i.e. more white. And so I think it will have great power in the political arena, but I don't think it will have continued power in the legal arena.”
