The US Supreme Court has decided not to take up a case alleging voter discrimination in Georgia. The case involves the state's public service commission, which is responsible for regulating utilities and setting rates. The commission has been accused of disenfranchising Black voters. Georgia has not held an election for its public service commission for over two years due to a lawsuit claiming that the way commissioners are elected suppresses the votes of Black individuals. With the Supreme Court's decision on Monday to not hear the case, an appeals court ruling will stand, putting an end to further delays in the legal proceedings.

A group of Louisiana families, supported by human rights organizations, have filed a lawsuit in federal court to challenge a new state law mandating public schools to display the Ten Commandments. The lawsuit was submitted to the US district court in Baton Rouge, marking the beginning of what is anticipated to be a significant legal battle that may ultimately reach the US Supreme Court. Christian nationalists are eager for this confrontation, aiming to dismantle the long-standing separation of church and state in the country.
