Washington, DC \u2013 El senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n luego de la decisi\u00f3n de la Corte Suprema de revocar una secci\u00f3n clave de la Ley de Derecho al Voto. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cEn una democracia, no hay derecho m\u00e1s fundamental que el derecho al voto y, sin embargo, en algunos lugares, los estadounidenses todav\u00eda enfrentan la amenaza de grandes obst\u00e1culos para acceder a las urnas. Durante casi medio siglo, la Ley de Derecho al Voto ha desempe\u00f1ado un papel fundamental para eliminar esos obst\u00e1culos, raz\u00f3n por la cual el Congreso reautoriz\u00f3 abrumadoramente la ley la \u00faltima vez que se consider\u00f3. De hecho, la Corte reconoce la enorme importancia del derecho al voto y el poder del Congreso para garantizar esos derechos. La decisi\u00f3n de hoy de interrumpir la implementaci\u00f3n de la ley a la altura de las rodillas es fundamentalmente err\u00f3nea. Lamentablemente, al cometer esta extralimitaci\u00f3n constitucional, la Corte refleja un enfoque ingenuo del proceso pol\u00edtico y los obst\u00e1culos pr\u00e1cticos que mantienen a demasiados estadounidenses fuera de las urnas. A menos que el Congreso act\u00fae pronto, demasiados estadounidenses enfrentar\u00e1n serios obst\u00e1culos para ejercer su derecho al voto. <\/p>\n
\u201cLa decisi\u00f3n de hoy es el \u00faltimo ejemplo de una serie de decisiones de la Corte Suprema que no est\u00e1n en contacto con los desaf\u00edos pr\u00e1cticos del d\u00eda a d\u00eda que enfrentan los estadounidenses. Esa tendencia se ejemplifica en el Ciudadanos Unidos<\/em> decisi\u00f3n, pero incluye casos en esta sesi\u00f3n que hacen que sea m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil buscar reparaci\u00f3n por acoso sexual en el lugar de trabajo y m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil reivindicar quejas de protecci\u00f3n al consumidor en los tribunales. El continuo ataque de la Corte Suprema al gobierno 'de, por y para el pueblo' es profundamente equivocado\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
