- Justice Kennedy, dissenting.
- I join Justice Scalia's dissent in full. I write to add only that the
- issue before the Court is one of statutory construction, not constitutional
- validity. Nothing in today's decision addresses the question whether MDRV
- 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as interpreted in Thornburg v. Gingles,
- 478 U. S. 30 (1986), is consistent with the requirements of the United
- States Constitution.
