Democrats look to Voting Rights Act of 1965 for change, but will need Supreme Court backing By Brian Slodysko Nine justices make up the Supreme Court, with one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices. WASHINGTON (AP) - As congressional Democrats gear up for another bruising legislative push to expand voting rights, much of their attention has quietly focused on a small yet crucial voting bloc with the power to scuttle their plans: the nine Supreme Court justices. Democrats face dim prospects for passing voting legislation through a narrowly divided Congress, where an issue that once drew compromise has become an increasingly partisan flashpoint. But as they look to reinstate key parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a landmark civil rights-era law diminished over the past decade by Supreme Court rulings, they have accepted the reality that any bill they pass probably will wind up in litigation and ultimately back before the high court.
