When Dianne Pinderhughes checked the news on Thursday, she was prepared for disappointment.
Pinderhughes, a professor of political science and Africana Studies at Notre Dame whose research explores the formation of American voting rights policy, said she expected a different ruling from a Supreme Court more conservative than it has been in nearly a century.
“I was very surprised that Roberts and Kavanaugh would be willing to do this,” Pinderhughes told The Daily Beast. “I did not think they would. You kind of hold your breath and hope it comes out, but you don‘t expect it.”
