Are Republicans Unraveling a Texas President's Proudest Achievement?

In a special legislative session underway right now, Texas Republicans are once trying to change voting laws in this state.  And the Supreme Court of the United States just dealt another blow to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. That watershed law was pushed through by President Lyndon Baines Johnson, a Texas native, who rightly predicted that by signing it, he was also signing away his party's chance to hold political power in the south.  But LBJ made the political sacrifice without regret because of one formative thing that happened to him in college.  In this episode of Y’all-itics, the Jasons go back in time with Mark Updegrove, President and CEO of the LBJ Foundation.  Mark shares what he believes LBJ would think and do in response to Republican efforts that some say have weakened one of his signature achievements.  Mark also shares what ordinary people should do to have a voice as this state and this country faces a reckoning on voting rights and restrictions.   http://www.lbjlibrary.org/page/foundation
