The Democrats Need a Fainting Couch

America watched people get beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge for the right to vote, and now the protections created in response are being dismantled piece by piece. This episode traces the path from Selma and the Voting Rights Act to Shelby County v. Holder and the latest Supreme Court decisions reshaping voting rights in America. It also asks a harder question: why do Democrats keep acting surprised by strategies Republicans have openly planned for years?
