On this day 50 years ago, President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law. The Supreme Court gutted Section 5 in 2013, and many states are working hard to disenfranchise people of color. Congress could fix it if they didn't want to disenfranchise people of color.
I hope people will give the Republican Party credit for its 50-years of efforts to kill or neuter the law.
