Episode Details

Texas Republicans just suffered a major legal defeat — and now they’re panicking. After their gerrymandered redistricting scheme collapsed in court, a dissenting judge went off the rails, name-dropping Marc Elias and pushing conspiracy-style attacks instead of legal arguments. In this video, Marc explains why the GOP lost, what made their map unconstitutional, and how these wild attacks on voting rights lawyers expose the weakness of their case. When extremists can’t win on the law, they go after the people defending democracy.
