The U.S. Supreme Court has reached a decision in a challenge to the landmark Voting Rights Act.

In a ruling that explicitly declined to address bigger issues, the Court decided that a key provision of the act was applied too broadly.

Guests:

David Savage, Supreme Court reporter for the Los Angeles Times

Chris Ward, one of the attorneys for the Northwest Austin Municipal District Number One. Bill Ferguson is his client.

Ryan Haygood, co-director of the Political Participation Group for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund
