governor abbott's plan doesn't work. an nbc news review of the most recent state and fbi data finds texas is well behind the national average when it comes to states that actually find, arrest, and put away rape suspects. another worry for abortion advocates and many legal scholars is that by blessing this law, the supreme court could unleash a contagion effect, prompting a rash of similar laws in other states. and if the high court upholds s.b. 8, it could also have massive implications for the future of federal law enforcement. so much so that more than 120 current and former prosecutors and judges signed on to a brief last week calling s.b. 8, quote, perhaps the most blatant attempt to subvert federal authority since jim crow. because upholding the law in texas could give advocates of states' rights the very ammunition they need to fight other federal laws for which they don't agree, like gun restrictions and voting rights laws. joining me now is melissa murray, nyu school of law professor and faculty director at the

monday texas governor greg abbott approved new political maps for the state's congressional and legislative districts. now after the 2020 census, texas gained two congressional seats, the state added those two new districts because the state's population grew. and 95% of that growth was actually driven by people of color. so logically the districts would reflect that growth. instead, republicans opted to give white voters both control of those districts. voting rights groups wasted no time in taking the state to court. now just moments after the governor signed that map into law, a lawsuit was filed by texas voters and voto latino saying it violated the voting rights act. to discuss us, maria teresa kumar. it's great to have you with us. hispanic people make up 39% of texas' population. the numbers speak for themselves. under this new map they only have the majority in seven out of 38 congressional districts, 30 out of 150 state house districts, and 7 out of 31 state senate districts. that's about 20% of those allotted seats. this is the first year in nearly 50 years that texas hasn't had t
