1. **1957**: In 1957, most Senators from both parties shifted to oppose the law, with 49 Democrats and 16 Republicans opposing the civil rights laws.
2. **1965**: By 1965, there was a significant shift in the voting pattern:
- More House Democrats shifted from opposing to favoring the law. This shift was reflected in the increase in the number of House Democrats supporting the civil rights laws from 109 to 218.
- In the Senate, all Senate Republicans did not shift entirely to favor the law, as there were still some Republicans who opposed it. However, the number of Senate Democrats supporting the civil rights laws increased from 30 to 54.
