"One way they stopped churches from getting into politics was Lyndon Johnson, who passed a law that said you couldn’t get into politics or you were going to lose your tax-exempt status because they were all opposed to him when he was running for President. That law we’re trying to repeal; it’s very difficult to do that."
[While Representative DeLay may be confused about Lyndon Johnson being one of the authors of the Constitution, I think he is very clear on what law he is trying to repeal: the First Amendment. Until now it has been difficult to do that, but they're working on it.]
