Mark Lawrence and Joe McGranaghan had a great show: CBS News legal analyst, author, educator and commentator Thane Rosenbaum talks to us about the US Supreme Court hearing for Kentanji Brown Jackson. We talk about the partisan nature of the hearings now, why candidates won’t answer questions and how the bitter divide feeds into our low public opinion of our nation’s courts.
During open phones, we discuss the bitterly divided partisan hearings, the why she answered or didn’t answer the questions, the issues US Senators are hoping to reveal, and how far down our Senate hearings have gone.
At 9:47am, we host a call from Democratic gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro. We discuss how he’ll be different than Gov. Wolf, his view on stronger gun laws, death penalty, and a wide range of other issues.
