Why now is the time to expand the Supreme Court. And Bill Press with a report card on the nation’s economy.

 

Sarah Lipton-Lubet on how to break the conservative stranglehold on the Supreme Court. Plus Bill Press with former Amalgamated Bank CEO  Keith Mestrich on the direction of our economic recovery.
