Ep. 8 SHOW NOTES
TRUMP'S JUDGES & JAY-Z'S JUDGEMENT
Trump has pushed through 43 federal judges to lifetime appointments in only 3 years, a third of all appeals court judges in the country. We dive into the history and the future implications of federal judge power in America, and connections to our work in key states. That, plus a debate around Jay-Z's deal with the NFL and a highlight on NYT's #1619Project.
