Summary

Judge Neil Gorsuch is facing a likely Democratic filibuster on his way to the Supreme Court.

Host Julio Ricardo Varela leads a discussion on this and more with Christina Greer, associate professor of political science at Fordham University, and Cristian Farías, Legal Affairs Reporter for The Huffington Post.
