Summary

Jackson's experiences working as a public defender and on the federal sentencing commission give her a unique background compared to the sitting high court justices.

This episode: congressional correspondent Susan Davis, legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro, and White House correspondent Asma Khalid.
