Summary

Kim Colby, Director of the Christian Legal Society's Center for Law and Religious Freedom, joins John Stonestreet to discuss the legacy of a truly historic figure, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

What happens next with the Court? What are the precedents for Supreme Court nominations so soon before a presidential election? And why does abortion and the Court's disastrous ruling in Roe v. Wade loom over every judicial appointment?
