Description

Senate Majority Leader Schumer has said judges will be a priority for the new Senate. If that's the case, there are three changes to the Senate's rules and norms that should be immediately made to expedite confirmations and prevent obstruction of the confirmation process. Jeanne Hruska speaks with ACS President Russ Feingold about those three changes and why the Senate should not wait to make them.   Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Jeanne Hruska, Sr Advisor for Communications and Strategy Guest: Russ Feingold, ACS President Link: "This is no time for games.

Ever feel like the law is stacked against you? It probably is. Broken Law speaks truth to power in discussing how our laws and legal system serve the few at the expense of the many. This is where law meets real life. Hosted by the staff of the American Constitution Society, we reckon with the origins of our legal system, interview people on the frontlines of the progressive legal movement, and chat about necessary legal reforms to restore our democratic legitimacy and improve the lives of all people.
