Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy says Wednesday he is retiring, giving President Donald Trump the chance to cement conservative control of the high court.
On today's show, Rich discussed Neil Gorsuch being sworn in as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, the potential escalation of action in Syria, and a United Airlines passenger being forcibly removed from an overbooked flight.
The justices appeared divided on the issue right from the start.
Rich covers a New York Times story on Iran and ISIS, a controversy at the University of Texas and a cop who is in trouble for a Facebook post. He talks to a student writer from USA Today, Dr. Mazz, and author Kirk Honeycutt.
Chris talks to Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel about their series in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, Matt Brouillette from the Commonwealth Foundation about the Pennsylvania legislature's failure to pass alcohol privatization, and Michael Bronstein and Colin Hanna on the Monday Morning Matchup about the immigration bill currently being debated in Washington. He also discusses the NFL's decision not to promote the Affordable Care Act and the raise in SEPTA fares.
The Supreme Court justices are back in Washington, D.C., and after the stunt Chief Justice John Roberts pulled three months ago with the Obamacare ruling, I would prefer it was Diana Ross, Florence Ballard, and Mary Wilson coming into town instead.
Chris reviews the arguments before the Supreme Court yesterday focusing the mandate in the Affordable Healthcare Act requiring eveyone to purchase health insurance. He talks to former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty about his support for Mitt Romney for President, Tom McGrath from Philadelphia Magazine, and J.L.Cauvinto and Kevin Israel about their show tonight at Helium Comedy Club.
