Ep 51 — Supreme Court Reform: First They Say You’re Crazy, Then They Fight You…

President Biden is out with an op ed on how to fix our broken Supreme Court. We discuss the plan and the possibilities of implementing it. Could we shunt some of these justices off to the minor leagues and save the country? And Missouri Attorney General Andy Bailey wants to keep a man in jail despite the fact that he is actually innocent. Wouldn’t want to look like he’s soft on crime!
