Before we jump into our interview with professor Anthony Doob we take a moment to remember United States Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg and talk about what will be a contentious confirmation process for the next Trump Supreme Court appointment.

P.S. Listen to the end for some bonus talk on minimum sentence and pardon reform!
