Bloomberg Law Editor Jordan Rubin discusses how President Trump’s quest to resume federal executions got a boost from his two appointees on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit this week, as the court upended an injunction that had halted the Justice Department’s attempts to carry out the death penalty. Professor Carl Tobias of the University of Richmond School of Law, discusses Trump’s nomination of Kentucky federal judge Justin R. Walker, who was previously given a "Not Qualified" rating by The American Bar Association, for an upcoming vacancy at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, often regarded as the second-highest court in the land. They speak to host June Grasso.
