Today on Spanning the State Brian is solo. Brian discusses President Donald Trump public ally endorsed Wisconsin Supreme Court Candidate Brad Schimel. Brian poses the question/ ponders what is driving Wisconsin voters to the polls now that this election has taken a more national stance. He also makes a point that this election may be solely based on turnout. Then Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Legal Studies at the Universities of Wisconsin-Madison Howard Schweber joins Brian Noonan about the relevancy of judges and the court judicial system in this current Trump Administration. Schweber shares a refresher on what is the judicial branch and how it works, what the Alien Enemies Act and how it’s being fought by federal judges, and if we are facing a constitutional crisis and what that means for Americans.
