America is facing a judicial crisis. From lower courts to the U.S. Supreme Court, it’s clear that reform is needed to protect democracy and secure our rights.

Rakim Brooks, Democracy Docket contributor and president of the Alliance for Justice (https://www.afj.org/), joins to discuss the issues plaguing the judiciary and what reforms are needed.
