3:35pm ET - The Republican
controlled Congress has been in session for almost three months, but already
there is serious doubt as to whether or not it will be able of keeping the
government running and pass any meaningful policy changes into law. Furthermore, this week is shaping up to be an
important test for the Republican leadership, as Congress prepares to take up a
budget resolution for the next fiscal year.
Joining us today to discuss how this process in particular is exposing a
rift within the Republican caucus between those who want to increase military
spending and those who want to reduce deficits, is Neil Irwin, the senior economics correspondent for The New York Times, where he writes for The Upshot. You can also follow Neil on twitter.

policy analyst at the Center for American Progress and the editor of ThinkProgress Justice argues that few
American institutions have inflicted greater suffering on ordinary people than
the Supreme Court of the United States, and that since its inception, the
justices of have bent the arc of American history away from justice and acted
as a shield for the wealthy and the powerful.
Ian joins us today to discuss his book which is a powerful indictment of
the venerated institution. You can also follow Ian on twitter.
