The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SiriusXM PROGRESS ch.127

As the sun set last Friday night, Republicans were headed into the weekend and what remains of the current Supreme Court term with a solid majority and a docket full of some of the most consequential cases in decades. Affirmative action, abortion, birth control, immigration, an effort to shift congressional power to Republicans are all currently before the justices and the fact that the balance of power on the court has just changed as a result of Justice Scalia’s death seems to be lost in all the media coverage surrounding the talk about his replacement.  Joining me today to talk all about the impact that Justice Scalia’s death will have on the current batch of cases in front of the Court is Ian Millhiser, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress Action Fund and the Editor of ThinkProgress Justice.  You can also follow Ian on twitter.
