9:38Now PlayingDemocratic lawmakers are meeting today to debate the way forward in the lameduck session. One key issue will be the timing of the Senate Judiciary Committee's confirmation hearing of attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch. It looks increasingly likely the hearing won't begin until next year when the Republicans take control of the Senate. If confirmed as attorney general, Lynch would be the first AfricanAmerican woman to hold the position. We are joined by one Lynch's law school classmates, Kimberlé Crenshaw, a professor of law at UCLA and Columbia University and the founder of the African American Policy Forum. Crenshaw also discusses the latest in her campaign to include girls and women of color in Obama's "My Brother's Keeper" program, which calls on community groups and businesses to help men of color out of the criminal justice system.
