18:47Now PlayingAll eyes are on the Supreme Court nomination of Neil Gorsuch, who is facing his second day of confirmation hearings. But Trump has 123 other federal judgeships to fill, because Senate Republicans blocked many of Obama’s nominees. We take a look at how the top official at the Federalist Society, named Leonard Leo, is playing a key role in helping Trump reshape the nation’s judicial landscape from behind the scenes. We speak with Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Eric Lipton of The New York Times. He recently cowrote a piece headlined "In Gorsuch, Conservative Activist Sees Test Case for Reshaping the Judiciary."
