10:30Now PlayingWe feature an extended excerpt of Senator Al Franken (DMN) grilling Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing about the socalled frozen trucker case of Alphonse Maddin. Gorsuch ruled it was right for Maddin to be fired after he disobeyed a supervisor and abandoned the trailer that he was driving, because he was on the verge of freezing to death. "It is absurd to say this company is in its rights to fire him because he made the choice of possibly dying from freezing to death or causing other people to die possibly by driving in an unsafe vehicle," says Sen. Franken. "It makes me question your judgment."
