5:43Now PlayingA key hearing is set for Friday involving a federal lawsuit by former and current members of Congress, who are arguing they've been unconstitutionally underpaid, and thus entitled to back pay.
The under-the-radar case involving the Justice Department surrounds the question of whether the 27th Amendment has been violated by Congress not shifting its pay with cost-of-living adjustments over the years.
The Hill's Courts and Legal Reporter Zach Schonfeld explains everything you need to know about the case.
