4:55Now PlayingDuring the Bush years, we saw more right wing ideologues appointed as federal judges than at any other point in American history. The courts became so packed with industry hacks that it was almost
impossible for anyone who isn't the CEO of a major corporation to really get a fair hearing. But now the tables have turned, and President Obama is in a position to make dozens of court appointments, including at least one Supreme Court appointment this year. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about why Obama shouldn't try to reach out the republicans with his nominations with Simon Lazarus, a contributor to the American Prospect, and public-policy counsel to the National Senior Citizens Law Center.
