We talk to Alberto Gonzales, former United States Attorney General and the former Counsel to President George W. Bush, and to WNYC host Jami Floyd, who is also an attorney, about Trump’s choice to succeed Antonin Scalia and what it means for the future of the court. They also visit President Trump's decision Monday night to fire Acting Attorney General Sally Yates for taking a critical stance against the travel ban.
