In this round, Mike and Kurt take on the Supreme Court. When Justice Antonin Scalia died in early 2016, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to hold confirmation hearings for President Obama's appointee. Consequently, Trump appointed Scalia's successor. Now, Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced his imminent retirement. Will the Democrats manage to hold up confirmation hearings until after midterms, when they hope to gain some leverage in the Senate? Any honest observer can see that the Supreme Court replacement process has become a massive shitshow. Will the insanity subside? Have we established a new normal? Is the Supreme Court broken? Join us as Kurt and Mike drink way too much aquavit and discuss these very questions - and more - on this week's episode of Right Brain Left Brain!
