Your Call: What would Judge Neil Gorsuch mean for the Supreme Court?

We will have a conversation about Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch and how he would shift the current balance on the high court.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats will filibuster his nomination. Republicans want to approve him before the Court concludes hearing the current term of cases next month. What does Gorsuch’s confirmation mean for the future of the Court? 

Guests:

Billy Corriher, deputy director of Legal Progress at American Progress

Jodi Jacobson, Editor-in-Chief of Rewire

Bob Egelko, legal affairs reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle
