If Brett Kavanaughs confirmed to the Supreme Court it will have profoundly negative effects on workers rights, Womens Rights and Voting Rights for decades to come.

Eric former Deputy Assistant attorney Thomas Dupree will dig into all of it but we begin with rick leventhal.

We are uncertain thursday and friday what happens. That cone of uncertainty getting wider. Bottom line North Carolina, South Carolina, georgia. If it stalls this is going to be a prolonged impact along the coast. Remember harvey when it stalls.
