Sarah Isgur and David French discuss the Trump administration’s appeal to the Supreme Court about its mail-in voting executive order. Then the two talk with Mike Fragoso, former chief counsel to then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and partner at Torridon Law, to discuss the food truck nature of Senate judicial nomination. 

The Agenda:

Additional restrictions on mail-in voting

– The headline-to-effects ratio is out of control

– Judicial nominees and the filibuster

– All about the Congressional Review Act
