Review your constitutional law and check your ignition before you turn that key, today we are talking about the #BreakingNews of Joe Biden's SCOTUS nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson. We look into her background as a judge, her philosophy on the court, and preview just a bit of the political fight ahead.
To do so, we go back to the early 90's when floppy disks and VHS tapes ruled the day to examine John Grisham and Alan Pakula's The Pelican Brief. In the long history of movies, it certainly was one! So come on a journey with us as we figure out what exactly was going on in the convoluted plot of this film, and why the world loved political thrillers so much in the 1990's.
