Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2020-10-18

In this episode we’ll discuss the Senate’s confirmation hearings for Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Aunt Ly—uh, ahem—Amy Coney Barrett from Gil—pardon me—the Seventh Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals. We’ll also talk about the 2020 election, stimulus talks, and we’ll close the show by talking to congressional candidates Christine Olivo and Donna Imam.
