- Summary:
- On what basis should Supreme Court justices be nominated and appointed? Should the Court be representative of the general population? Should there be a 'woman's' seat? A 'black' seat?

This programs pushes panelists that include a former President, judges, legal scholars and journalists covering the Court to explore the tough questions involved in selecting Justices for our highest Court.
