From T.V. ads to house parties, lobbying groups are mobilizing and weighing in on who should be the next Supreme Court Justice. We'll look at their issues, their approach, and how effective they've been in the past, and may be this time around. Laura is joined by Jeff Smith, Visiting Instructor in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College, and Trevor Parry-Giles, Professor in the Deparment of Communications at the University of Maryland, with a special focus in the Supreme Court nomination process. We will also hear from Chuck Douglas, former New Hampshire Congressman, former New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice, and now with the organization Progress for America, and Liza Dube, Policy Director for NARAL New Hampshire.
