We talk about the balance of power in New Hampshire government.  A number of bills have appeared in the state legislature that would seek to constrain the judiciary; from eliminating the state supreme court to avoiding constitutional review of laws. Today we investigate the friction between the legislative and judicial branches of our state government.

Guests:

David Campbell: Democratic State Representative from Nashua

Brandon Guida: Republican State Representative  from Chichester

John Greabe:  Professor at the UNH School of Law 

We'll also hear from...

Bill Raftery: author of the Gavel to Gavel blog for the National Center for State Courts, which follows New Hampshire and other state legislatures on judicial issues.
