Supreme Court Finally Becomes an Issue in the Election

The next president is very likely going to appoint at least one new Supreme Court justice. The current court  is split four to four between conservative and liberals with one swing vote providing a razor-thin margin on many rulings. Guest host Judy Muller explores what sort of justices the next president would appoint and how will that affect our lives? Also, OPEC schedules emergency meeting as oil prices tumble, and Nebraska's Save Haven Law. Are parents abusing the law in order to get rid of their troubled teenagers?

The next president is very likely going to appoint at least one new Supreme Court justice. The current court is split four to four between conservative and liberals with one swing vote providing a razor-thin margin on many rulings. Guest host Judy Muller explores what sort of justices would be appointed by McCain and Obama, and how those choices would affect our lives. Also, OPEC schedules emergency meeting as oil prices tumble, and distraught parents of difficult teenagers usually have to muddle through those years as best they can. But in Nebraska, parents can just dump them at the nearest hospital.
