Good Law | Bad Law

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Political Science Professor, Dr. Eileen Hunt Botting, of the University of Notre Dame, to discuss this week’s Supreme Court confirmation proceedings of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, the impact that these hearings will have on our Court, our country, and our history, as well as what this moment in time will mean moving forward.     As yesterday marked the final day of Judge Barrett’s confirmation hearings, the country waits to see if Judge Barrett will assume Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Court. Today’s conversation is paramount– Aaron and Eileen breakdown the fundamental problems at play in the refusal to halt Judiciary Committee proceedings until after the November election, detail Judge Barrett’s professional career and missteps in and since accepting the nomination, and debate whether or not our democratic foundation is in jeopardy. Professor Botting is one of more than 80 Notre Dame c
