Ruth Bader Ginsburg is being accorded the respect and honors due her -- though, it seems, not from a graceless, intimidated Trump.
The city of Louisville, Ky., tried to make quick work of closing the case of the fatal shooting by police of Breonna Taylor during a no-knock drug raid at her home on March 13. But mass protests across the country over police actions and Taylor's death continue, even after the city agreed to a $12-million payout to her family. Listeners discuss the significance of the case and the outcomes so far.
Philanthropist and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg has helped raise $20 million to help a Florida-based charity, the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, restore the voting rights of 32,000 ex-felons, who cannot vote until all money penalties against them are paid. It's a civic-minded charitable cause, Bloomberg says. But is it also a way to "buy" a bloc of votes pushing for a Joe Biden win in a swing state?
