As the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on the Bush administration's nomination of a controversial African-American to the federal bench, many prominent black leaders are mobilizing in opposition. Groups such as the Congressional Black Caucus have argued that Judge Janice Rogers Brown is a conservative ideologue with a history of opposing the rights of African Americans. White and Black conservative groups have accused liberals of hypocrisy and racism. Join Kojo and guests for a discussion on race, ideology, and the courts.
