The Show regularly checks in with the editorial board of the Arizona Republic to talk about current issues facing the state and the region — featured in columns on the newspaper’s op-ed pages.
U.S. Supreme Court appointments have been an extremely political exercise for several decades. And the disputes between the left and the right became even harsher when then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to consider then-President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the high court, but arguably rushed through the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The Show spoke with Robb’s colleague, Phil Boas, to learn about Bob’s perspectives on the current state of the Supreme Court.
