Decisions, Decisions

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jun 26, 2012

There’s more to yesterday’s Supreme Court announcements than the Arizona immigration case. Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor at Slate, talks about the decisions on Montana’s campaign finance law and on life sentences for juveniles. Then, WNYC’s Bob Hennelly on the latest in New York City’s budget deal. Plus: how Mexicans in this area are participating in the presidential elections in Mexico; who are you voting for in today’s primaries?; why governments and speculators are buying huge tracts of land; and how two middle school girls won a computer programming prize.
