Episode 5: Back to Legalities with Docket!

After almost a three-month hiatus, The Legal Docket returns to the air hoping to pinpoint constitutional grounds for increased government control over the struggling financial institutions. Alongside special guest and Murrow alum Ilya Arbit, this Docket discusses the impact that President Barack Obama's new economic foundation concerning schools, energy, health care and Wall Street will have on reforming the daily lives of Americans. Speaking of reform, the hosts breakdown the criteria that Obama will base his nomination for Supreme Court justice off of, which is believed to be someone who is a careful pragmatist with a limited view of the role of courts. With reformation being this week's theme, Kwass and Jay provide investors and businesspeople with some insight as to how changes will made to struggling companies nationwide, as in the case of Chrysler and General Motors. As we've all seen lately, coming up with reformative ways to change the policies of the military courts hasn't been so simple; this week's debate concerns who's/what's more dangerous to America's image worldwide: Securing the nation by detaining terrorism suspects or releasing Guantanamo inmates? Keep in mind, all people tried under military commission proceedings are entitled to their basic human rights!!!
