We're one week out from the the hearings for Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch and the political landscape is rockier than ever.

There have been allegations that former President Obama ordered surveillance of Trump Tower prior to the election, Trump issued a new executive order on immigration, Republicans in Congress are hashing out the repeal and replacement of Obamacare and claims of Russian involvement in U.S. politics don't seem to be subsiding.

MPR News host Kerri Miller talked Supreme Court with Kimberly Atkins, the Boston Herald's Washington correspondent, and all things political with political science professor Khalilah Brown-Dean from Quinnipiac University.
