Do you wonder what is really going on now at our Supreme Court?  What political machinations and inside maneuverings have produced the recent seismic shift to the right in American law?  Who are the key players and personalities responsible?  What areas of our lives are impacted and how are our rights as citizens changing?  How is the court affecting the democratic ideals framed in our Constitution, such as the rule of law and checks and balances?  Reporter Joan Buskupic, when trying to answer these questions was told, "If we wanted you to know that we would have told you."  Explore what she and other investigators found out.
