The Daily Signal - #319: Jeff Sessions Discusses Direction of the Courts

Despite the rancor, President Donald Trump has been extremely effective at getting judges confirmed. Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh sit on the Supreme Court, and 29 of his nominees have been confirmed as circuit judges. In today’s episode, Rob Bluey sits down with Attorney General Jeff Sessions to discuss the direction of American courts. Plus: A new study shows Americans feel strong pressure to keep their mouths shut in public. We also cover these stories:--President Trump says "answers will be forthcoming shortly" on what happened to the journalist who covered Saudi Arabia and recently disappeared.--Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., isn't happy that the White House has picked new nominees for the 9th Circuit Court. --There’s a new migrant march winding its way toward the United States, with up to 3,000 participants.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

That’s not actually true for the original version — it is true for Bill Haley’s cover version, and Elvis’ and the versions after them, but in Joe Turner’s version the part we now know as the chorus didn’t come in until near the end. Sorry about the mistake.
