Crisis Cast Flashback: Aurelia Pucinski - Smarter Than The Boss

The Crisis Cast

From retail politics to sitting on the judicial bench, Aurelia Pucinski's life in public service is brimming with wisdom. This Crisis Cast flashback offers a fascinating glimpse into our legal system from a discussion that took place just a week prior to the now infamous 2020 election. Judge Pucinski references her presence on the ballot, and her second term on the Illinois Appellate Court now expires in 2030. During this episode, she underscores the critical requirements of each branch of government, and reveals a true crisis in the justice system. Lissa & Thom also probe the question of 'court-packing' and if she believes Supreme Court justices owe anything to their nominating President. This episode was originally released October 29, 2020.
