Marjorie Cohn, President of the National Lawyers Guild, on constitutional issues and the election. She says the candidates have not adequately explained why the future of the Supreme Court is an important election issue. She says the issues of choice, affirmative action and national security are examples of important issues that will be affected by a new Supreme Court.
