Journalist David Dayen of the New Republican joins us to discuss a how President Obama could keep Republicans from out-and-out theft of the nation's highest court, at least for a while. But would Obama do it? And would Democrats be sorry if he did? Also on today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 Trump settles 'Trump University' fraud suits against him by agreeing to pay $25 million.
