'BradCast' 3/19/2018 (PA House maps; IL Heads to the Polls; Trump Tests Waters for Firing Mueller)

b"First up today: the U.S. Supreme Court has rejected the Pennsylvania GOP's last-ditch attempt to block new U.S. House district maps put in place by the state Supreme Court, after the previous map was determined to be an unlawful partisan\\xa0 gerrymander in violation of the state's Constitution, meaning new maps will be in place before primary elections officially get underway in the largely 50/50 swing-state.\\xa0 In Illinois, voters head to the polls on Tuesday for the second primary of the crucial 2018 mid-terms, with a tight race for IL's 3rd Congressional district between progressive Marie Newman and conservative Democrat Rep. Dan Lipinski, while the only Republican in the race is a neo-Nazi. But concerns about Illinois' vulnerable computerized voting, tabulation and registration system continue to haunt officials and undermine democracy and voter confidence -- justifiably.\\xa0 President Trump exulted over the weekend in his firing of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, just two days shy of receiving his pension. Then Trump turned his wrath against Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Twitter for the first time. Is a newly emboldened Trump preparing again to fire Mueller? If he does, will Congressional Republicans do anything to block him? And what will the American people do in response to what many believe would be a Constitutional crisis? We open the phone lines to talk about all of that and much more on today's 'BradCast'!..."
