Original air-date: 3-22-2023. On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 Amid a momentary pause in the ongoing Indictment Watch for our disgraced former president, the 'most important election of the year' is now underway in Wisconsin. Journalist, author and Wisconsin native JOHN NICHOLS of The Nation discusses the extraordinarily heated and critical WI state Supreme Court election that may finally flip control of the state's high court to liberals for the first time in 15 years. Nichols explains why this particular race is critical to Wisconsin, to women's reproductive rights, worker rights, voting rights, free and fair elections, and to the nation as a whole in advance of the 2024 Presidential election in the closely-divided battleground state. Also today:\xa0 In the federal grand jury investigation of Donald Trump's theft of classified documents from the White House, an appeals court has ordered Trump attorney Evan Corcoran to testify and turn over documents in the probe, piercing attorney-client privilege under the 'crime-fraud exception.'\xa0 But longtime prosecutors say the court's order requiring Trump's team and the Justice Department's Special Counsel's office to rapidly file briefs overnight, in mere hours, is unprecedented, unleashing a flurry of speculation, including whether the emergency order signaled 'an urgent issue of national security', and more.
