'BradCast' 3/3/2017: (Guest: Legal reporter Mark Joseph Stern on Texas Photo ID voting hearing)

The hypocrisy gets thicker by the moment. Vice President Mike Pence has been discovered to have used a private email server for state business while serving as Governor of Indiana. That, even while mercilessly criticizing Hillary Clinton for having done the same while Secretary of State. Unlike Clinton's email account, Pence's was actually hacked. The news follows a similar report that Trump's EPA Administrator, Scott Pruitt, also used a private email server for state business while serving as Oklahoma's Attorney General -- and lied to Congress about it. Then, we're joined by Mark Joseph Stern for an amazing report out of Texas, where he was in the federal courtroom this week for the latest hearing in the long-running case against the state's racially discriminatory Photo ID voting restriction. The latest hearing was remarkable, Stern reports, on a number of fronts, not the least of which is the fact that after years of successfully challenging the racist law side-by-side with private litigants, the U.S. Dept. of Justice, now under the control of Donald Trump's Attorney General Jeff Sessions, has switched sides in the case. The results, as Stern observes, were both encouraging and, at times, hilarious.
