Coming up on today's show: 



    Since Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death late last week, Republicans have vowed to push through her replacement before the election. Sabrina Siddiqui, national politics reporter at The Wall Street Journal and political analyst at CNN,  talks about the Republicans who won't go along with it, whether that's enough to prevent it from going through and what the Democrats and Joe Biden may do if they win the presidency and the Senate in November.
    Theodore Johnson, senior fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, talks about his New York Times Magazine essay, "How the Black Vote Became a Monolith" and how and why despite holding diverse political opinions, Black Americans vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.
    Jami Floyd, senior editor for race & justice and legal editor at WNYC, talks about the life and legacy of the late, legendary Supreme Court justice.
    Listeners call in to share what Ruth Bader Ginsburg meant to them - to their lives, careers, families and relationships.
