RBG: Her Legacy & The Court’s Future, A PBS NewsHour Special
RBG: Her Legacy & The Court’s Future, A PBS NewsHour Special
Thu, 09/24/2020 - 8:00pm - 9:00pm
To mark the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, WXXI brings you this PBS NewsHour special commemorating her life.
PBS NewsHour takes a look at the life of the historic civil rights figure and culture icon, Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The program will also explore the process of filling the vacant Supreme Court seat. RBG: Her Legacy & The Court’s Future airs Thursday, September 24 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV. This special will repeat on WXXI-WORLD 9/25 at 8 p.m., 9/26 at 1 a.m., and at 9 a.m.
The primetime special will be anchored by managing editor Judy Woodruff and include contributions from PBS NewsHour senior national correspondent Amna Nawaz, Capitol Hill correspondent Lisa Desjardins, White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, national correspondent John Yang and Marcia Coyle of The National Law Journal.
RBG: Her Legacy & The Court’s Future will feature thoughtful conversations and interviews with people who knew and worked with Ginsburg, others who carry her work forward in the law, as well as reporting on the battle to replace her – how that is changing the remaining days of the campaign and possibly the structure and nature of the Senate and the Court themselves.
Expected guests include:
Associate Justice Stephen Breyer
United States Supreme Court
Christopher Scalia
Son of the late Associate Justice Antonin Scalia
Judge M. Margaret McKeown
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and mentee to Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Lisa Blatt
Former clerk, United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
Paul Clement
43rd Solicitor General of the United States
Please note: To accomodate this special, WXXI-TV will push back regularly scheduled programming. Grand Tours of Scotland’s Lochs airs at 9 p.m., Maigret at 10 p.m., Art & Design in Chicago at 11:30 p.m. and Amanpour and Company at 12 a.m.
