Does the confirmation process really weed out the best people to sit on the nation's highest court? Or simply the most politically nimble? And what would you like to see in our next Supreme Court Justice? Comment below. Federal Judge John E. Jones III, who is best known for his landmark decision in the Kitzmiller v. Dover case in 2005, joins us.

Also, NPR's Carl Kasell will be in York this weekend to discuss his career in broadcast journalism. We'll talk with Kasell about his appearance in Central PA, and his new role with NPR.
