Senate Majority Leader Schumer has said judges will be a priority for the new Senate. If that's the case, there are three changes to the Senate's rules and norms that should be immediately made to expedite confirmations and prevent obstruction of the confirmation process. Jeanne Hruska speaks with ACS President Russ Feingold about those three changes and why the Senate should not wait to make them.
