This morning Kerby is joined by First Liberty’s Chelsey Youman. They will take a look at some of the top stories from the weekend and share their perspective. Share your perspective when you call us in-studio at 800-351-1212.
She joined First Liberty Institute after working for a law firm in private practice, where she successfully litigated corporate fraud matters, complex commercial litigation, and consumer rights issues in both federal and state jurisdictions.
Youman received her Juris Doctor from Southern Methodist University, where she was a Dean’s Scholarship Recipient. Youman is a member of the Board of Advocates, where she successfully argued in off-campus mock trial competitions and was a member of the Aggie Law Society and SMU Christian Legal Society. During law school, she clerked for the Consumer Protection Division in the Office of the Attorney General of Texas and Liberty Institute.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) filed for cloture on five judicial nominees, one to the federal trial court in Washington, D.C., and the other four to the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Third, Sixth, Seventh, and Tenth Circuits. The federal appeals courts are just one step down from the U.S. Supreme Court.
The appellate nominees are: Stephanos Bibas for the Third Circuit, Joan Larsen for the Sixth Circuit, Amy Coney Barrett for the Seventh Circuit, and Allison Eid for the Tenth Circuit.
We want to be thin, but love our ice cream.
We want to be wealthy, but there’s so much cool stuff to buy!

We decry sexual harassment, but pornography is the Web’s biggest seller.
The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier containing allegations about Donald Trump’s connections to Russia and possible coordination between his campaign and the Kremlin, people familiar with the matter said.
“Helped fund” is putting it euphemistically. The Clinton campaign pushed $6 million to the lawyer tasked with retaining Fusion GPS to gather Russian mud on Trump. The DNC kicked in another $3.6 million. In other words: almost $10 million.
