Coming up on today’s show:

• On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case that questions the scope of the Fair Housing Act (FHA). The case is brought by the city of Miami, which alleges that financial instiutions like Wells Fargo and Bank of America have violated the FHA through predatory lending to minorities. Amy Howe, a reporter for SCOTUS Blog, weighs in.
