Chris Christie: US Attorney
It has been a busy summer for New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor – two separate, serious cases brought against Democratic Party fundraisers in the course of just one week. Republican Chris Christie says his top priority is prosecuting political corruption, regardless of party, but political cynics insist that his own eye remains on political office. Raymond Brown and Sandra King will talk to Christie about his priorities – prosecutorial and personal – and about his evolution over the last three years to emerge as a high-profile crime fighter.
Sunday, September 19 at 9:30 am and 6:30 pm; Tuesday, September 21 at 6:30 pm
The War on Drugs: A Losing Battle?
We’ve been fighting the war on drugs for three decades, but are we any closer to winning after 30 years? On this edition of Due Process, Sandy King takes to the streets of Newark with Mike Pasterchick, the Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in New Jersey. Pasterchick shows us what he claims is the city’s open-air heroin market and asserts that federal drug fighters are making strides in the war against drugs. In the studio segment with Raymond Brown, a drug rehab expert insists that drug policy should tilt in the direction of treatment; while a lawyer who heads a national project aimed at reforming drug laws charges the war on drugs should be abandoned as a 30-year abysmal failure.
Sunday, September 26 at 9:30 am and 6:30 pm; Tuesday, September 28 at 11:30 pm
Voting – Special Edition of Due Process
Due Process looks at a wide range of voting issues including increased get-out-the-vote and registration efforts, an analysis of why Americans stay away from the polls in such great numbers, the ongoing controversy over whether convicted felons should lose their vote, and New Jersey’s attempts to implement the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which was passed in the wake of the 2000 debacle in Florida.
