Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 01/15/2019, including: Nearly two-thirds (65%) of American adults with debt don’t know when (or if) they’ll ever be debt-free, according to a new study from CreditCards.com. That includes 41% who don’t know when they’ll pay off their debt and 25% who expect to die in debt; Angel Mom Mary Ann Mendoza says the establishment media and Democrats’ claim that illegal immigration is a “manufactured crisis” are kicking the graves of Americans who have been murdered by illegal aliens. Angel Mom Mendoza’s son, 32-year-old police officer Brandon Mendoza, was killed by a drunk illegal alien who was driving the wrong way down a highway in Mesa, Arizona; Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg missed 3 straight days of oral arguments as she recovers from recent lung cancer surgery. Her absence raises questions about how the court operates when one of its members is not on hand. With such a small group, the absence of a justice can disrupt the predictable rhythms of a court built on continuity. Sources close to Ginsburg reiterate she has no plans to step down, and they fully expect her to be back in her chambers and on the bench in coming days. We look at the mechanics and the politics of Ginsburg's absence, and what the future holds for the Court, in both the short- and long-term.
