NPR's Scott Simon spoke with Stephen Vladeck, a Georgetown professor, about what the election of Nathan Johnson could mean for federal litigation. The conversation aired on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, and the NPR report is available online.

Johnson is a Democrat and the Texas attorney general-elect. The attorney general is the state's top lawyer, and the office handles legal cases on behalf of Texas, including cases heard in federal courts.

The interview focused on how Johnson's election could affect that work in federal court. The discussion was framed around the question of what the election could mean rather than any specific case.
