At the top of our agenda this week, President Barack Obama tackles financial reform. Can Wall Street and the GOP stop him? Who will be the President’s next Supreme Court nominee? Liberal? Centrist? Woman? African- American? The pressure’s on from all sides. And “Measuring the Movement” – we’ll hear what you had to say about last week’s live forum in Harlem, folks coming together to bring about real change in the Black community.

Our “Washington Watch” newsmaker this week: Delaware senator Ted Kaufman on why financial reform is needed now and why the big Wall Street banks need to be cut down to size. Plus, our “Washington Watch” roundtable: April Ryan, White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks; Armstrong Williams, host of “The Right Side” radio and TV show; Robert Traynham, host of “Roll Call TV” on the Comcast Network; and syndicated columnist George Curry.

And she dedicated her life to fighting for equality and human rights. Today we honor civil rights pioneer Dr. Dorothy Height, who passed last week at the age of 98. All that and more today on “Washington Watch.”
