Ahead of Dec. 20 threat, judge considers whether NTEU shutdown case should continue

Summary: The threat of a government shutdown is two weeks away. But the government, employee unions and now the courts are still debating the last one. A federal district judge is considering whether he'll drop a series of legal challenges from the National Treasury Employees Union about employees who worked during the 35-day shutdown. The government says NTEU's case is moot because the union would have to prove the exact same circumstances of that shutdown could happen again. Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to explain.
