On Monday’s Houston Matters: Pres. Trump is expected to announce his second Supreme Court nominee tonight (July 9). We take a look at how justices are chosen. Then, new maps and flood details post-Harvey could offer key information for local and state officials. We talk with the U.S. Geological Survey to learn more.
