#SistersInLaw Politicon

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the SCOTUS ruling in Fischer, which threw out obstruction charges faced by a J6 rioter, and what to expect in the Court’s immunity decision. Then, the #Sisters cover the overturning of Chevron deference and Julian Assange’s guilty plea.

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to mourn the 2-year anniversary of Dobbs, alert us to the growing threats to our rights, and tear into Lousiana’s law that puts the 10 Commandments in classrooms.  In the #Sisters analysis, they explain why precedent, the intentions of the Framers, and the Establishment Clause all point to the law’s rejection pending a ruling on the ACLU’s challenge. Then, they discuss the US v. Rahimi SCOTUS decision, why there were so many different opinions despite an 8-1 ruling, and how the decision affects gun laws with an in-depth exploration of how the court operates.  They also settle the current debate over whether Alvin Bragg tried Trump correctly and debunk the disinformation around the validity of the conviction.

Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to examine the validity of Hunter Biden’s conviction and explain what happens next. Then, the #Sisters discuss the SCOTUS rulings on mifepristone and bump stocks and review recent unethical actions by Justices Alito and Thomas.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the status of Trump’s gag order after the guilty verdict and the progress of his criminal trials in Florida and Georgia. Then the #Sisters cover Hunter Biden’s felony gun possession trial and the anti-DEI injunction targeting the Fearless Fund.

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw live in Boston to review the charges in Manhattan that resulted in 34 guilty verdicts against Trump, untangle the five crimes jurors could use to justify their vote, and explain the appeals and sentencing process. Then, the #Sisters expose the flaws in SCOTUS oversight and ethics by laying out the breaches of Justices Alito, Thomas, and their wives, exploring the potential of putting the court on the ballot, term limits, and congressional oversight to restore faith in the institution.  They also discuss Judge Cannon’s denial of Jack Smith’s gag order and her delaying actions in the MAL case before taking questions on everything from election certification to women’s rights after Dobbs.
