#SistersInLaw are live in Washington, DC for a look at Trump’s endless legal troubles spanning his continued defamation of E. Jean Carroll, J6, and the possession of classified documents.  Then they discuss the rise of bigoted anti-trans legislation and what it means for those affected, before laying out how Gov. DeSantis has changed the legal landscape in Florida and what it means for our country.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw live in Chicago to share their takeaways from Trump’s election interference trial and review its evidence, witness testimonies, and potential verdicts.  Then the #Sisters discuss Trump’s repeated violations of his gag order, the consequences so far, and whether his continued contempt of the court violates the conditions of his pretrial release. They also cover the revival of the Comstock Act and other threats to abortion rights after Dobbs, explore the legal patchwork of state restrictions, and take questions on everything from presidential immunity to SCOTUS ethics.

180: Tautology

With Trump’s election interference case two days away, Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to review the juror selection and the steps being taken to protect them, lay out their expectations for the opening statements, and explain the role of a Sandoval hearing if Donald takes the stand.  Then the #Sisters break down the precedent and criteria for the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and argue for alternate avenues of government action on border issues.  From there, they game out the effects of the unanimous SCOTUS decision and concurring opinions in the Muldrow v. St. Louis Title VII based employment discrimination case.

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to explain what to expect when Trump’s election interference trial begins.  The #Sisters review the witness list, dismiss Trump’s delay attempts, lay out the conditions necessary to prove election interference, and explain how the jurors will be selected.  Then the #Sisters preview upcoming SCOTUS cases that will decide whether Trump’s J6 actions fall under presidential immunity, and whether a payment after the fact is considered a bribe under public corruption statutes.  They also discuss the revival of Arizona’s 1864 abortion ban, the Comstock Act, and if we should fear nationwide restrictions.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the effectiveness of Trump’s defense strategies in the RICO, classified documents, and election interference cases.  The #Sisters examine whether speech attempting to overthrow the election falls under the 1st Amendment, the danger of double jeopardy, and if the Presidential Records Act protects him.  Then they compare his political speech with Kathy Griffin’s, and lay out the case for restricting his ability to threaten violence.  They also look at Judge Merchan’s strong rejection of Donald’s frivolous motions attempting to delay the Manhattan case, and discuss his upcoming depositions.
