The #SistersInLaw get together for an emergency session to discuss the leak that Roe V. Wade will get overturned by the Supreme Court.  During it, they look at the role of stare decisis, and lay out the dangers of textualism and the extremism of the court’s conservative justices.  The ruling will be a giant step back for our rights and the Constitution, but as a silver lining, could it change the game going into the midterms?

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.

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to dig into the legal developments affecting Trump’s cases in New York and Georgia.  The #Sisters explain the narrowly tailored gag order targeting Donald in Manhattan, the ineffectiveness of his 1st Amendment challenge in the Georgia RICO case, and the reasoning behind the reduction of his bond from $454 to $175 million.  They also discuss how lack of standing influences the potential outcome of the Mifepristone case before the SCOTUS, and review the J6 related disbarment proceedings of John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark.

Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to cover Trump’s options for raising funds and the implications of not being able to post bond, Judge Cannon’s issuance of divergent sets of jury instructions in the Mar-A-Lago case, and why the upcoming “Stormy Daniels’ hush money trial” is actually a prosecution of election interference.  The #Sisters also discuss the legality of Texas S.B. 4’s attempt to override federal immigration laws, why the Supremacy Clause applies, Mexico’s response, and how enforcement could lead to discrimination.  Then they explain the DOJ’s antitrust complaint against Apple.
