  • 354: A New Era

    Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the unexpected election results in Alaska and Mississippi, the unique aspects of their voting systems, ranked-choice voting, legal challenges relating to election integrity, and how the Blue Wave will affect the country.  Then, the #Sisters examine the SCOTUS arguments in a Catholic school’s challenge to anti-discrimination law, the tension between religion and anti-discrimination policies, and the Court’s evolving view on religious freedom.  They also cover the dismissal of the DOJ’s case against former FBI agents involved in the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, its irregularities, and the political motivation behind it.

    Barb McQuade and Jill Wine-Banks answer listener questions on Democratic plans to counter Project 2025, the potential deportation case against Rep. Ilhan Omar, and more. They explain the constitutional role of grand juries in federal cases, House and Senate Democratic plans for the first 100 hours and 100 days, why civil service rules should still be followed even if opponents have flouted them, the deportation case against Omar, why criminal prosecutions remain an important form of accountability beyond impeachment, and the limits of reporter shield laws and finding a journalist you trust.

    Barb McQuade and Kimberly Atkins Stohr answer listener questions on everything from down-ballot elections to presidential immunity, and more. They explain how voters can research judges through resources like vote411.org and the League of Women Voters, why local media’s decline has shifted focus away from state and local races, how voters can keep pressing officials on corruption, why states may still be able to prosecute Trump for state-law violations, the California State Bar grievance against Trump’s former press secretary, and how a future president could potentially waive privilege over DOGE records.

  • 350: Indictment Maxxing

    Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Trump’s expanding campaign to cast doubt on the midterm results, a voter eligibility lawsuit in California trying to block people from voting, and the need to provide voter information and empower voters.  Then, the #Sisters expose corruption allegations involving Kimberly Guilfoyle and Alina Habba, and sound the alarm on the broader problem of grifting and corruption in politics.  They also explain Trump’s lawsuit claiming the BBC misrepresented his statements on J6, why it might backfire on him, and the case's broader impact on the media.

They explain existing product liability and consumer protection tools that could address harmful AI systems while noting the need for new regulation, the limits of Trump’s executive order renaming the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, Congress’s civil, criminal, and rarely used inherent contempt powers to enforce subpoenas, the value of a post-Trump truth commission focused on creating an authoritative historical record and proposing reforms, and the political calculus around Justice Alito’s potential retirement before 2029.

    Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the ongoing impact of the Dobbs decision on abortion laws across the country, particularly regarding access to Mifepristone, legal challenges to Dobbs and abortion laws, and the struggle to restore our rights.  Then, the #Sisters examine the violations of Posse Comitatus created by Trump’s immigration enforcement, why preventing the militarization of law enforcement is critical to democracy, and the deplorable conditions in ICE detention facilities.  They also revisit Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony, the Trump administration's pushback, and the difficulty of indicting J6 participants.

    Jill Wine-Banks and Barb McQuade answer listener questions on everything from whether the Eighth Amendment covers immigration detention to foreign election interference, and more. They explain why the Supreme Court treats the ban on cruel and unusual punishment as applying only after criminal conviction, how international legal conferences and ABA programs let countries compare systems, why a crime victim’s civil suit can start alongside a prosecution but is usually stayed so the criminal case comes first, how a Democratic Congress could use the power of the purse and subpoenas against MAGA officials, the difference between real foreign social-media influence operations and unsupported claims of election hacking, presidential succession, and why a president and Senate cannot demote the Chief Justice.
