#SistersInLaw

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 discuss Hunter Biden’s conviction, the validity of evidence from the laptop, Joe’s response, the sentencing process, and if an appeal might lead to the loosening of gun restrictions.  Then, the #Sisters examine the SCOTUS rulings on mifepristone and bump stocks, looking at why the Justices ruled the way they did and how standing affects which cases come before the court.  They also cover recent recordings of Justice Alito and his wife that point toward a religious bias that might merit future recusal, Justice Thomas’ acceptance of more lavish gifts, and what it will take to bring ethics back to the court.

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.

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.
