Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to dissect the arguments in the SCOTUS decision affirming Trump’s ban on transgender service members in the military, explain the effects that decision has on those trying to serve their country, and castigate its approach to civil rights issues.  Then, the #Sisters expose the duplicity in his administration's legal approach to some of the other critical cases challenging his authoritarian overreach and defending our democracy, and call upon the judiciary to assert its independence and stand up for our most important values.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to look at the SCOTUS debate over whether the state can fund St. Isidore Catholic Virtual Online Charter School as a public school, the associated 1st Amendment issues, and if this represents a roll back of the separation of church and state.  Then, the #Sisters expose the rot at the DOJ with stark criticism over its apparent abandonment of civil rights protections and Pam Bondi’s failure to prioritize the law over politics.  They also highlight the rejection of the Alien Enemies Act by a Trump-appointed Texas judge, and investigate what it means for similar legal challenges.
