• 261: The Earl Of Sandwich

  Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the merits of the case against the DC sandwich thrower, the relevant jury instructions, the accuracy of the charges, and whether jury nullification played a role in its dismissal.  Then, the #Sisters look at Chicago’s handling of violence and warrantless arrests by ICE agents, the steps the leadership of the city is taking to fight back against federal overreach, and the unethical conditions in local detention centers. They also investigate the ongoing prosecution of former FBI Director Jim Comey, the ethics and facts involved, and what it means for other members of government.

• 259: Finally, An Episode With Sports

  Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to break down the historical context of deploying the National Guard, the potential for judicial review to restrain the administration, how the 1st and 10th Amendments apply to their use on our streets, and what it means when these decisions become federalized. Then, the #Sisters castigate Trump’s harvesting of $230 million of our money, how the Federal Tort Claims Act applies, and the ethical considerations involved.  They also explain the NBA sports betting scandal, looking at how it impacts the integrity of professional sports, and the role of a recent SCOTUS decision on gambling, seeking to prevent corruption.

• 258: Indictments For Everyone

  Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to revisit the impact of Louisiana v. Callais on the Voting Rights Act, and explore what it means for the ongoing racial disparities in our elections and the future of our civil rights.  Then, the #Sisters review John Bolton’s indictment by weighing whether the manner in which he handled national security documents is worthy of prosecution in light of precedent and the prior prosecution of Trump.  They also explain why the administration is now targeting Jack Smith, looking at the claims being made against him, and if they constitute a politically motivated attack.

• 257: Unitary Executive Meets Textualism
