01:00:54
Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to review the most consequential developments in the trials of Trump World, including; Mark Meadows’ failure to remove the case to federal court, the lack of a Garcia Hearing in the Mar-A-Lago case, and the separation of the defendants in Georgia. Then they look at the history of DACA beginning with the proposed Dream Act, and the implications of a ruling against it by a judge in Texas– especially what it means for immigrants brought here as children. They also examine the indictment of Hunter Biden on gun charges, how politics scuttled the plea deal, and what it means for him and President BIden.

147: That Time Jill Gave Back The Panama Canal
01:09:54
Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the failed legal strategies attempted by Peter Navarro before his conviction of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena. Then they discuss the potential of a lawsuit in Colorado to keep Trump off the ballot for supporting insurrection under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, and look ahead to similar efforts in other states. They also cover the DOJ’s suit against Texas seeking to remove barriers it placed in the Rio Grande river to impede immigration and how they are likely illegal due to the federal government’s supremacy over waters involved in interstate or international commerce.

146: Rudy Rudy Rudy
01:09:50
Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to share their collective advice for a legal career before diving into the civil judgment against Rudy Giuliani for his defamation of Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman after he refused to cooperate with the court. Then they give us an update on Trump’s trials and discuss why Mark Meadows’ testimony under oath was so ill advised when it appears that his actions were political in support of Donald– and far outside the scope of his official duties. From there, they explain arraignments from bail to jail and why Trump’s co-conspirators in Georgia might have chosen to waive them.

Kimberly Atkins Stohr leads the #SistersInLaw in a discussion of protective orders and of why it is so important for Judge Chutkan to have one against Trump to safeguard witnesses and others involved in his trial. Next, they cover the appointment of a special counsel to handle the potential crimes of Hunter Biden and explore how it will affect the political conversation. The sisters then lay out how Ron DeSantis is taking authoritarian steps to undermine democracy in his state by suspending state attorneys for political reasons in opposition to the will of the voters.
