159: Still On The Ledge

2023-12-0201:14:046

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to memorialize Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and discuss this week’s legal news.  First, they look at the latest developments in Trump’s cases including the rejection of his trial dismissal attempt, his renewed gag order, and a court ruling that he is civilly liable for the events of January 6th.  Then, they cover the ruling to stop private action under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and debate how the Supreme Court would weigh in, before pivoting to a SEC case heard by SCOTUS that could weaken the administrative state by remanding SEC judgements to federal juries.

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to cover the latest developments in Trump’s New York fraud case, including his failed attempt to have it dismissed, the relevance of expert witness testimony, and the reasoning behind the rescinded gag order.  Then they analyze how the lack of a protective order in the Fulton County RICO case led to leaks that might bias a jury and compare Trump’s treatment to co-defendant Harrison Floyd when both have been making threats.  Following that, the #sisters debate the pros and cons of SCOTUS’ ethics code, warn the country about potential loopholes, and share possible solutions for strengthening it.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to dive into the latest developments in the Trump courtroom saga by analyzing the witness testimony given by Donald and Ivanka and the effect of cameras being barred from the courtroom.  From there, the #Sisters discuss the efforts by Hunter Biden to go on legal offense against wide ranging defamatory statements against him, including linking him to Hamas’ attack on Israel, and whether it is a wise strategy.  Finally, the #Sisters share the good news about the SCOTUS taking on gun violence by hearing a case that could bar domestic abusers from firearm ownership and celebrate abortion winning in this week’s elections.

Dear SIL, This is the reason I won't buy an iPhone. I have had a cellphone since the late 90s. I think I had a Nokia then. But now that I have a newer phone, I have been buying anything but IPhone. I've had Motorolas and now a Samsung. I'm the only person I know who doesn't have an iPhone. I really dislike monopolies. Love your podcasts.

On Willis/Wade: such a sham outrage: when the judge asks the defence attorney, which facts or how would he point to misconduct (of F.Willis), his answer is "You know it when you see it". Would any judge accept that as a legal standard? The strongest argument Mr Abbate brought up was: if they had some kind of a scheme going on, wouldn't Willis/Ware want the case to go slowly,so they could profit longer? Instead, they pressed for speed (because of election years etc). Looks like case closed

I love your show. I impatiently wait every week for it to drop! I have a question... I've been so excited that Georgia was pursuing Trump because a republican president couldn't pardon him. it hit me that a republican governor could pardon his STATE crimes. 🤷.. I'd love to be wrong.

I LOVE this podcast! I'm definitely a political junkie and have come to know each one of these amazing women via the political shows I watch. They are brilliant, each in her own way, and able to bring complicated ideas to the layperson (me) for understanding the world around me. I get on Castbox daily and I'll admit, I pop over to see if a new episode dropped while I wasn't looking! "Fine, it's only been four days.... but maaaybe there's an emergency one....". So, I checked already today 🙃, two more days...

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts, expertise and experience. I’m exhausted by the lawlessness of Donald & his cronies.
