Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the SCOTUS ruling in Fischer, which threw out obstruction charges faced by a J6 rioter, explain why it should not affect Trump’s case, and look ahead to the Court’s immunity decision. Then, the #Sisters cover the overturning of the Chevron deference doctrine, decode how it will impact our rights and the ability of Congress to enact legislation, and spell out how the decision reinforces the death of stare decisis. They also examine Julian Assange’s guilty plea to violating the Espionage Act at WikiLeaks, explore the similarities to Trump’s MAL case, and weigh whether Assange’s actions were an act of journalism relatable to publishing the Pentagon Papers.

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.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the status of Trump’s gag order after the guilty verdict, Judge Cannon’s consideration of the constitutionality of the special counsel statute and other trial delays, the effect of continuing attacks on Fani Willis, and charges brought in Wisconsin for the fake elector scheme. Then, the #Sisters examine the felony gun possession trial of Hunter Biden by outlining the legal strategies being used by both sides and weighing the impact of witness testimony. They also cover the anti-DEI injunction targeting the Fearless Fund’s support of black women business owners and explain why similar grants should be protected by the Constitution.

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.

United States
@19:52: This was another flippant response. The listener's question about a pardon is not obviated by the fact that a trial could not start before the election. The glib answer overlooks the concern about a potential blanket pardon--as Ford issued for Nixon--that would immunize Trump from prosecution, not merely overturn a verdict.
Joyce's answer about a death b/t election and certification omitted legal citations. Her answer seems both specious and nonsensical. I'll need to look into it more, but procedurally, it seems the secretaries of state for each state would still certify the results of the election, independent of the health of the candidates. After all, we rather stupidly still merely elect *electors* for candidates, not candidates per se. The whole Electoral College system is inconsistent and incoherent.
@15:54: Ugh, Kim never knows what she's talking about. If she can't recall the details, at least don't state them incorrectly. The situation she incorrectly described was prominently at mid-field after the game.
@5:07: "It's no coincidence" that two things coincided? Really?
@56:45: The hosts often hold forth authoritatively despite drastic ignorance. Here, they completely misrepresented the entire issue of a potentially retroactive decision about the illegality of bumpstocks. The reasonable concern would be that someone legally purchased a bumpstock, but then, based on administrative or judicial interpretation, would now be in possession of an item that would require a separate, possessor-specific tax stamp or FFL. Ladies, if you care, learn; otherwise, keep quiet.
Kim often seems to misunderstand others' arguments. She said she disagreed with Jill about Barb's "rule of law" comment in relation to clemecy, but then proceeded to both agree with Jill and disagree with herself about what "respecting the rule of law" would mean in this case. Her arguments often seem fumbled and unclear to me.
Dear Sisters, I take issue with one of the statements about racism/sexism. I am white. I am also 81 years old. For nearly all of those years I have seen racism, including by members of my own family. When I was a little kid, I felt some sexism in my own family. Sexism against me, as a female. It is true that the racism was more overt and the sexism was more subtle. Thanks for reading this. Madeline Holland
EVERY SINGLE THING THAT COMES FROM THE SUPREMELY CORRUPT COURT, EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS TO BE A LOWER LEVEL OF DISGUSTING, IS SELF SERVING IN SOME WAY!! (progressive judges excepted from this comment)
WHO doesn't think that when someone of the "conservative" persuasion says, we don't have enough time" - THEY ARE SAYING... LET'S PUT IT OFF AND HOPE THEY FORGET!!!!!!!
@31:40: Joyce is some sort of Pavlovian imbecile. Even when "Alabama" is mentioned merely in relation to (the likewise imbecillic) Sen. Tubberville, Joyce has to blurt, "Roll tide!" What exactly does that idiot think she's conveying when she does that? It wasn't even about the "University" of Alabama.
Why my most favourite of the ladies 💛💛💛💖 Next year, I have to hop over from Europe to see you and fangirl to pieces 💖
OMG! I worked at the Anchor Bar! In the late 60s. Leo Derderian owned it. A newspaper bar. I was a waitress.
@1:06:26: What an impressively arrogant, self-involved, obnoxious, rude, condescending statement. Kim's request, just prior, was much better stated (i.e., as a matter of efficiency rather than haughty direction). That single statement dropped my regard for Joyce several pegs... and I was already underwhelmed by her legal analyses (which nearly always take the form of restating the question several times over, offering an inane platitude or two, and then saying, "We'll see--Roll Tide!").
omg you WON !!! 🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟
"Verses"? You're a law podcast for Pete's sake.
Go grab that Webby Award, ladies , you sooo deserve it!!! 🌟
This podcast is a play-by-play of the judicial branch's self-immolation. The entire 3rd branch of government has followed the examples of the first and second in throwing off all pretense and destroying its own legitimacy in a bonfire of petty tribalism. The GOP has long been the anti-civilization party. That cancer has metastasized in the cancerous pustules of Thomas, Alito, et al.
Completely missing from this discussion is the fact that states elect delegates to the Electoral College, not an individual nominee.
Just voted 😃
Hah, the title is the best ever 😁💛
