187: Loose Lips & Secret Trips
Update: 2024-06-15
Description
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.

@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.
