Description

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to explain the majority opinion, concurrences, and dissents in the SCOTUS immunity decision, looking at what would have happened if the case had been decided in the Nixon era, the effect on Trump’s trials and the presidency, and the growing risk of despotism.  Then, the #Sisters review recent rulings on social media moderation that kicked the ball back to the lower courts, breaking down the difference between a facial and applied legal challenge.  They also review the impact of Chevron deference being overturned on our safety, health care, and democratic processes.

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.
