Episodes

  • Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Matt Gaetzā€™s withdrawal from contention for attorney general in favor of Pam Bondi by looking at whether his appointment was a strategy to make her seem more palatable and the negatives she brings to the table. Then, the #Sisters detail the guardrails being erected by governors, a coalition of state attorney generals, and ordinary citizens to defend our constitution from the 2nd Trump administration. They also explain the status of Trumpā€™s cases in GA and NY, what will happen before he takes office and the fate of his co-conspirators who have already pled guilty.

  • Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to investigate Trumpā€™s cabinet appointees, exposing Matt Gaetz's improprieties and threat to the rule of law, Pete Hegsethā€™s troublingly light resume and lack of executive experience, and RFK Jr.ā€™s advocacy of conspiracy-laden medical misinformation. Then, the #Sisters discuss the future of Jack Smithā€™s prosecutions, looking at what we can expect from his final brief and the national security ramifications of the dangerous precedent Trump has set by failing to protect classified materials. They also debate the ability of the SCOTUS to serve as a check on the presidency and emphasize the role lower courts' have in the battle for our democracy.

    Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to celebrate Kamalaā€™s nomination, explore her commitment to her values and the rule of law, and review the positions sheā€™s taken on criminal justice issues on her journey from DA to presidential contender. Then, the #Sisters discuss voter disenfranchisement and suppression through the lens of a reinstated felony voter fraud conviction of a woman who didnā€™t know she wasnā€™t allowed to vote in Texas. They also explain the links between Trump and Project 2025ā€™s plans for the Department of Defense, looking at how their adoption would undermine our militaryā€™s commitment to DEI, civil rights, and environmental responsibility.

    Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the power of abortion as an election issue and review the court battles in Arizona, Montana, and Idaho that are redefining the scope of our rights. The #Sisters also weigh the upsides of AI against the risk that it will bend peopleā€™s perception of reality and increase political disinformation, exploring whether a recent CA bill will hold tech companies accountable for their creations while still complying with the 1st Amendment. Then, they sound the alarm over Project 2025ā€™s training videos and repudiate Trumpā€™s feigned disavowal of its policies.

    Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss a DC judgeā€™s finding that Googleā€™s search engine violates antitrust laws, the risks of big tech monopolies, and whether increasing scrutiny by the DOJ is pushing tech leaders to the right. Then, the #Sisters examine the implications of guilty pleas by Jenna Ellis and a fake elector in Arizona, explain why Trump was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator and the parallels to Nixon, and look at how prosecutors choose who to charge. They also revisit KSMā€™s attempted plea deal after its collapse and investigate if Project 2025 will ban no-fault divorce while laying out the growing list of lies by Trump about the Republican agenda.

    Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the plea deal with 9/11 mastermind KSM, differences between military tribunals and civilian courts, evidentiary issues that make it challenging to try Guantanamo prisoners, and the prisoner swap with Russia. Then, the #Sisters explain what happens now that Trumpā€™s DC case has returned to Judge Chutkan, how to categorize presidential actions under the immunity decision, and the possible illegality of an Egyptian financial transfer to his campaign.

Then, the #Sisters discuss Alvin Braggā€™s response to Trumpā€™s attempt to use the SCOTUS immunity decision to overturn his convictions, review why he should fail based on procedural default, and look ahead to when we can expect him to be sentenced.
