Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw live in Chicago to share their takeaways from Trump’s election interference trial and review its evidence, witness testimonies, and potential verdicts.  Then the #Sisters discuss Trump’s repeated violations of his gag order, the consequences so far, and whether his continued contempt of the court violates the conditions of his pretrial release. They also cover the revival of the Comstock Act and other threats to abortion rights after Dobbs, explore the legal patchwork of state restrictions, and take questions on everything from presidential immunity to SCOTUS ethics.

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the believability of Michael Cohen’s testimony against Trump, weigh its effectiveness for the prosecution, and lay out the next steps of the trial.  Then, the #Sisters explore the ethical ramifications of Justice Alito flying a flag in support of J6 in front of his home, lay out the case for his recusal in the upcoming presidential immunity trial, and call out the Republican lawmakers defending Trump at the Manhattan courthouse.  They also review the SCOTUS’ decision to issue a stay in a Louisiana gerrymandering case, delineate racial and political gerrymandering, and explain how the Purcell principle applies.

With Trump’s election interference case two days away, Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to review the juror selection and the steps being taken to protect them, lay out their expectations for the opening statements, and explain the role of a Sandoval hearing if Donald takes the stand.  Then the #Sisters break down the precedent and criteria for the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and argue for alternate avenues of government action on border issues.  From there, they game out the effects of the unanimous SCOTUS decision and concurring opinions in the Muldrow v. St. Louis Title VII based employment discrimination case.
