188: Apologia

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.Get your #SistersInLaw merchandise at politicon.com/merchWEBSITE & TRANSCRIPTEmail: [email protected] or Thread to @sistersInLaw.podcastGet text updates from #SistersInLaw and Politicon. Please Support This Week’s Sponsors:HelloFresh:Get farm-fresh, pre-portioned ingredients and seasonal recipes from HelloFresh with a free appetizer item per box for life with code: SISTERSAPPS at hellofresh.com/sistersappsLolaVie:Get 15% off LolaVie with the code: SIL at https://www.lolavie.com/SIL #lolaviepodCalm:Perfect your meditation practice and get better sleep with 40% off a premium subscription when you go to calm.com/sisters OneSkin:Get 15% off OneSkin with the code: SISTERS at https://www.oneskin.co/ #oneskinpodMentioned By The #Sisters:From Barb debunking myths around Trump’s convictionFrom Joyce on this week’s SCOTUS rulings and what comes nextSCOTUSblogGet Barb’s New Book: Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging AmericaBarb’s Book Tour Get More From #SistersInLawJoyce Vance: Twitter | University of Alabama Law | MSNBC | Civil Discourse SubstackJill Wine-Banks: Twitter | Facebook | Website | Author of The Watergate Girl: My Fight For Truth & Justice Against A Criminal PresidentKimberly Atkins Stohr: Twitter | Boston Globe | WBUR | Unbound NewsletterBarb McQuade: Twitter | University of Michigan Law | Just Security | MSNBC
