190: Immunity, Immunity, Immunity

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.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:Factor:Get 50% off your first box, plus 20% off your next box, of delicious, premium quality, ready-to-eat meals with code SIL50 at factormeals.com/sil50Aura:Protect yourself and your loved ones online with a 14-day trial plus a check of your data to see if your personal information has been leaked when you go to aura.com/sistersOsea Malibu:Get 10% off your order of clean beauty products from OSEA Malibu, with free samples and free shipping on orders over $60, when you go to oseamalibu.com and use promo code: SISTERSOlive & June:Get 20% off your mani system when you go to oliveandjune.com/sil and use promo code: SILHelix:Get up to 30% off all mattress orders and two free pillows for our listeners!
