210: Risible

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to investigate Trump’s cabinet appointees, exposing Matt Gaetz's improprieties and threat to the rule of law, Pete Hegseth’s troublingly light resume and lack of executive experience, and RFK Jr.’s advocacy of conspiracy-laden medical misinformation. Then, the #Sisters discuss the future of Jack Smith’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.Add the #Sisters & your other favorite Politicon podcast hosts on BlueskyCheck out Jill’s New Politicon YouTube Show: Just The FactsCheck out Kim’s New Politicon Podcast: Justice By DesignGet your #SistersInLaw MERCH at politicon.com/merchWEBSITE & TRANSCRIPTEmail: [email protected] or Thread to @sistersInLaw.podcastGet More From The #Sisters:From Barb:Gaetz May Not Mind The Law.  DOJ Staff Must.Get text updates from #SistersInLaw and Politicon. Please Support This Week’s Sponsors:Wild Grain: Get $30 off and a free item in every box when you start your subscription to delicious quick-bake artisanal pastries, pasta, and bread at wildgrain.com/sisters with promo code: SISTERSBlueland:For up to 30% off your order of green cleaning products, go to blueland.com/sistersLolaVie:Get 15% off LolaVie with the code: SIL15 at https://www.lolavie.com/sil15 #lolaviepodGet Barb’s New Book: Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging AmericaGet More From The #SistersInLawJoyce Vance: Bluesky | Twitter | University of Alabama Law | MSNBC | Civil Discourse SubstackJill Wine-Banks: Bluesky | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Author of The Watergate Girl: My Fight For Truth & Justice Against A Criminal President | Just The Facts YouTubeKimberly Atkins Stohr: Bluesky | Twitter | Boston Globe | WBUR | Unbound Newsletter | Justice By Design PodcastBarb McQuade: Bluesky | Twitter | University of Michigan Law | Just Security | MSNBC
