257: Unitary Executive Meets Textualism

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the merits of the indictment against NY Attorney General Letitia James by examining the challenges of proving mortgage fraud, while skewering Trump’s weaponization of the DOJ under a complicit Pam Bondi..  Then, they dive into the legality of National Guard deployments in our cities, explain what the letter of the law means in 10 USC 12406, and lay out the dangers that these troops pose for the people of Portland, Chicago, and future targets of the administration.   They also break down the voting rights issues confronting the country through the lens of the ongoing gerrymandering case, Louisiana v. Callais, currently before the Supreme Court.Get the brand new ReSIStance T-Shirt & Mini Tote at politicon.com/merchAdditional #SistersInLaw Shows & Content Are Here!Check out Jill’s New Politicon YouTube Show: Just The FactsCheck out Kim’s Newsletter: The Gavel Books & Upcoming Tour Events From The #SistersJoyce’s new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable, is now available for pre-order!  Not only that, for a limited time, you have the exclusive opportunity to order a signed copy here!  Also, don’t miss her upcoming book tour!  You can buy tickets on her Substack.Pre-order Barb’s new book, The Fix!  So, don’t wait!  You can also get Barb’s first book, Attack From Within, here, now in paperback!  Make sure you don’t miss her ongoing tour!  You can buy tickets at barbaramcquade.com for all upcoming shows.Add the #Sisters & your other favorite Politicon podcast hosts on BlueskyGet your #SistersInLaw MERCH at politicon.com/merchWEBSITE & TRANSCRIPTEmail: [email protected] or Thread to @sistersInLaw.podcastGet text updates from #SistersInLaw and Politicon. Support This Week’s SponsorsOneSkin:Get 15% off OneSkin with the code SISTERS at oneskin.co/HAIR #oneskinpodHoneyLove:Save 20% Off Honeylove by going to honeylove.com/SISTERS! #honeylovepodThrive Causemetics:Effortlessly complete your perfect autumn look.
