Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the growing threats to press freedom, focusing on the Pentagon’s restrictions on journalists during the Trump administration and a legal victory by the NYT granting journalists greater access to government officials on 1st Amendment grounds. Then, the #Sisters revisit the Anthropic case, examining the dangers of labeling companies as supply chain risks, the ethics of government AI use, and a preliminary injunction against the Pentagon.  They also discuss recent jury verdicts against social media companies in New Mexico and California and their potential to drive corporate change.

In this episode of #SistersInLaw Sidebar, Jill Wine-Banks and Barb McQuade answer your questions on everything from how we all can avoid perjury to dealing with elected officials trying to hold onto power. Together, they discuss Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and whether success would mean this is an unconstitutional 3rd term, what happens if members of government refuse to leave office after being impeached, the bail process and how to reform it, why we still register for the draft, federal versus state voting laws in light of the SAVE Act, and the legality of not actually reading digital terms and conditions.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the murder charges filed against Alexia Moore in Georgia after she had to go to the hospital following complications from taking Mifepristone to have an abortion, and the wider context of the war on women’s rights.  Then, the #Sisters lay out the increasingly illegitimate actions of the DOJ, centering on the attempt to investigate the Federal Reserve, the case of a possible intelligence leak by NCTC head Joe Kent, and the subpoena of James Comey.  They also examine the recent convictions of protestors labeled as domestic terrorists as members of “antifa”, and the impact it has on our civil rights and the ability to exercise our liberties.

In this episode of #SistersInLaw Sidebar, Joyce Vance and Barb McQuade answer your questions on everything from Trump’s attempt to appeal the civil judgment in favor of E. Jean Carroll to the benefits of having a J.D.  Together, they discuss why the SCOTUS is likely to support E. Jean, whether sentencing can be appealed, the inability of states to prosecute federal crimes, and the failure of the government to account for important Epstein-related documents.  They also detail the multitude of benefits of acquiring a law degree even if you don’t practice, and explain the difference between deportation and denaturalization.

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to expose the Trump administration’s attempts to weaken trust in our elections by sending the FBI to investigate the 2020 election results in Maricopa County, Arizona, and highlight the pushback by the state’s Democrats.  Then, the #Sisters explain the federal rule-making process and a proposal by the DOJ under Pam Bondi seeking to protect its members from State Bar Associations.  They also review the latest developments in the Pentagon’s war on Anthropic after it took a stand, including the designation of the company as a supply-chain risk, the lawsuits filed in protest, and Hegseth’s authoritarian behavior.
