    Jan 25 2025
    Get the brand new ReSIStance T-Shirt at politicon.com/merch Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the impact that changes at the DOJ will have as Biden hands off the presidency to Trump, examining the risk of retribution against those who sought to defend our democracy from MAGA. Then, the #Sisters analyze the legality and effects of Trump’s initial Executive Orders and whether any judges or laws are capable of restraining his acts as the executive. They also reflect on the universal pardons and commutations he issued for J6’ers, looking at how they hold up in light of precedent and the danger extremism still presents to our rights and freedoms.

    Get the brand new ReSIStance T-Shirt at politicon.com/merch Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to review the SCOTUS decision upholding a US-based TikTok ban unless it divests from its Chinese parent company and explain the balance of free speech and national security concerns taken into account in their ruling. Then, the #Sisters analyze Pam Bondi’s performance in her confirmation hearings and weigh whether Pete Hegseth has the qualifications or moral certitude to lead the DoD. They also investigate the future of Jack Smith’s report, how it treats Trump’s actions on J6 in light of the 14th Amendment, and Judge Cannon’s continued interference in its potential release.

    Jan 11 2025
    Get the brand new ReSIStance T-Shirt at politicon.com/merch Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Trump’s unconditional discharge, the role his election to the presidency had on his treatment by the law, his status as a felon, and the SCOTUS ruling on his appeal. Then, the #Sisters investigate whether we’ll ever see Jack Smith’s report, the validity of Judge Cannon’s attempt to halt its release, and if Biden can use his new legal immunity to get it out to us. They also expose Mark Zuckerberg’s war on fact-checkers across Meta’s platforms, the pivot to an X-style community notes system, and the growing risk of misinformation and disinformation throughout the social media landscape.

That Was The Week That Was…

I always enjoy the Sisters pulling every thread possible on every topic. Very relatable on whose husband cooks and doesn’t cook. :) Great analogies from Watergate to the current Trump sedition but I think Trump wins on people can die and he doesn’t care. Thanks for digging down deep on Merrick Garland. If he listened carefully, he could hear me screaming at him to get off his duff. Appreciate the update from your perspective on Tish James and Fanni Willis. Great show!

Loved this episode...

Love the analysis in this podcast, and listen every week... this week, Jill's comments about her being referenced in a book, led me to look at her photos circa 1974... notwithstanding her brilliant legal mind and analysis, she WAS pretty fly back then... but the more things change the more they stay the same! Thank you #SistersInLaw!

Fan girl here!

All these women bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. They aren’t just smart, they are courageous. I admire each one and together they are a force to be reckoned with. This podcast is just a great opportunity to hear more from them.

Sisters Any Family Can Love!

What a great podcast for law issues of the day, often politics, but other social justice topics as well. With knowledge, humor and lively engagement, Jill Wine-Banks, Barbara McQuade, Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Joyce Vance analyze, educate and inform in a way that keeps a listener's interest. I've made it an automatic part of my Saturday routine.

Listen and Learn

This is a great podcast if you like to listen to really smart women discuss the law's impact on the happenings in the world. Although the focus is on current events, what makes it extraordinary is the fascinating experiences and life stories each brings to the discussion. I'm inspired, entertained and I learn something new with every episode. Go Sisters!

Such a relief and so much fun!

All the sisters are great to listen to, and it’s about time we had this type of perspective!. Very enjoyable participation by all of them, love the balanced viewpoints, and wishing Jill the best of fun with new film possibilities. A special commemorative pin should be designed if the film goes through! I want one!

I look forward to Saturday morning!

When I take my dog outside for the first time on Saturdays, I sing him a little tune; "It's Sisters Day."

I follow news and politics closely. Listening to your views and legal opinions gives me more information to draw upon.

My daughter is a baby lawyer in Illinois. (Public Defender) My hope for her is that she ends up a combination of the four you. Can you imagine? A Super Lawyer!

Love it!

These women are amazing! Intelligent and knowledgeable, they cover the most important legal issues of the moment in layman's terms; and they do it as though we're all sitting at the kitchen table by expressing humor as well.
