204: A Nothing Burger

Author: Politicon October 5, 2024 Duration: 1:11:02
Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Judge McBurney’s ruling striking down Georgia’s 6-week abortion ban on personal liberty grounds, the danger of making life or death medical decisions based on politics, and the problems caused by pushing abortion laws back to the states.  Then, the #Sisters analyze the merits and effectiveness of Jack Smith’s brief in Trump’s J6 trial, investigate whether there will be new revelations, and tear apart Trump’s claims of election interference by the DOJ.  They also preview upcoming SCOTUS cases on transgender care for minors, ghost guns, social media securities law, and removing an inmate from death row.
