Author: Politicon December 28, 2024 Duration: 56:19
Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to review the bipartisan House Ethics Committee's report on Matt Gaetz, explain the federal and state statutes he appears to have violated, and determine whether he will face any consequences.  Then, the #Sisters discuss the Senate Judiciary Committee’s ethics report, its recommendations, the refusal of the SCOTUS to accept any oversight from the other branches of government, and how its justices are eroding public confidence in our legal system.  They also break down President Biden’s veto of the JUDGES Act and examine whether it would strengthen the rule of law.
