Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the limitations on Trump’s presidential power using the lens of the Constitution’s Articles 1 and 2, looking at the validity of Unitary Executive Theory, the legality of firings at independent agencies, and the role TROs play in restraining an out of control president.  Then, the #Sisters give us an update on the mayorship of Eric Adams, encourage civil servants targeted by Trump to stay and resist, and expose the dangers posed by his new appointees.  They also explore the ‘reverse discrimination’ case being decided by the SCOTUS and explain how and why it chooses its cases.
