Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to explain what to expect when Trump’s election interference trial begins.  The #Sisters review the witness list, dismiss Trump’s delay attempts, lay out the conditions necessary to prove election interference, and explain how the jurors will be selected.  Then the #Sisters preview upcoming SCOTUS cases that will decide whether Trump’s J6 actions fall under presidential immunity, and whether a payment after the fact is considered a bribe under public corruption statutes.  They also discuss the revival of Arizona’s 1864 abortion ban, the Comstock Act, and if we should fear nationwide restrictions.

91: Tony Messenger

Clay is joined by Pulitzer Prize winning columnist and author of “Profit and Punishment” Tony Messenger to look at the ways our criminal justice system has prioritized money, punishment and power over lives during a time when we are finally reevaluating the way our country pursues justice.  How does the system impact the poor?  Is it something that we should all be concerned about?  And what can we do to fight inequity and restore a belief in true fairness and common sense?

245: Convicting Trump & Finding The Center with Fred Wertheimer & Billy Ray

James and Al dive into Congress’ handling of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and analyze the politically transformative effects of Dobbs on the Republican party.  Then they welcome legal expert Fred Wertheimer to discuss the progression of Trump’s first criminal trial, how the charges can be proven, and developments in the other legal challenges confronting him.  They also are joined by political strategist Billy Ray to explore how identity politics have moved Democrats away from effective messaging, the changes the party needs to make, and why appealing to the center will lead to generational wins.
