343: Jill Fought The Law & Jill Won

Jill Wine-Banks and Barb McQuade answer listener questions on everything from gift-tax rules for large White House staff gifts to whether a Speaker could refuse to swear in newly elected members, and more. They discuss the annual $19,000 exclusion versus the lifetime exemption and who actually pays the gift tax, the political-question doctrine and why a Mike Johnson logjam is theoretically possible but politically extreme, how to contact our representatives, the need to restore civics plus critical-thinking skills, practical fixes for a crashed bar-exam app plus their own exam stories, and how to beat a traffic ticket.
