220: Serious, Serious Trouble

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the impact that changes at the DOJ will have as Biden hands off the presidency to Trump, examining the risk of retribution against those who sought to defend our democracy from MAGA. Then, the #Sisters analyze the legality and effects of Trump’s initial Executive Orders and whether any judges or laws are capable of restraining his acts as the executive. They also reflect on the universal pardons and commutations he issued for J6’ers, looking at how they hold up in light of precedent and the danger extremism still presents to our rights and freedoms.
