254: Threat To The First Amendment

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to examine the recent suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, discuss why it happened, and break down the implications it has for our rights. Then, the #Sisters analyze what constitutes hate speech under the 1st Amendment and why our laws are the way they are. They also explain why we have a death penalty, outline what constitutes obstruction of justice, and call out the firing of Maureen Comey while asking whether it was a political move.
