    355: Bring On The Vetoes
    Nov 11 2026
    Joyce Vance and Kimberly Atkins Stohr answer listener questions on presidential vetoes under a Democratic Congress, lawyer disbarment, and more. They explain how regular and pocket vetoes work and why a new Congress should still pass agenda-setting bills; how some states require partisan judicial elections and the importance of researching candidates; the state licensing process for disbarring lawyers; rules for sharing information between federal and state prosecutors; why purchased or corruptly obtained pardons cannot be undone once accepted; post-midterm politicians worth following; and the status of the cases against Trump’s would-be assassins.Freshen up your fall wardrobe!

    Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the unexpected election results in Alaska and Mississippi, the unique aspects of their voting systems, ranked-choice voting, legal challenges relating to election integrity, and how the Blue Wave will affect the country. Then, the #Sisters examine the SCOTUS arguments in a Catholic school’s challenge to anti-discrimination law, the tension between religion and anti-discrimination policies, and the Court’s evolving view on religious freedom. They also cover the dismissal of the DOJ’s case against former FBI agents involved in the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, its irregularities, and the political motivation behind it.Remember to send in audio questions to SistersInLaw@politicon.com for the #Sisters to answer on their new companion podcast, SistersInLaw Sidebar!

    Nov 4 2026
    Barb McQuade and Jill Wine-Banks answer listener questions on Democratic plans to counter Project 2025, the potential deportation case against Rep. Ilhan Omar, and more. They explain the constitutional role of grand juries in federal cases, House and Senate Democratic plans for the first 100 hours and 100 days, why civil service rules should still be followed even if opponents have flouted them, the deportation case against Omar, why criminal prosecutions remain an important form of accountability beyond impeachment, and the limits of reporter shield laws and finding a journalist you trust.Freshen up your fall wardrobe!
