  • Too Many Ads

    I’ve listened to this for years but the ads keep getting longer and longer. Also the first 5 minutes are all about silly things and not relevant to what’s going on. Can you just stick to the current events and our justice system.

  • Really?

    Bizarre discussion today about gerrymandering. Very little nuance noted about the difference between how the two parties are handling it. Have this discussion when we aren’t in an all out war for Democracy….doing it now comes across as out of touch and ridiculous.

    5/9:26

    I may be done with this podcast. Barbara, Democrats are not just like Republicans. This redistricting midstream was started by Trump and Texas. Kim, you couldn’t just leave it alone. You cannot bring as one podcast or said you cannot bring a pillow to a gun or knife fight. What were Democrats supposed to do? Just let the Republicans gerrymander every state that they control? You ladies can’t have it both ways. This is a very serious issue. So stop trying to ingratiate yourself with ever... more

  • Loving the choice of questions!

    I enjoyed this latest episode of questions and the not politically charged ones! Regular every day questions the effect every day folk! I wasn’t aware Michigan’s cap on Small Claims Court went up to $8000. Keep on with the political and current event questions and please keep sprinkling in these questions as well!

  • Simply the best legal Information

    If you really care about the federal laws and the federal rulings in our country, then this is the show for you. These women come from various backgrounds and they have excelled in their fields.

They also attempt to foresee what the US Supreme Court will rule in various important cases.

    And they’re just a lot of fun. If that ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

317: A Monument To Ego
Q: What is the difference between de facto and de jure in a legal context?
De jure refers to what the law says and enforces (legal discrimination by statute), while de facto refers to practices and effects that occur in reality even if not written into the law; the Voting Rights Act provides a clear example where de jure would be discriminatory by law, whereas de facto discrimination might arise through implementation like burdensome polling procedures.
315: The People V. Todd Blanche
Q: What is the standing issue in the Katie Phang suit against Todd Blanche?
The hosts explain that standing requires a party to have a direct, personal injury or proximate harm to sue, and journalists like Phang argue that the act's disclosure rules and redaction practices harm their ability to perform investigations, making standing a central hurdle.
313: Looking Forward To America’s 253rd
Q: Can national monuments be renamed or repurposed in the future?
Yes, national monuments can be renamed or repurposed, generally through acts of Congress, though unilateral executive actions are contested and litigated.
313: Looking Forward To America’s 253rd
Q: Is it legal for Todd Blanch to accept an appointment to the position of US Attorney General when he has already served as Donald Trump's personal lawyer?
Yes, there is no constitutional bar to a former personal attorney becoming attorney general; the person must go through nomination, Senate vetting, and confirmation.
310: Oh The Hypocrisy
Q: What are the key differences between Bolton's case and Petraeus's case?
They note Bolton's seven-year span and over a thousand pages versus Petraeus's shorter period and fewer items, as well as the involvement of US-Israeli security concerns and the broader implications for national security, which collectively contribute to Bolton facing a different legal trajectory.
