318: America At 250

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the recent Supreme Court rulings and how they affect our lives.  They review the implications of the decisions on birthright citizenship, the president’s control over independent agencies, voting rights, transgender participation in sports, and campaign finance.  During it, they analyze the court’s performance, expose its connection to Trump and the MAGA agenda, and call for more protections for the rights of all individuals.  They also delve into how the court makes decisions, expose its inconsistencies, and lay out the trends it seems to be following as it heads into the upcoming term.
