#SistersInLaw13 Joulu 2025

266: Two Days

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to celebrate the DOJ’s 3rd consecutive failure to indict NY AG Letitia James, review the law governing mortgages that they are targeting her with, and call out their other recent losses, spanning James Comey to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Then, the #Sisters discuss Judge Charles Breyer’s preliminary injunction that will expel the National Guard from Los Angeles and place limits on Trump’s ability to use them as his personal police force. They also cover the Supreme Court precedent that prevents people with intellectual disabilities from being sentenced to death in criminal cases, explain how intellectual ability is determined, and weigh whether that limit will apply in the case of Atkins v. Virginia when it's decided by the SCOTUS.
