207: The Million Dollar Question

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to look at the validity of Republican lawsuits challenges to the election, explain how they’re using them to create an aura of legitimacy around future claims of election fraud, relay their progress in the courts, and share the reasons we should be confident in the system. Then, the #Sisters break down the defamation suit against Trump brought by the exonerated Central Park Five and discuss why civil judgments seem more effective at holding MAGA accountable than criminal verdicts. They also explore the free speech issues raised by Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s cancellation by the Naval Academy and the difference between process and substance when it comes to the 1st Amendment.
