246: Respect My Authoritah

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to explain the state of the cases against Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, emphasizing their past convictions and how the current perceptions of their crimes are affecting our politics. Then, the #Sisters explore the relationship between U.S. Attorneys and the DOJ, focusing on the tension between the executive and judicial branches, and the factors that influence the confirmation process. They also look at a recent legal challenge to sanctuary cities, discuss its relation to the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, and game out the next steps in the Trump Administration’s war on immigration.
