249: Trump Versus D.C

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to stand up for women’s rights, fire off on Pete Hegseth for his misogynist comments, and renew the call for an Equal Rights Amendment and greater representation for women in government and the military. Then, the #Sisters explain the court decision on the Impoundment Control Act and break down what it means for presidential power and congressional authority. They also discuss the lawsuit filed by the District of Columbia to stop Trump’s takeover of its police force and whether it represents a violation of the separation of powers and the limits on the president’s constitutional authority.
