251: Nullification

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to usher in Labor Day with a discussion of Trump’s attack on Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, her lawsuit against him, and whether either of them has a case. Then, they break down the assault on the CDC and the healthcare system under RFK Jr.’s tenure, and look ahead to what it means for the future of our national health. They also use the recent sandwich-throwing incident to explore the use cases of jury nullification, and lay out our rights to free expression in the face of the president’s E.O. targeting flag burning.
