252: The Rules Of Calvin Ball

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze how recent court decisions impact Trump’s agenda and the rule of law across almost all sectors of society, from academic freedom to tariffs, immigration, and more. Then, the #Sisters dissect the legality of an attempt in Texas to limit abortion in Blue states, and sound the alarm over similar plans to restrict access to medical abortion drugs.
