257: Unitary Executive Meets Textualism

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the merits of the indictment against NY Attorney General Letitia James by examining the challenges of proving mortgage fraud, while skewering Trump’s weaponization of the DOJ under a complicit Pam Bondi.. Then, they dive into the legality of National Guard deployments in our cities, explain what the letter of the law means in 10 USC 12406, and lay out the dangers that these troops pose for the people of Portland, Chicago, and future targets of the administration. They also break down the voting rights issues confronting the country through the lens of the ongoing gerrymandering case, Louisiana v. Callais, currently before the Supreme Court.
