302: The Gerrymandering Wars

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Chief Justice Roberts’ defense of the SCOTUS against partisanship accusations, the controversy over its Louisiana v. Callais ruling and the immediate implementation of the decision, and Justice Jackson’s pushback on the court. Then, the #Sisters break down the escalating gerrymandering war, Trump’s pressure on Republicans to redraw maps mid-decade, and Democrats' possible responses. They also examine the FBI’s seizure of 2020 election records from Fulton County, Georgia, a federal judge’s refusal to return them, and suspicious FBI targeting of a Democratic state senator involved in Virginia redistricting.
