Joyce Vance and Kimberly Atkins Stohr answer listener questions on everything from Judge Mehta’s January 6 ruling to Apple devices listening in two-party consent states, and more. They discuss why the judge followed Rule 48 and the separation of powers even while criticizing the DOJ, how Citizens United can only be undone by a new Court majority or a constitutional amendment and why Democrats should campaign on that idea, Delta’s maps still showing Lake Ontario, why a future Democratic White House and Congress would not instantly flip Supreme Court outcomes, why lying to voters is not a crime, and the unsettled privacy questions around ambient recording by phones, watches, and TVs.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the SCOTUS ruling shutting down Trump’s executive order limiting mail-in voting, what it means for the upcoming midterm elections, who dissented and why, and what it means for future challenges to voting rights.  Then, the #Sisters highlight legal concerns over Trump’s ongoing attempt to take control of the Kennedy Center, explain Congress's role, and explore public reactions.  They also update listeners on the current status of the Epstein Transparency Act, Judge Sullivan’s orders seeking DOJ compliance, and the contempt of Congress case against Epstein associate Leon Black.
