153: Cheese & Kraken

Published: Oct. 21, 2023, 9 a.m.

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the guilty pleas of Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell in Georgia, why they got off relatively easy, and what their convictions mean for the other defendants.\xa0 Then, they discuss the DOJ\u2019s class action settlement on behalf of immigrant families separated at the border, with a look at how they\u2019re being compensated and the steps the government must take to make sure it never happens again.\xa0 From there, they debate the merits of forum shopping that has enabled people to take advantage of the system for better outcomes and empower a single judge to set national policy.\xa0 But given that it was a lone judge who dismantled Trump\u2019s muslim ban, can it sometimes be a good thing?
