    272: ICE Freezes Out The 4th Amendment
    Jan 24 2026
    Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to put the spotlight on a memo telling ICE agents that they can enter homes without a warrant, explain whether these actions are prohibited by the 4th Amendment, and weigh the legality of the DOJ’s attempt to wield the FACE and KKK Acts against protestors. Then, the #Sisters lay out Trump’s latest attempt to undermine the independence of the Federal Reserve by trying to fire Lisa Cook, and review the Supreme Court’s response. They also discuss the DOJ’s disclosure that DOGE has potentially been misusing confidential information and how it contributes to the overall undermining of our rights. Start 2026 with style!

  • 271: Trump Threatens To Invoke The Insurrection Act

    271: Trump Threatens To Invoke The Insurrection Act
    Jan 17 2026
    Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to explain the Insurrection Act in light of Trump’s threat to invoke it, examining historical precedent, how the act differs from the powers granted under similar laws, the necessary conditions for its use, and ways to peacefully resist. Then, the #Sisters review the validity of the administration’s announcement of a criminal investigation targeting Fed Chair Jerome Powell for alleged false statements during a Senate hearing, and put it in the context of the wider war on independent agencies. They also investigate the merits of the FBI’s search of a WaPo journalist’s home and sound the alarm over the erosion of press freedoms. Start 2026 with style!

    Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to mourn the killing of Renée Good by an ICE agent, weigh its legal implications, explain the jurisdictional challenges playing out between the state of Minnesota and the federal government, and share the ways they find hope amid tragedy. Then, the #Sisters discuss the legality of the Trump administration’s takeover of Venezuela and kidnapping of its President, looking at the future of their oil industry, charges against Maduro in NY, and what it all means for international law and foreign relations.

All these women bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. They aren’t just smart, they are courageous. I admire each one and together they are a force to be reckoned with. This podcast is just a great opportunity to hear more from them.

What a great podcast for law issues of the day, often politics, but other social justice topics as well. With knowledge, humor and lively engagement, Jill Wine-Banks, Barbara McQuade, Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Joyce Vance analyze, educate and inform in a way that keeps a listener's interest. I've made it an automatic part of my Saturday routine.

I always enjoy the Sisters pulling every thread possible on every topic. Very relatable on whose husband cooks and doesn’t cook. :) Great analogies from Watergate to the current Trump sedition but I think Trump wins on people can die and he doesn’t care. Thanks for digging down deep on Merrick Garland. If he listened carefully, he could hear me screaming at him to get off his duff. Appreciate the update from your perspective on Tish James and Fanni Willis. Great show!
