Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the SCOTUS ruling shutting down Trump’s tariffs, explain the major questions doctrine underpinning part of the decision, why the court split the way it did, and how the ruling will affect future decisions.  Then, the #Sisters discuss CBS's refusal to air Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico under the equal time rule, the history of the fairness doctrine, the behavior of Trump’s FCC, and the political forces shaping free speech.  They also cover the arrest of Prince Andrew, the difference in accountability in the U.K., reactions from the Royal Family, and the epidemic of powerful figures evading justice.

#SistersInLaw has launched a new companion podcast: #SistersInLaw Sidebar, airing Wednesdays wherever you normally get your podcasts!
