The #SistersInLaw convene this week to sound the alarm about former President Trump taking data from members of Congress and others, before looking at the state of the Department of Justice. Now that Merrick Garland has started to move on voting rights, is he finally living up to expectations of those who hoped he would begin to make the changes our country needs?

19: The DOJ, Texas Laws, and Obstruction of Justice Jun 05, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, the #SistersInLaw welcome back Kimberly Atkins Stohr for an examination of how the DOJ bridges policies between administrations as different as Trump’s and Biden’s. After a detour into last names and the law, they discuss some of the cases being used to test how conservative the Supreme Court is willing to go. Then they talk about obstruction in court cases and how it applies to Rep. Gaetz.
