151: No Film In The Camera
Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the national security implications of Trump’s sharing of information about our submarine fleet and why that information has not resulted in charges.  They also cover the feasibility of his motions to delay and why presidential immunity is not a sufficient claim to dismiss the charges stemming from his attempt to overturn the election.  Next, they look at the progress of the Rico cases in Fulton and share the procedure for summoning out of state witnesses, before breaking down the First Amendment issues at stake in the upcoming case around social media moderation being taken up by the SCOTUS.
