Episode Description from the Publisher

Barb McQuade and Kimberly Atkins Stohr answer listener questions on everything from selective prosecution to the origins of the filibuster. They discuss how discrimination claimants can proceed given the current state of the EEOC, the lack of a federal duty to disclose a member of Congress’s death, the distinction between prosecutorial discretion and selective prosecution, how the shadow docket differs from the full merits process, whether a newly convened special grand jury in D.C. might target Anthony Fauci or Jack Smith, and the historical roots of the filibuster rule as an obstructive tool rather than a way to force consensus.Freshen up your spring wardrobe!  Get the ReSIStance T-Shirt, Mini Tote, and other #SistersInLaw gear at politicon.com/merch! Additional #SistersInLaw Projects#SistersInLaw Main ShowJill’s Politicon YouTube Show: Just The FactsKim’s Newsletter: The GavelJoyce’s new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable, is now available, and for a limited time, you have the exclusive opportunity to order a signed copy here. Order Barb’s new book, The Fix, or her first book, Attack From Within, now in paperback. Add the #Sisters & your other favorite Politicon podcast hosts on BlueskyGet your #SistersInLaw MERCH at politicon.com/merchWEBSITE & TRANSCRIPTEmail: SISTERSINLAW@POLITICON.COM or Thread to @sistersInLaw.podcastGet text updates from #SistersInLaw and Politicon. Mentioned By The #SistersOrder Barb’s new book, The Fix, and get tickets for her book tour!Support This Week’s Sponsors:DeleteMe:Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to joindeleteme.com/SISTERS and use promocode SISTERS at checkout.Lifepro Vibration Plates:Real movement.
