215: Minnie Mouse Would Do A Better Job

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Fani Willis’ disqualification from prosecuting the case against Trump, his settlement with ABC for defamation, the targeting of pollster Ann Selzer, and if 1st Amendment protections should apply. Then, the #Sisters cover the state and federal charges against Luigi Mangione, his eligibility for the death penalty, potential mitigating factors in the case, and the deterrent effect of his prosecution. They also explain the tension between free speech and national security in TikTok’s battle to avoid its upcoming ban in the United States.

Oh, the nickname discussion was worth the entire hour all by itself.

[@AltairaBos33]

❤ you ladies are awesome 🤩 Thank you for my morning coffee talk.

[@danib9845]

Is there a remedy in the law for frivolous law suits? Is there a counter suit measure? And what happens to people who don’t have the means to defend themselves? Does the abuser, Trump in this conversation, have to cover his victim’s legal fees? ETA… Mary asked the question and I got my answer at the end!

[@moodsofflorence]

John Thune’s leadership position was also done in a secret votes🗳️

[@davidluckens3479]

Oh, you can cut on it.Being a shrine to his greatness and how wonderful he is.Because that's all he knows how to say about what he does never seen before and all the times ever ever ever

[@noellefrazier]

Don't not tip the cab driver for turning off Christmas music. If you've spent much time in retail that music is a grind. Or if your name should be Noelle. It gets old I'm 55 and it still gets old

[@noellefrazier]

Oops my birthday is this month I'm 56

[@potto2900]

True! I worked at a Hallmark store for a few years, and by the end of the season, I was soooo sick of even the Christmas songs I liked. We joked we should auction off the chance to use the Christmas CD for target practice!

[@JTfromMN]

The orange 🍊 thimble will just have a video library after all he's a tv personality anyways

[@JTfromMN]
