In This Episode:
Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to examine the legality of the proposed effort by Governor Abbott to gerrymander Texas, how the Democrats in the Texas legislature are fighting back, and where things might go from here. Then, the #Sisters chastise A.G. Bondi for summoning a grand jury to target Trump’s political opponents, and weigh whether she has lived up to the precedent and responsibilities of her office. They also explain the legal issues that could shut down ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ by looking at the potential civil rights and environmental violations taking place there.
