Bring On The Vetoes

Nov 11, 2026 | 31:31
In This Episode

Joyce Vance and Kimberly Atkins Stohr answer listener questions on presidential vetoes under a Democratic Congress, lawyer disbarment, and more. They explain how regular and pocket vetoes work and why a new Congress should still pass agenda-setting bills; how some states require partisan judicial elections and the importance of researching candidates; the state licensing process for disbarring lawyers; rules for sharing information between federal and state prosecutors; why purchased or corruptly obtained pardons cannot be undone once accepted; post-midterm politicians worth following; and the status of the cases against Trump’s would-be assassins.
