About this episode
Now that the midterms are only a few days away, the #SistersInLaw meet to break down the legal ramifications of the threats to our voting rights and fair results.  Then, they weigh the affirmative action arguments brought to the SCOTUS out of the UNC and Harvard, before diving into the latest challenges facing Trump and his associates spanning new subpoenas, the efforts of NY A.G. Tish James, and more.

On December 3, we will publish our 100th full episode. To celebrate this anniversary, we want to hear from you, our listeners and invite you to answer this question:
