About this episode
#SistersInLaw fill us in on Trump’s indictment by Jack Smith on felony charges and explain why the Espionage Act is involved.  They also debate the significance of the crossover by conservative justices to uphold voting rights, before looking at a judge’s recent order striking down a drag show ban and the implications that laws targeting these performances have for the 1st Amendment.
