147: That Time Jill Gave Back The Panama...

Politicon
About this episode
Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the failed legal strategies attempted by Peter Navarro before his conviction of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena.  Then they discuss the potential of a lawsuit in Colorado to keep Trump off the ballot for supporting insurrection under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, and look ahead to similar efforts in other states.  They also cover the DOJ’s suit against Texas seeking to remove barriers it placed in the Rio Grande river to impede immigration and how they are likely illegal due to the federal government’s supremacy over waters involved in interstate or international commerce.
