| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Hashtag Sisters-in-law. I'm Kimberly Atkins-Store. This week we'll |
| 0:16.3 | be talking about the big news that the Trump administration's DOJ obtained data from |
| 0:21.8 | members of Congress, their staffers, and their families, Attorney General Merrick Garland |
| 0:27.0 | laying out a new approach on voting rights, and Weather Garland is doing enough to restore |
| 0:32.0 | the DOJ's credibility. And as always, we'll be answering some of your questions at the |
| 0:37.5 | end of the show. But first, I want to chat with you guys. I know we have a lot of big pieces |
| 0:43.6 | of news that we're going to discuss in the podcast, but because so much happens, there's |
| 0:47.6 | a lot of news that we can't always get to in the podcast. So I just want to sort of throw |
| 0:54.1 | something that I saw this week that we won't get a chance to talk more deeply about unfortunately. |
| 0:58.9 | And that's the fact that Kim Kardashian has apparently again failed the baby bar. Now, |

| 1:17.8 | to law school and never heard of the existence of a baby bar. Turns out, for people who do |
| 1:24.3 | not go to law school often because like Ms. Kardashian, they do not have an undergraduate |
| 1:30.4 | degree, which is required for most accredited law schools. There is sort of an apprenticeship |
| 1:36.5 | program in California where they can kind of work under the wing of enacting attorney, |
| 1:42.3 | sort of take some different classes after the first year of this alternative study. You |
| 1:49.0 | take this exam, which sounds like it's meant to tell people, hey, maybe this is for you |
| 1:55.2 | or maybe it's not. Like, there's your chance after the first year. You don't have to keep |
| 1:58.9 | going for several more years in this. But twice now Ms. Kardashian has taken the baby |
| 2:05.3 | bar and failed that news broke this week and I feel very bad for her. I know the main |
| 2:13.0 | bar exam was pretty hard. I don't know what the baby bar is like, but my condolences. |
