Summary

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Trump’s tariffs, what gives him the power to regulate trade with both our friends and allies, as well as the limits of presidential power.  Then, the #Sisters emphasize how nationwide protests are being used to make a statement against the current administration, the implications of the Insurrection Act, and the historical context of the Posse Comitatus Act.  They also explain why the 22nd Amendment should prevent Trump from a 3rd term and highlight how we can use the rules of our democracy to prevent tyranny.

Welcome back to hashtag Sisters-in-law with Joyce Fance, Kimberly Atkins Store, and me, Jill Weinbanks.

0:19.9

Barbara's away this week, but she will be back next week.

0:23.7

We are selling out of our resistance shirts.

0:29.2

So we've ordered a lot more.

0:31.2

So if you go to politicon.com slash merch, you can get one now.

0:35.8

And I know I'm going to be wearing mine this weekend because we're

0:41.1

having a big protest in Chicago. Well, actually around the country, there are protests. And I can't

0:46.9

think of anything better to wear. And anybody who's there with one on, now in Chicago, it's going to be

0:52.1

under a puffy coat because it's going to be pouring

0:55.0

rain and cold. But maybe I'll wear my sisters-in-law pin as well so that I can wear that on the

Amendment and whether Donald Trump could serve a third term. But before we get to those heavy-duty

1:25.7

subjects, I want to talk about spring because it started

1:31.2

officially a few weeks ago, but Chicago doesn't have a spring. We get maybe one or two days that are

1:38.7

in the 50s or 60s, and then we go back as we are now into the 30s and 40s. And I remember when I lived in New York,

1:46.8

I used to actually have a spring coat because there was a long enough spring that I needed

1:52.0

something lighter than winter. I don't have a spring coat anymore. There is no such thing.

1:57.7

And so I want to know what's happening in Alabama and D.C. where I know you guys get

2:04.0

spring. I want to enjoy it vicariously. Tell me what I'm missing. Well, what you're missing is the
