Welcome back to hashtag Sisters in Law. I'm Joyce Vance. This has been a week full of legal developments for us to discuss today.

We'll talk in depth about two of the biggest legal stories. First, no surprises. We'll take a look at the indictment of the Trump Organization and Trump Organization's CFO, Alan Weiselberg.

Then, and we'll see if my sisters agree with my assessment here that this development will have even more impact on our lives.

The Supreme Court issued its decision in Bernevitch versus DNC. We'll talk about what that case means for the future of voting rights in America.

And as always, we'll be answering some of your questions at the end of the show.

Well, big, big week, y'all. And with all the focus on the Supreme Court, something that didn't happen was we didn't hear any announcement from Justice Breyer on the last day of the term that he would be resigning.

That he would be stepping down from the Supreme Court. Were you surprised by that?

I wasn't. And I've known Justice Breyer since his days in the Watergate prosecution office.

He is a man of great principle. And he truly believes that the court cannot be politicized. And that his retirement would be an act of political wrongdoing on his part.

So I don't think he's going to do it. Yeah, you know, Joyce, one of the real tea leaves that you can read there is whether he's hired law clerks for the upcoming term, right?

Because no one would, you would hope, hire law clerks if they intended to retire. And he has, he's hired law clerks for the term that starts in October.

So for that sign, that sign indicates that he's staying. That's a pretty good sign.

Yes, although I will say that other Justice Kennedy, I believe, had hired clerks as well before he announced his retirement. So it's not surefire thing, but that is true.

He that news came through on the last day for Breyer that he hired his clerks, it came through on Friday, whereas Kennedy had hired his earlier. So maybe that's a little bit of a difference. But yeah, I'm not surprised today.

If you had asked him on January 20th at the beginning of this new administration, whether Breyer would retire, I would say probably just because yes, he's very principled. He does not believe that the Supreme Court should be politicized.

He's also smart enough to know the political realities that involve the Supreme Court. I mean, he used to be on the Senate Senate Judiciary Committee as counsel under Ted Kennedy. He is no, he's no slouch. And he understands what the stakes are and he understands what this very tenuous 50 person majority that the Democrats have.

But at the same time, he clearly likes his job. He's issued some of the most important cases opinions, this term. And he's probably believes he has something to offer. And so that's the explanation that I can give. I hope he knows what he's doing. I full disclosure. I think I said this before on this podcast. I wrote a column.

During that first week of the administration saying, okay, great. Now Breyer has been inaugurated. I mean, now Joe Biden has been inaugurated. Stephen Breyer can retire now. So I think that that would be good given what has already been done to the Supreme Court and the tactics of Mitch McConnell that Stephen Breyer taking one for the Democratic team would be more than reasonable and would not hurt the reputation of the court, but he didn't ask me.
