Summary


The #SistersInLaw sit down together to take on Justice Gorsuch’s recent actions and Trump’s lawsuit against the social media companies.  Does either one have a true grasp on the First Amendment and how to best protect it?  Or should we be looking at the DOJ’s efforts to defend the journalists who risk their safety to cover the most important issues facing our country?

Welcome back to hashtag Sisters in Law. I'm Kimberly Atkinsdoor. And we may be down one

0:47.0

sister this week as Joyce Vance takes a much deserved vacation. But we all still are here with a lot to talk about.

0:54.0

This week's topics include Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch's action signaling that a key first amendment

1:02.0

ruling may be revisited. Former President Trump's lawsuit against social media companies and the DOJ's focus on the

1:10.0

January 6 rioters attacks on journalists. And as always we'll be answering some of your questions at the end of the show.

1:17.0

But first Jill Weinbanks and Barb McQuade I want to talk about some news that happened this week.

1:24.0

It seems that the attorneys who have represented the former president in the past are facing some consequences. Barb, what's going on?

1:33.0

Well we've seen Rudy Giuliani get his law license suspended not only in New York but this week the District of Columbia added itself to the list.

1:45.0

And also Sidney Powell is facing a court hearing on Monday. There was a German in the hearing that was supposed to be this week for sanctions for the lawsuit that she filed in Michigan challenging the election results.

just complete lies that they were pushing.

2:35.0

It doesn't surprise me. It surprises me that it took so long and there are so many other lawyers who are potential candidates for suspension of licenses including our former attorney general.

2:50.0

Bill Barr I think that lawyers should be warned and this sort of relates to one of our topics for today which is the lawsuit that was filed against social media companies and whether the lawyers there have to think twice about whether they filed a frivolous lawsuit or whether it has some chance of prevailing.

3:11.0

So this is a good thing that the legal profession is starting to monitor itself. And I hope that they will keep this up and I look forward to the hearing on Monday for Sidney Powell's case as well.

3:26.0

And I want to add one other thing we are down because of Joyce not being here but I'm wearing two special pins in her honor. I'm wearing some lobsters because she's enjoying main lobster right now. I know it.

3:41.0

And so in a way she's with us today through my jokes.
