Summary

Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to revisit the impact of Louisiana v. Callais on the Voting Rights Act, and explore what it means for the ongoing racial disparities in our elections and the future of our civil rights. Then, the #Sisters review John Bolton’s indictment by weighing whether the manner in which he handled national security documents is worthy of prosecution in light of precedent and the prior prosecution of Trump. They also explain why the administration is now targeting Jack Smith, looking at the claims being made against him, and if they constitute a politically motivated attack.
