Summary

On this episode of the "jordan is my lawyer" podcast, Jordan focuses on some controversial legislation that recently passed in the House, which includes the "Respect for Marriage Act" and the "Right to Contraception Act". While the odds of these bills passing the Senate are unknown, Jordan is here to break down what we DO know. She briefly discusses how a bill even becomes a law, and then explains why "the filibuster" may prevent these bills from passing the Senate, why the House is suddenly springing into action, and what these two bills would mean if codified into law. Oh, and you'll even get to hear about the time Senator Ted Cruz read Green Eggs and Ham on the Senate floor.... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
