354: A New Era

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the unexpected election results in Alaska and Mississippi, the unique aspects of their voting systems, ranked-choice voting, legal challenges relating to election integrity, and how the Blue Wave will affect the country. Then, the #Sisters examine the SCOTUS arguments in a Catholic school’s challenge to anti-discrimination law, the tension between religion and anti-discrimination policies, and the Court’s evolving view on religious freedom. They also cover the dismissal of the DOJ’s case against former FBI agents involved in the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, its irregularities, and the political motivation behind it.
