<div> <p>In this episode of #SistersInLaw Sidebar, Joyce Vance and Barb McQuade answer your questions on everything from the powers of the judicial branch to pursuing a case in small claims court, and more.  They discuss whether the indictment of James Comey is a case of selective prosecution, what happens when a district is reconfigured by gerrymandering, how the assets of estates are allocated without a will, whether the judicial or legislative branch makes the ultimate determination on our laws, pursuing a case in small claims court, and the difference between a copyright and a trademark.</p><p><strong>Freshen up your spring wardrobe!  Get the ReSIStance T-Shirt, Mini Tote, and other #SistersInLaw gear at </strong><a href="https://merch.ambientinks.com/collections/politicon"><strong><a href="http://politicon.com/merch">politicon.com/merch</a></strong></a><strong>! </strong></p><p><strong>Additional #SistersInLaw Projects</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sistersinlaw/id1551206847">#SistersInLaw Main Show</a></p><p>Jill’s Politicon YouTube Show: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIMaYVqnSs6_o4D0XhfIYPMCUPXOnJ7JO">Just The Facts</a></p><p>Kim’s Newsletter: <a href="https://bostonglobe.us11.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=90f9e490a860897c7155feca1&amp;id=8650129a48">The Gavel</a></p><p>Joyce’s new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Giving-Up-Unforgivable-Keeping-Democracy/dp/B0DZ5XBVKY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1JZQ5OTWGQT6J&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EFoneQCYaWA3MlFc4zOqErEtNXGa5Kxb5uD2Ouh8gTzMczMu3SG4_Lj2fS5bp9KdMgrnKNnCbCuxgr-OxXnEdQYVKC85XPPc6_-7ttC-n-C8Gi24cHlriphgIjDE5DRN1DrSxwab_EkUU5noxjyMEhKrh2mgsknQrhPK8lv76Iny5-nNAyj35lQaHGhionpW12SPKJsGrkWm8qsYjTGtVMrLG7s2itkbksl0iGPaNkc.Wv0EtwkabaEscKBZ-AEyahcbRwF5UdS02RsJ-NSfhh8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=giving&amp;">Giving Up Is Unforgivable</a>, is now available, and for a limited time, you have the exclusive opportunity to order a signed copy <a href="https://sites.prh.com/givingupisunforgivable">here</a>. </p><p>Pre-order Barb’s new book, <a href="https://sevenstories.com/books/4821-the-fix">The Fix</a>, or her first book, <a href="https://www.barbaramcquade.com/">Attack From Within</a>, now in paperback. </p><p><strong>Add the #Sisters &amp; your other favorite Politicon podcast hosts on </strong><a href="https://bsky.app/starter-pack-short/ELrPgm7"><strong>Bluesky</strong></a></p><p>Get your #SistersInLaw <strong>MERCH</strong> at <a href="https://merch.ambientinks.com/collections/politicon">politicon.com/merch</a></p><p><a href="https://www.politicon.com/podcast-title/sisters-in-law/">WEBSITE &amp; TRANSCRIPT</a></p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> or Thread to <a href="https://www.threads.net/@sistersinlaw.podcast">@sistersInLaw.podcast</a></p><p><strong>Get </strong><a href="https://politicon.attn.tv/p/z6Z/landing-page"><strong>text updates</strong></a><strong> from #SistersInLaw and Politicon. </strong></p><p><strong>Support This Week’s Sponsors:</strong></p><p><strong>IQ Bar:</strong><br>Text <strong>SISTERS</strong> to 64000 to get 20% off all IQBAR products, plus FREE shipping.
