Today on Sojourner Truth:
Marjorie Cohn, professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, discusses the latest on Donald Trump's legal challenges as he attempts to invalidate the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win. It has been over a week since U.S. voters decided to election Biden and Harris as the next President and Vice President, yet Trump is refusing to concede. His campaign is waging legal battles in states across the country in a desperate attempt to overturn President-elect Biden's win. Using frivolous legal maneuvers without legitimate claims, Trump has lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, among other states.
Also, our weekly Earth Watch. The Food and Drug Administration is chided by a federal court for approving genetically-engineered salmon. The judge ruled in favor of environmentalists, but AquaBounty, a major player in the GE salmon business, said that the court's decision will have no impact on their ongoing operations. Our guest is Amy is a Senior Attorney in the Center for Food Safety's Portland, Oregon office. As part of CFS's legal team, Amy practices environmental and administrative law to defend farmers, communities, and the environment from industrial animal factories, aquaculture, genetically engineered crops and animals, and the overuse of toxic pesticides, especially in the Pacific Northwest.
