The Nicole Sandler Show20240626 Lisa Graves on Grave Injustice on the Nicole Sandler Show
With the Extreme Court allegedly poised to hand down the final decisions for this term over the next two days, we're joined again by the Nicole Sandler Show's unofficial legal expert Lisa Graves. I had hoped that this morning's announcements would include more than the two they trickled out... and in a sense it did. Apparently accidentally, someone posted a draft of one of the still outstanding decisions-- this one in Idaho vs US. They quickly took it down, but not before Bloomberg News got it, converted it to pdf form and posted it online...

The Nicole Sandler Show20240403 Justice or Injustice with Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show
If you're thinking that in the US, all may theoretically be created equal, but we're sure not treated equally under the law. It's a fact that those with money, fame and power get away with (almost) murder. And if Donald Trump did, indeed, shoot someone on Fifth Avenue? Well, let's just say the jury's still out on that one. And if TFG has any say, the trial would be perpetually delayed.
Of course I have a million questions for Lisa Graves, the unofficial legal expert of the Nicole Sandler Show, having to do with Teflon Don. But wait, there's...2024-04-0459 min

The Nicole Sandler Show20230808 Nicole Sandler Show - Trump Trial Talk with Marcy 'Emptywheel' WheelerToday in Atlanta, GA, the roads surrounding the Fulton County Courthouse were closed in anticipation of the next indictment coming for the former guy. That'll be #4.And that's on top of his already being found liable for rape and defamation of E. Jean Carroll. But the case is still ongoing, as his big mouth after the verdict got him hit with another defamation suit. Too bad for him, his counter-suit was just dismissed by the judge...Plus there's a trial date set for March in a NYC courtroom for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's case against the Trump...2023-08-0900 min
