{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Jill Fought The Law & Jill Won","description":"Jill Wine-Banks and Barb McQuade answer listener questions on everything from gift-tax rules for large White House staff gifts to whether a Speaker could refuse to swear in newly elected members, and more. They discuss the annual $19,000 exclusion versus the lifetime exemption and who actually pays the gift tax, the political-question doctrine and why a Mike Johnson logjam is theoretically possible but politically extreme, how to contact our representatives, the need to restore civics plus critical-thinking skills, practical fixes for a crashed bar-exam app plus their own exam stories, and how to beat a traffic ticket.\n\nFreshen up your fall wardrobe!  Get the ReSIStance T-Shirt, Mini Tote, and other #SistersInLaw gear at politicon.com/merch (https://merch.ambientinks.com/collections/politicon) !\n\nAdditional #SistersInLaw Projects\n\n#SistersInLaw Main Show (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sistersinlaw/id1551206847)\n\nJill’s Politicon YouTube Show: Just The Facts (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIMaYVqnSs6_o4D0XhfIYPMCUPXOnJ7JO)\n\nKim’s Newsletter: The Gavel (https://bostonglobe.us11.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=90f9e490a860897c7155feca1&id=8650129a48)\n\nJoyce’s new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable (https://www.amazon.com/Giving-Up-Unforgivable-Keeping-Democracy/dp/B0DZ5XBVKY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1JZQ5OTWGQT6J&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EFoneQCYaWA3MlFc4zOqErEtNXGa5Kxb5uD2Ouh8gTzMczMu3SG4_Lj2fS5bp9KdMgrnKNnCbCuxgr-OxXnEdQYVKC85XPPc6_-7ttC-n-C8Gi24cHlriphgIjDE5DRN1DrSxwab_EkUU5noxjyMEhKrh2mgsknQrhPK8lv76Iny5-nNAyj35lQaHGhionpW12SPKJsGrkWm8qsYjTGtVMrLG7s2itkbksl0iGPaNkc.Wv0EtwkabaEscKBZ-AEyahcbRwF5UdS02RsJ-NSfhh8&dib_tag=se&keywords=giving&) , is now available, and for a limited time, you have the exclusive opportunity to order a signed copy here (https://sites.prh.com/givingupisunforgivable) .\n\nOrder Barb’s new book, The Fix (https://sevenstories.com/books/4821-the-fix) , or her first book, Attack From Within (https://www.barbaramcquade.com/) , now in paperback.\n\nAdd the #Sisters & your other favorite Politicon podcast hosts on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/starter-pack-short/ELrPgm7)\n\nGet your #SistersInLaw MERCH at politicon.com/merch (https://merch.ambientinks.com/collections/politicon)\n\nWEBSITE & TRANSCRIPT (https://www.politicon.com/podcast-title/sisters-in-law/)\n\nEmail: SISTERSINLAW@POLITICON.COM (mailto:SISTERSINLAW@POLITICON.COM) or Thread to @sistersInLaw.podcast (https://www.threads.net/@sistersinlaw.podcast)\n\nGet text updates (https://politicon.attn.tv/p/z6Z/landing-page) from #SistersInLaw and Politicon.\n\nMentioned By The #Sisters\n\nOrder Barb’s new book, The Fix (https://www.barbaramcquade.com/) , and get tickets for her book tour (https://www.barbaramcquade.com/tour) !\n\nSupport This Week’s Sponsor:\n\nFlamingo:\nOur listeners get the Flamingo Starter Set for just $7 at https://www.shopflamingo.com/SISTERS\n\nGet More From The #SistersInLaw\n\nJoyce Vance: Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:q3glmp5enr5gkuu2uaosjker) | Twitter (https://twitter.com/JoyceWhiteVance) | University of Alabama Law (https://www.law.ua.edu/directory/People/view/Joyce_Vance) | Civil Discourse Substack (https://joycevance.substack.com/) | MSNBC (https://www.msnbc.com/author/joyce-vance-ncpn1243130) | Author of “Giving Up Is Unforgiveable” (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/801635/giving-up-is-unforgivable-by-joyce-vance/)\n\nJill Wine-Banks: Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:5klap434eteydsxvdydtqkf2) | Twitter (https://twitter.com/JillWineBanks) | Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/JWineBanks/) | Website (https://www.jillwinebanks.com/) | Author of The Watergate Girl: My Fight For Truth & Justice Against A Criminal President (https://amzn.to/3IezePZ) | Just The Facts YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIMaYVqnSs6_o4D0XhfIYPMCUPXOnJ7JO)\n\nKimberly Atkins Stohr: Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:3c364tyj5mfmd476kswz6rzf) | Twitter (https://twitter.com/KimberlyEAtkins) | Boston Globe (https://www.bostonglobe.com/about/staff-list/staff/kimberly-atkins/) | WBUR (https://www.wbur.org/inside/staff/kimberly-atkins) | The Gavel Newsletter (https://bostonglobe.us11.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=90f9e490a860897c7155feca1&id=8650129a48) | Justice By Design Podcast (https://www.politicon.com/podcast-title/justice-by-design/)\n\nBarb McQuade: barbaramcquade.com (http://barbaramcquade.com/) | Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jdjwmydknwnaljoxntmrt5lu) | Twitter (https://twitter.com/BarbMcQuade) | University of Michigan Law (https://www.law.umich.edu/FacultyBio/Pages/FacultyBio.aspx?FacID=bmcquade) | Just Security (https://www.justsecurity.org/author/mcquadebarbara/) | MSNBC (https://www.msnbc.com/author/barbara-mcquade-ncpn1048426) | Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America (https://www.barbaramcquade.com/)","author_name":"#SistersInLaw","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5043432-sistersinlaw","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43860740/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
