{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Election Shenanigans","description":"Jill Wine-Banks and Barb McQuade answer listener questions on everything from whether the Eighth Amendment covers immigration detention to foreign election interference, and more. They explain why the Supreme Court treats the ban on cruel and unusual punishment as applying only after criminal conviction, how international legal conferences and ABA programs let countries compare systems, why a crime victim’s civil suit can start alongside a prosecution but is usually stayed so the criminal case comes first, how a Democratic Congress could use the power of the purse and subpoenas against MAGA officials, the difference between real foreign social-media influence operations and unsupported claims of election hacking, presidential succession, and why a president and Senate cannot demote the Chief Justice.\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 Sponsors:\n\nFactor:\nHead to http://factormeals.com/sil50off and use code sil50off to get 50 percent off and 1 free breakfast item per box for 1 year, while supplies last, until 10/31/2026.\n\nRidge Wallet:\nOne thing to pack, five ways to power!
