Description: Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to examine the recent suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, discuss why it happened, and break down the implications it has for our rights.  Then, the #Sisters analyze what constitutes hate speech under the 1st Amendment and why our laws are the way they are.  They also explain why we have a death penalty, outline what constitutes obstruction of justice, and call out the firing of Maureen Comey while asking whether it was a political move.Get the brand new ReSIStance T-Shirt & Mini Tote at politicon.com/merchAdditional #SistersInLaw Shows & Content Are Here!Check out Jill’s New Politicon YouTube Show: Just The FactsCheck out Kim’s Newsletter: The Gavel Books & Upcoming Tour Events From The #SistersJoyce’s new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable, is now available for pre-order!  Not only that, for a limited time, you have the exclusive opportunity to order a signed copy here!Get Barb’s book, Attack From Within, now in paperback!
