Description: Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the guilty pleas of Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell in Georgia, why they got off relatively easy, and what their convictions mean for the other defendants.  Then, they discuss the DOJ’s class action settlement on behalf of immigrant families separated at the border, with a look at how they’re being compensated and the steps the government must take to make sure it never happens again.  From there, they debate the merits of forum shopping that has enabled people to take advantage of the system for better outcomes and empower a single judge to set national policy.  But given that it was a lone judge who dismantled Trump’s muslim ban, can it sometimes be a good thing?Get your #SistersInLaw gear or the perfect gift at politicon.com/merchWEBSITE & TRANSCRIPTEmail: SISTERSINLAW@POLITICON.COM or Thread to @sistersInLaw.podcastPlease Support This Week’s SponsorsKitsch:Update your style with 30% off your order when you go to mykitsch.com/sistersBlueland:For 15% off your first order of green cleaning products, go to blueland.com/sistersHoneyLove: Get 20% OFF @honeylove by going to  #honeylovepod  honeylove.com/SISTERSGet Barb’s New Book: Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging AmericaGet More From #SistersInLawJoyce Vance: Twitter | University of Alabama Law | MSNBC | Civil Discourse SubstackJill Wine-Banks: Twitter | Facebook | Website | Author of The Watergate Girl: My Fight For Truth & Justice Against A Criminal PresidentKimberly Atkins Stohr: Twitter | Boston Globe | WBUR | Unbound NewsletterBarb McQuade: Twitter | University of Michigan Law | Just Security | MSNBC
