SCOTUS Screwed Us with Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-5-24

     Well, they sure took their sweet time to stick a dagger in the heart of democracy and now the Supreme Extreme Court is dragging its feet before it strikes the death blow. Rather than immediately putting us out of (or increasing our) misery quickly (like they did in Bush v Gore 2000), they're draaagggging it out another six long weeks. Yes, the court will hear TFG's bullshit case where he's claiming "absolute immunity" for his actions related to the January 6 insurrection that he led! It took the court three weeks just to say they would hear [...]

Justice or Injustice with Lisa Graves – Nicole Sandler Show 2-20-24

     I had hoped that the Supreme Court would have handed down its decision on Trump's move to appeal the DC Circuit court's ruling that he has some made-up 'absolute immunity' from virtually any crime because he once occupied the Oval Office, but no such luck. Perhaps tomorrow when at least one decision from the Extreme Justices is expected. Regardless, Lisa Graves returns to the show today in her capacity as a private citizen who happens to have impeccable legal bona fides (just check out her bio at truenorthresearch.org). I'll get her thoughts on when, and how the [...]

8-11-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Supreme Injustice and Trump’s Troubles Too with Lisa Graves

View on Zencastr August is supposed to be the slow news month, and Fridays in August non-eventful. But nothing is normal these days. Lots of news broke today, most of it dealing with the myriad of legal cases brewing in and around Washington DC. Thankfully Lisa Graves is here today to help us dissect it all. Lisa's got the bona fides too... She's worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee and in the DOJ! She was Deputy Assistant Attorney General in both the Clinton and W Bush administrations, and these days exposes the bad guys as she heads up True [...]

8-10-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

  View on Zencastr   It's a Thursday so Howie Klein is here. The challenge today will be in deciding what to talk about, as DownWithTyranny.com is filled with lots of fodder. Howie's posts in the last week deal with everything from how horrible today's Republican party is to how horrible today's Democratic party is (though for entirely different reasons and on different scales of awfulness).. And it wouldn't be a day ending in "y" without dumping on Floriduh, the state that re-elected DeSantis (now the rest of the country understands what I've been screaming about for the last 4 [...]

3-25-22 Nicole Sandler Show – The KBJ Confirmation Hearings and other Legal Atrocities with Lisa Graves

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Thank goodness that's over! I'm talking about the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. It was, to use an ugly but fitting term, a modern day lynching. The Republicans on the committee went for blood. They mercilessly attacked the most qualified candidate for the court that's been nominated in decades. Today, I'll try to present some of the high and low points of the last four days. I'll be joined by my favorite legal expert. [...]

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) On October 11, 1991, Anita Hill testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee (made up of only White Men), at Clarence Thomas' Supreme Court confirmation hearing, and changed the world. Unfortunately, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Almost thirty years later, Christine Blasey Ford testified at the Supreme Court confirmation hearing of another justice who doesn't belong on the highest court in the land, Brett Kavanaugh. I had the honor of interviewing Anita Hill today, and it was a pleasure. [...]
