Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 1-17-25

      Every Friday I'm joined by Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to discuss what happened in the week that's ending. This was a pretty eventful week, with Jack Smith's Jan 6 report released, the start of the Senate confirmation hearings for the convicted felon's cabinet picks, the fires in LA and a lot more. We recorded this episode on Thursday due to some medical issues and doctors appointments I have, but there was certainly no shortage of news and things we need Marcy's insight on. Peace out... https://youtu.be/_k7x2g3WjDI

Lisa Graves, Senate Confirmation Hearings & More – Nicole Sandler Show 1-15-25

    Lisa Graves is a frequent and one of my favorite guests on the Nicole Sandler Show. Though she appears here regularly in her personal capacity as opposed to speaking for her organization, she has impeccable legal credentials, including time spent as Chief Counsel for Sen Patrick Leahy on the US Senate Judiciary Committee. So she knows her way around senate confirmation hearings. Today's hearings included Pam Bondi, TCF's second choice for Attorney General (after his first, even worse pick Matt Gaetz, withdrew) and Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, among others. An actual ceasefire with a potential end [...]

Confirmation Hearings Begin & the 1-6 Report is Out on the Nicole Sandler Show 1-14-25

    Well, the bad news is that I got a text from Jason Leopold at 3:30 this morning explaining that the situation near his home in LA has gotten much worse and that they have to leave. The good news is that they're evacuating and getting to safety, and we'll be able to reschedule Jason for when he's safe and sound, hopefully back home. It just so happens that there's a lot of news to cover today, so it'll just be us and a bunch of audio and video... The DoJ did release Jack Smith's report on The Convicted [...]

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. [...]

1-10-17 Nicole Sandler Show – Hearing-A-Palooza

It's confirmation season, and the D'ump campaign is off and running with racist, anti-pot, pro KKK, anti-Voting Rights Act Sen Jeff Sessions trying to convince us he should be Attorney General. Jeesh... If that wasn't unfathomable enough for you, David Brock, the sleazy former hatchet boy for the GOP turned Democratic sleaze merchant and Hillary Clinton propagandist penned an open letter to Sen. Bernie Sanders and published it on Medium today. Forgive me, but I just don't trust the guy... GottaLaff joined me to discuss the insanity of it all!
