The Courts, Rule of Law and Lisa Graves – Nicole Sandler Show 6-25-25

    While we await the final rulings of this term from the Supreme Extreme Court, we're still getting decisions from them along with rulings from lower courts which may, or may not, apply nationally... depending on what SCOTUS rules when they finally get around to announcing their final decisions of the term. It's not only tedious but unnerving, frightening and based on their recent records, potentially (and probably) sickening. There's also a confirmation hearing for Judge Emil Bove, a person wholly unsuitable for a federal, lifetime appointment to the bench, this morning. And the orange wannabe dick-tator held [...]

Emptywheel Friday (Big Bad Breakup Edition) on The Nicole Sandler Show 6-6-25

Every Friday, Marcy Wheeler (emptywheel.net) and I get together to recap some of the big news of the week and, frankly, it's usually a depressing job. Today, though, we were able to have a few laughs at the expense of two utterly despicable characters - Donald Trump and Elon Musk. That's because of their very public, very childish big, beautiful breakup yesterday. But we also did the responsible thing and point out the questions that journalists should be asking instead of just exploiting the spectacle.. Most notably, the national security risks of the president having given Musk virtually [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 5-30-25

We made it through another week. It's Friday, when we are joined by Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to discuss some of the important news from the week. Due to scheduling issues, we recorded this episode on Thursday. As things tend to happen at warp speed in Dumpland, there's an update in at least one of the stories we covered. On Wednesday evening, a court we previously knew virtually nothing about -- the US Court of International Trade - ruled that Trump does not have the authority to impose sweeping tariffs, and issued a permanent injunction against most of the [...]

Tuesday Afternoon with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-25-25

      A huge part of surviving this assault on our nation from within is our ability to maintain our sanity. One lesson I've learned in the past five weeks is that some days are better than others. I look forward to those mornings when the usual pit in my stomach doesn't fully form and I'm able to make it through the day without dissolving into a trembling mess. So far, so good today. I like days like these because I'm more able to catch up on my reading and somehow digest the avalanche of surreal news that, on [...]

Lisa Graves on Grave Injustice on the Nicole Sandler Show – 6-26-24

  With the Extreme Court allegedly poised to hand down the final decisions for this term over the next two days, we're joined again by the Nicole Sandler Show's unofficial legal expert Lisa Graves. I had hoped that this morning's announcements would include more than the two they trickled out... and in a sense it did. Apparently accidentally, someone posted a draft of one of the still outstanding decisions-- this one in Idaho vs US. They quickly took it down, but not before Bloomberg News got it, converted it to pdf form and posted it online... Julian Assange is a [...]

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   Jack Rice was going to join us yesterday, but we got our time zones crossed. So he's here today, and he'll answer all of my questions about the three cases we've been discussing -- Kyle Rittenhouse, the three men who killed Ahmaud Arbery, and the federal civil case against nine organizers of the 2017 Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, VA. Of course, I'll have a few questions about the January 6 prosecutions, Steve Bannon, and the penalty for refusing to comply [...]
