In new episode of #SistersInLaw, we broke down some of the 11(!) errors the judge identified in the prosecution of Jim Comey.. And that’s even before you get to the likely fatal flaws in the case on the merits.  You can listen here.

I visited the Gettysburg National Battlefield and Cemetery while I was in central Pennsylvania for last night’s book talk at Millersville University. This site, where 55,000 Americans died, is a moving reminder of the value of peaceful protest.  Next stop, No Kings rally!
