It’s April, Fools, and Lizz and Marie hold it down in the Sleeper Cell while Moji is home sleeping off her vaccine!! This week we have all the axes to grind! The first abortion case SCOTUS has agreed to take will have the 6-3 (and not in a good way) court decide if the Kentucky AG-ro can bring cases to SCOTUS that lower courts have RULED are trash. Oh the floodgates... PLUS Two southwestern states are in a battle royal for the title “Most Medically Unnecessary and Cruel Legislatures” And we channel our anger over a MN State Supreme Court ruling that reversed a rape conviction with Kaarin Long and Lindsay J. Brice, two of the local policy and legal experts who are working tirelessly to change the unjust law that led to all of it.
