Biden Plans to Give the Courts a Much-Needed Kick in the Pants

April 01, 2021 10:10 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MB

President Joe Biden's recent slate of judicial nominees are more than a breath of fresh air—they represent a serious step forward in building a more just legal system. And we need good judges now more than ever because state legislatures around the country are trying to pass some terrible laws. For example, an alarming new bill in Arkansas could strip trans kids of necessary health care. Meanwhile, the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron has more anti-choice shenanigans up his sleeve. ...

Arkansas Woos Amy Coney Barrett With a Very Bad Ban

March 11, 2021 11:10 - 26 minutes - 43 MB

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed a bill Tuesday that would ban all abortions in the state except those deemed a “medical emergency.” If it takes effect in August as planned, it'll be the most restrictive abortion ban in the country. Fortunately, legal challenges should be on the way. But is that what they want? In better news, the COVID-19 stimulus package has a lot of health-care goodies in it, and the Biden administration is out to undo Betsy DeVos' damage to campus sexual assault prot...

How to Bankrupt the Proud Boys

February 18, 2021 18:01 - 36 minutes - 34 MB

The impeachment trial was going so well! Alas, the Democrats managed to tie themselves into knots and fumble away the narrative. But all is not lost, thanks to a creative lawsuit that invokes the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. Meanwhile, the Biden administration took some bold steps to rescue the Affordable Care Act from a Supreme Court disaster while 30 (!) states are gearing up to attack abortion rights and trans kids. So it's all a bit of a roller-coaster. On this episode of Boom! Lawyered, Im...

February 04, 2021 11:10 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MB

This week, the nation reckoned with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's terrifying account of the insurrection at the Capitol.

Nuke the Filibuster?

January 28, 2021 11:10 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MB

January 21, 2021 21:01 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MB

On day one of his White House term, President Joe Biden made big moves to protect LGBTQ and undocumented folks, called out the dangers of white supremacy, and more. It was a helluva start!

Hunting Nazis with the New Department of Justice

January 14, 2021 11:10 - 23 minutes - 22 MB

Last week, President-elect Joe Biden announced his key nominees for the Department of Justice. And those nominees—Merrick Garland, Vanita Gupta, and Kristen Clarke—talked a big game about dismantling fascism and advancing progressive justice. It was exciting stuff! But who exactly are these folks? Can we trust them to back up their words with actions? And what can we expect from them regarding the safety of abortion clinics, providers, and patients? Our Boom!

Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy recap the third day of Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation hearing.
