Episode 232 | Judicial Shadowboxing (feat. Ari Berman)

This week, a jury has ordered an insurrectionist to pay $500,000 for assaulting a police officer who died by suicide after the attack on the Capitol, a federal judge has denied a motion from a Capitol rioter who wanted his restitution back. 

DoJ coordinated with the Texas AG to kill the Texas Dream Act, Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News for defamation, and we have updates on Ken Chesebro and Rudy Giuliani.

Plus, we’re joined by Ari Berman, National Voting Rights Correspondent for Mother Jones, to discuss a voting rights case that SCOTUS punted to next term.
