Rachel Cohen: 我认为法律体系的武器化是我决定从Skadden辞职的主要原因。我看到了特朗普策略的可预测性,并在我的律师事务所向特朗普政府妥协之前辞职。我认为特朗普政府对司法武器化存在误解,并任命支持武器化的人到委员会和权力职位。我们应该关注州和地方选举中的好消息,因为许多权利的斗争将在这里发生。 Michael Popok: 我认为Rachel Cohen看到了Skadden的潜在问题,并预见了其领导层的不作为。我不需要知道Skadden发生了什么,因为事情很明显。我问Rachel Cohen关于律师事务所代表右翼MAGA或政府开始消耗公益服务时间的问题。我还问了她关于Alina Haba被任命为新泽西州联邦检察官的可能性。

Shownotes Transcript

On the top ranked Legal AF podcast, Michael Popok is joined with guest anchor, attorney and activist Rachel Cohen, sitting in for KFA, who is also joining the Legal AF YouTube Channel as a regular contributor. Popok and Rachel take on: the different forms that defiance against this Administration can take including taking personal responsibility to actively participate in our participatory democracy; how to weaponize and turn the tables on Trump's attempt to weaponize the DOJ and whitewash Jan6; a big win for women's rights coming out of the Wisconsin Supreme Court; federal judges figuring out how to hold Trump accountable with new class actions and injunctions since the Supreme Court's "nationwide injunction" ruling, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.
