The Supreme Court dismissed an appeal filed by Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake yesterday and they did so without comment. It was a complete brush off her lawsuit challenging the use of electronic voting machines in Arizona. Lake had questioned whether the machines gave a fair and accurate vote count. She and her team provided no evidence that the machines had ever been hacked or that she had ever been harmed by any miscount - only that it could happen in the future. Two lower courts dismissed the suit, before the Supreme Court did the same.
Over at the Trump hush money trial, opening arguments centered on election corruption and influencing. Prosecutors said Trump “orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election”. The defense said “there’s nothing wrong with trying to influence an election – it’s called democracy”. Outside the courthouse, Trump tested the limits of his gag order calling Michael Cohen, his former attorney, a liar. Cohen will likely be a witness in this case and Trump has been ordered not to attack jurors or witnesses. Contempt of court anyone?
Pulitzer prize winning journalist and author David Cay Johnston will swing by to talk about it all.
We are so excited to welcome Mark Farrell to the show. The San Francisco mayoral candidate is a moderate Democrat. He has served as a Supervisor in San Francisco and as mayor following the death of Ed Lee. Farrell says people don’t feel safe in the city and the once thriving downtown business area has collapsed. With his background in law and investment banking, he may have what it takes to bring SF back. We will ask him how he plans to do it.
Actor John Malina will join us. You may know him from the West Wing, Scandal, Big Bang Theory and more. He comes bearing advice for Tony and his duck situation.
