A little good news and a sneak peak! If you enjoyed tonight's conversation, or if you're feeling sad about missing it, there's more coming! Next Wednesday, October 16, at 8 p.m. ET, Judd Legum, author of the Popular Information Substack, and I will be holding a video chat on the Substack App about issues facing the country in the first presidential election after January 6. More details coming, but for now, sign up for the Substack App if you don't already have it and start using it! Easy directions for joining us will follow early next week.

Joyce, thank you for your continued work in communicating the real meaning behind so much of what we read and hear. I was not able to listen today, but I’ve already put next week’s event on my calendar. Is there any way for those of us who missed today to access the panel discussion and watch or hear it after the fact?

Oh, good! I saw too late last eve’s panel you were on but hope to be right on time for what you have coming up Oct. 16th pm. Also - I am wondering if you (and possibly the Sisters-In-Law as well) would like to collaborate at some point via either your podcast or Civil Discourse with a ‘live time artist’, Liza Donnelly whose Substack is Seeing Things. She’s well established, in NYC, and on Substack - that may add a note of interest for both of you as ‘creatives’ but each so distinctly in your own way. I’m in Austin Tx which she also comes to a few times annually - and was chatting with her re what we like so much collectively and individually re Substack. I told her about you, and since you two had not met - maybe it would be good timing to do so. Joyce, If you are interested in what possibility that may hold either for Civil Discourse, or for Sisters-in-Law, I’d be glad to bridge that intro. -Sherry Lowry

This is some of great interest to me since this legal issues will most certainly follow Election Day.

Trump and his colleagues abuse the legal system right and left. Especially Trump. He learned his smarmy ways at the feet of the master, Roy Cohn, back in the day. He's never stopped. And his favorite tactic, aside from filing aggressively is, when the tide has turned, delay, delay, delay. It's abuse.

Roy Cohn was an aggressive homosexual who knowingly spread AIDS. A real clASS act.

What do you mean by"aggressive"?

I'm adding "aggressive homesexual" to my dating profile 😂

I think we all should, especially if we're mild mannered white heterosexuals.

Any chance there is video of this?

I believe there will be, but have no confirmation

Apparently none of the previous people posting concerning Roy Cohn ever read about him. After you do, you will understand the term, “aggressive homosexual.”

I'm happy to wait until you explain it to me

You will be waiting a very long time, Mimi. Too lazy to look up Roy Cohn?

Looking forward to the orange traitor meeting his maker. I hope his fatal heart attack happens because he lost the election in a landslide.

Pretty sad that this is something I think about a contender for the presidency in America.

But wait! It requires a Passcode! And there wasn't one in the email resulting in:

"Enter the passcode to watch "Litigation Debrief: The Role of Courts in this Election"

"This field is required."

(Tried leaving the passcode field blank.)

I read Democracy Docket daily to keep up with the many lawsuits the GOP loses in their fight to suppress the vote and the many lawsuits won by voting rights groups. It's very informative and is keeping me sane during this election season!

Marc Elias is a powerhouse!

Joyce Vance-- We are together in this! -- "There is a lot of litigation ahead."

Both an understatement and a full-employment mandate for lawyers.

Joyce, the four of you were on fire tonight. Thank you, I learned a lot. I hope you can make the recording available to your subscribers.

It was excellent! I really needed the "we're in it for the long haul" message. I'm so glad we have leaders like these willing and more than capable to guide us through the next decade, whatever it brings.

I am in the Central European Time Zone and this is too late for me. I will be sleeping. I hope there is a subscriber link to this if you record it. It sounds very interesting to me.

The GOP has been captured by fraudsters & power by any means authoritarians. The projection & propaganda never stops.

Trump & Vance can’t handle the truth threatening fact checkers, whistleblowers & truth tellers with retribution. https://wapo.st/3XXgHPt

Trump & MAGA whine about booming Bidenomics: 98% of jobs created since 1989 were created during Democratic administrations. Republicans have lost jobs while ballooning the deficit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbPBuk5QoV8

Trump’s economic plan would increase the nation’s debt by more than twice the amount of Harris’s plan according to a nonpartisan group that advocates for smaller government deficits.

Thanks, Joyce. Just signed up and looking forward to listening in.
