I’m Angie Coiro of In Deep Radio<\/em><\/a>, here on today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a> to give Brad and Des a breather. They’re back post-holiday!<\/p>\n

As I note in the show (audio link below<\/em>) you don’t have to agree with Nancy Pelosi’s tactics and goals — hell, you don’t even have to like her — to still doff your cap to her rhetorical skills. Her press conference this week gives a sentence-by-sentence master class in piercing your opponent with a smile, undermining his bombast with grace, and evincing humility while kicking him where it hurts. I walk you through her best-landed blows in today’s show. <\/p>\n

Then I go over Trump’s court losses this week, the specter of impeachment, and even the possibility of Trump pardoning himself with DAVID LEVINE<\/b><\/a> of UC Hastings Law. Spoiler about the self-pardon: no one knows how that would play out, because it’s never happened before.<\/p>\n

Putting this week’s slam on Harriet Tubman into perspective is ELIZABETH COBBS<\/b><\/a> of Stanford. Bottom line: she was a better person and patriot than he could ever pretend to be.<\/p>\n

Finally, I have some time with someone I deeply admire. KATE KENDALL<\/b> did powerhouse work at the head of the National Center for Lesbian Rights<\/a> for twenty-two years<\/i>. Now she’s heading up Pack the Courts<\/a>, formed to expand the number of SCOTUS seats to give justice a fighting chance.
