Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes unpack the newly released federal ruling in the Tina Peters habeas case, walking viewers through what the judge actually decided, why the petition was dismissed, and how the Younger abstention doctrine blocks federal intervention while her state appeal is still active. They break down the court’s notes on sentencing irregularities, the trial judge’s bias, the First Amendment questions surrounding Tina’s imprisonment, and the broader pattern of political targeting in Colorado. Ashe explains the legal landscape, including how the state and federal courts interpret exhaustion, extraordinary-circumstances exceptions, and the boundaries of presidential pardon power, while Abbey adds perspective from outside Colorado’s system. The episode also touches on Tina’s reported treatment in prison, public reaction, and what this means for election-integrity advocates nationwide. A detailed, urgent, and deeply human discussion of a case that continues to shake Colorado politics.
