10. To be coherent, the standard needs to consider whether the statement has any relationship to the job of the president. And by any standard, smearing a woman who says you raped her in the 90s has nothing to do with the job of being president https://t.co/ZGWkGsBS4W — PolitiTweet.org

9. The standard the DOJ is creating would immunize everything a president said to the press because a president has 300M+ constituents and everything about their life is of "concern" to someone The DOJ is doing exactly what it says it should not do https://t.co/ZGWkGsBS4W — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. The DOJ also makes clear it is not arguing that Trump would be immunized from anything he said. But, citing Ballenger, argues the rape allegation was a matter of "concern" to Trump's constituents. This is the fatal flaw in the DOJ's argument https://t.co/ZGWkGsBS4W — PolitiTweet.org

7. The Ballenger court realized allowing a Congressman to say whatever they wanted to press & be immunized was a bad idea So it said its ruling was limited to the facts of the case Specifically, his separation was a matter of "concern" to constiutents https://t.co/ZGWkGsBS4W — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. In Ballenger, the court found that the Congressman was acting with the scope of his employment because answering questions from the media is part of a Congressman's job. But here is where everything breaks down for the DOJ's argument https://t.co/ZGWkGsBS4W — PolitiTweet.org

5. The DOJ relies on a case called Ballenger which involves a Congressman who said he was separating from his wife because she was uncomfortable living across the street from @CAIRNational, which he claimed funded terrorists CAIR sued for defamation. https://t.co/ZGWkGsBS4W — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. The DOJ tries to avoid defending what Trump said (which it calls "crude and disrespectful") and focuses on what Trump was doing, which is interacting with the media. They say interacting with the media is part of the president's job https://t.co/ZGWkGsBS4W — PolitiTweet.org

3. Later Trump said he would never have raped Carroll because she is not his "type." The DOJ's main argument is that when Trump said all this HE WAS ACTING WITHIN THE SCOPE OF HIS OFFICE AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES https://t.co/ZGWkGsBS4W — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. First, let's talk about what Trump said. After E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a dressing room in the mid-90s, Trump claimed he never met Carroll, accused her of lying to sell books, & suggested she was conspiring w/the Democratic Party https://t.co/ZGWkGsBS4W https://t.co/pEDj3rJSuK — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. The DOJ has decided to continue defending Trump in a case involving his attacks on a woman, E Jean Carroll, who he allegedly raped. There are lots of VERY SERIOUS LAWYERS defending the DOJ. But that doesn't mean the DOJ is right. Let's dive in. https://t.co/ZGWkGsBS4W https://t.co/nkYmVFezz7 — PolitiTweet.org

4. Notably, the @USChamber, in its April talking point, insists that federal and state election changes should be bipartisan. But while the Chamber is lobbying against federal bills, it has REMAINED SILENT on Texas' SB7. https://t.co/Ucyz7rXwgD — PolitiTweet.org

3. The @USChamber is engaged in an aggressive lobbying campaign against federal action to protect voting rights that is financed by the same corporations who say they support voting rights. https://t.co/6XeXmjcBDg — PolitiTweet.org

@USChamber 2. April talking points from the @USChamber: "Changes enacted on a partisan basis are the most likely to...undermine public confidence" Manchin this week: "[P]artisan policymaking won’t instill confidence in our democracy — it will destroy it" https://t.co/Ucyz7rXwgD — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. Manchin's rationale for opposing the For The People Act, which would thwart state efforts to undermine voting rights, underscores the central role of the @USChamber. Manchin is essentially quoting the Chamber's talking points https://t.co/Ucyz7rXwgD — PolitiTweet.org

The White House says it "was not consulted by DOJ on the decision to file this brief or its contents" But what about AG Merrick Garland? What does he have to say about this? Does he believe that defaming alleged rape victims is part of a president's job? — PolitiTweet.org

Wow. The Biden Justice Department is spending taxpayer money to defend Trump, arguing that presidents should be immunized against lawsuits accusing them of defaming rape victims. https://t.co/mDOMib754K — PolitiTweet.org
