@AliensArentHere I think most people expect that conservative Democrats would vote YES. I was highlighting that even many Democrats regarded as liberal supported this. — PolitiTweet.org

@JulieWe63754893 Are you under. the impression that foreign nationals can just decide they're going to legally live and work and study in the US whenever they want? They need a legal basis for doing that. The spouses of foreign nationals get Green Cards, but DOMA barred that for gay couples. — PolitiTweet.org

@canuckjc How do I side with Ted Cruz? — PolitiTweet.org

@Imlay901 The vote was 85-14. Biden voted for it, as did most Dems. It was signed into law by Bill Clinton. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

LOL. As several pointed out, I missed Biden. He was also a YES vote on DOMA. https://t.co/iluQypc5Bq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Seeing lots of ignorance in replies. To explain: Americans who marry a foreign national are entitled to a Green Card so they can live together in the US. DOMA barred that for same-sex couples, forcing them to separate, live abroad, or live together illegally in one's country. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattHawryliw Because Americans who marry someone of the opposite sex are entitled to a Green Card for their foreign spouse. DOMA prevented my husband from getting a Green Card, leaving us with no way to live together in the US, forcing us either to separate, live abroad, or live illegally. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Even worse was the provision permitting states that barred same-sex marriages from ignoring -- treating as nullities -- the legal marriages of same-sex couples from other states. Yet polling just a few years later showed broad support among Dems and GOP for full equal rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The bill's purpose was to prohibit the issuance of any federal spousal rights to same-sex couples (including tax and pension benefits, social security, and immigration rights). The latter separated thousands of Americans from their foreign spouses. Look at some of the YES votes: https://t.co/iY5K4On8v8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Defense of Marriage Act, declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2013, was a pernicious law. It's what barred me from living with my husband in the US for a full decade. People forget how bipartisan it was: signed into law by Clinton, it passed the Senate by 85-14. https://t.co/bO0cqXzokl — PolitiTweet.org

@hairhofla That's extremely demented, and shows how little value liberals like you assign to the lives of foreigners. But since you regard only American lives as valuable, how about the tens of thousands who died in the wars Frum and Kristol lied the country into? — PolitiTweet.org

@hairhofla Who do you think has caused more harm in this world? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bescofield @daviddurbin I generally think it's a good idea for people to wait for an interview to occur before forming opinions about how the interview was conducted. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Democrats keep promoting the candidacy of people they claim to believe are actual Nazis bent on overthrowing American democracy and replacing it with white nationalistic dictatorship and, with that conduct, are close to putting such people in power. https://t.co/WDAJT9sMrY https://t.co/Zy115HMNIs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bescofield @daviddurbin Yes, if there were a smart, honest and thought-provoking documentary about George W. Bush, and I was asked to appear at the debut of that film to interview him, I would be on the next plane to get there before even signing the contract. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JenniferLSimon1 This is not me apologizing. You don't have to worry about that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@aha272727 I just find it fascinating that the liberal journalists who count neocons, war criminals and CIA ghouls as their colleagues, and the liberals who consume the media outlets that employ them, believe they can credibly dictate who is and isn't off-limits from being interviewed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm considering making up for the harm done by interviewing Alex Jones by following it up with interviews of Bill Kristol and David Frum - two of the key propagandists who sold Americans the invasion of Iraq - provided CNN, MSNBC and The Atlantic will give them time off to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bescofield @daviddurbin I would absolutely jump at the chance to interview George W. Bush, obviously. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HerderGreg @TiloJung Because I think it's a well-made film worth seeing, and because journalists typically promote the interviews and appearances they do, especially independent journalists who don't have large corporations they work for who do that promotion for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@danhalcyon The damage Bill Kristol has done to the world by being one of the primary advocates and architects of the propaganda for the Iraq War, to say nothing of all the other wars he's helped sell, is vastly greater than anything Jones has done, yet he's routinely interviewed weekly. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@daviddurbin Yes, I was asked to attend the film's debut, speak about the film, and interview Jones. I said yes both because I found the filmmaker's last documentary outstanding, and believe this film is also thought-provoking and well produced. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@aaronjmate @adamdavidson Oh yeah, he's one of the more hysterical and conspiratorial #Resistance cartoons in media, which is obviously saying something. There's no Russiagate fraud or Trump-the-dictator tale that he didn't completely fall for without questioning. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@daviddurbin A film has just been made about Alex Jones. The reason is he has a giant audience of people who listen to him. That's the same reason he's been interviewed by countless major media outlets around the world, from NBC to BBC. The liberal obsession with "platforming" is simply dumb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@gregwells3 I don't think and didn't imply that he censored me or tried to censor me, you fucking imbecile. I was pointing out that journalists have become the leading advocates of internet censorship as a way of keeping the public captive to their content that nobody trusts any longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Employees of media corporations which employ the propagandists who lied the country into the war in Iraq, whose newsrooms are filled with trained liars from the US Security State, and who routinely feature war criminals, have strong opinions on who can and cannot be interviewed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@danhalcyon Is Bill Kristol, Dick Cheney, and Joy Reid also on this list of do-not-engage-crazy who journalists must not interview? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Arbitrary_user @adammpark @adamdavidson What about Bill Kristol and Dick Cheney and David Frum and John Brennan. Are they OK for journalists to interview? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RealWingsBones @adamdavidson You're evidently unable to follow your own advice. But no matter how much you wish it weren't true, the impact and reach of my journalism only grows, in large part because nobody trusts corporate media. — PolitiTweet.org
