The judge who ordered Don McGahn to testify points out in her 118-page decision that Ronald Reagan, during the Iran-Contra affair, declined to assert executive privilege and even furnished relevant excerpts of his personal diaries to Congress for review. https://t.co/KyczVOY9TV — PolitiTweet.org

Overlooked: Judge Jackson blasts DOJ for arguing in the McGahn case that courts don’t have the jurisdiction to adjudicate disputes between the legislative and executive branches while the president’s lawyers simultaneously ask courts to block subpoenas. https://t.co/KyczVOY9TV — PolitiTweet.org

Jackson, nominated by Obama, has been a district court judge since 2013. Still only 49, she’s often mentioned in elite legal circles as a possible nominee for the Supreme Court by a future Democratic president, which could make her the first black woman to join the high court. — PolitiTweet.org
James Hohmann @jameshohmann
Trump has cottoned to describing his authority as “absolute.” Some variant of the word “absolute” appears 124 times in Judge Jackson’s opinion. She picks apart each of the Justice Department’s arguments with often elegant prose. https://t.co/KyczVOY9TV — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Ketanji Jackson accuses Trump of “emasculating” the House by trying to thwart its ability to seek redress from courts when subpoenas are ignored. In addition to George Orwell, she quotes Madison, Hamilton and de Tocqueville in her 118-page decision: https://t.co/KyczVOY9TV — PolitiTweet.org

“For a similar vantagepoint, see the circumstances described by George Orwell,” the judge writes in her 118-page decision ordering Don McGahn to testify before Congress. “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.” https://t.co/KyczVOY9TV — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Jackson invoked “Animal Farm” as she dismissed Bill Barr's position that Trump has the authority to make unilateral determinations regarding whether he & his senior aides, current & former, will respond to, or defy, subpoenas during investigations into his own wrongdoing. — PolitiTweet.org
James Hohmann @jameshohmann
In her ruling that Don McGahn must comply with the House subpoena, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson goes to great lengths to illustrate just how far out on a constitutional limb Trump and Bill Barr have crawled with their absolutist claims of executive power. https://t.co/KyczVOY9TV — PolitiTweet.org

Disdain for the rule of law has been a recurring feature of Trumpism. The ouster of Spencer as Navy secretary and the president's directive to let Gallagher keep his Trident pin are the latest examples. The 202 puts today's biggest story in context: https://t.co/ZOjDpdeItk. — PolitiTweet.org
James Hohmann @jameshohmann
What makes America great isn’t any arsenal. It’s moral authority. That’s the upshot of Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer’s "termination" letter. The messy circumstances should not overshadow another damning farewell letter from another Trump appointee. https://t.co/19MUEmsQRu — PolitiTweet.org

“Godfather II” is the Francis Ford Coppola movie that’s been in the news this month. But Fiona Hill’s epiphany that Gordon Sondland was running a “domestic political errand” for Trump conjured the climax of another Coppola classic: "Apocalypse Now." https://t.co/c7ahHG2Wdu — PolitiTweet.org
