From Mark Esper's book: "[Trump] asked me a couple of times about [Alexander] Vindman: 'When will the Army kick him out?' he would say." All honor to Alex Vindman, who did his duty when so many others did not. — PolitiTweet.org

"A person close to the court’s most conservative members said..." Seems that "the court's most conservative members" remain worried, as they were two weeks ago, that the other justices aren't solidly with them, and are trying to lock them in by leaks. https://t.co/OHkdfHsKlM — PolitiTweet.org

Thoughtful and informative discussion by @CathyYoung63 of the fear-mongering and wish-casting going on in light of the draft opinion overturning Roe. Whatever your view, this piece will inform you and help you avoid foolishness. https://t.co/tagMf9aTyC — PolitiTweet.org

Modern liberalism is susceptible to the temptations of performative radicalism on the one hand, or sophisticated fatalism on the other. This is no time to indulge in either! It is time (I say this on V-E Day) for American liberals to channel their inner FDR or Truman. — PolitiTweet.org

If it if weren't possible the five justices would fracture, that April 26 Wall Street Journal editorial wouldn't have been ginned up in the first place. So: Liberal law profs--this is the hand you've been dealt. Play it. "Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will." END — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

And if some of those criticisms start landing, and some of the justices start insisting on changes in the draft, couldn't that lead to fractures among the five that might be hard to resolve? Couldn't it lead some of the justices to default towards Roberts? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

And if the Alito opinion stands up to the critiques, if pro-overturning-Roe scholars write compelling defenses, then fine. Then it's a political struggle not a constitutional law one. But--and I say this as a critic of Roe--there are serious points to be made against Alito. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

I know this is an elite strategy, a long shot, and perhaps doomed. But why not try? Couldn't papers be produced, conferences and panels put together, that would make it kind of embarrassing for the three newer justices, who care about their reputation, to sign on to that opinion? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

For all the protests and denunciations, there's a lot of liberal fatalism in reaction to the Alito draft. Maybe the die is case--but maybe not. It's not clear Alito has five solid votes. Couldn't Barrett, Kavanaugh, or Gorsuch be affected by critiques by law profs and historians? — PolitiTweet.org

77 years ago today, speaking in Whitehall to the British people, Churchill said, "God bless you all. This is your victory! It is the victory of the cause of freedom in every land." Now when Ukraine is victorious, it will be the victory of the cause of freedom in every land. — PolitiTweet.org

Churchill 77 years ago today: "In the long years to come...the people of the world, wherever the bird of freedom chirps in human hearts, will look back to what we have done and they will say: ‘Do not despair, do not yield to violence and tyranny...'" Слава Україні! Героям слава! — PolitiTweet.org

Just came across a note I'd scribbled at the Freedom House dinner Wed. night, from the conversation on stage with @Liz_Cheney. I was impressed by Cheney's refusal to engage in both-sides-ism: "Wokeness is a problem, but wokeness is not as dangerous as torching the Constitution." — PolitiTweet.org
