The 11th Circuit’s scalpel-like approach is far more defensible than the 5th Circuit’s meat-cleaver take on how the 1st Amendment applies to government regulation of social media platforms. This might be one of the few areas SCOTUS will sort out sensibly. https://t.co/2Y6Ob3RwGg — PolitiTweet.org

“As the officers waited, not bothering to break down a barricaded door, the 19 lambs went to slaughter, trapped in a blood-soaked classroom with an 18-year-old madman. In a haunting tableau.” https://t.co/DiwORNezXx — PolitiTweet.org

“Nineteen officers loitered in the hall for as long as 78 minutes as children died. How can you justify keeping assault weapons on the open market when police officers don’t engage with them, even with kids’ lives on the line?” https://t.co/DiwORNezXx — PolitiTweet.org

It’s the 1st Amendment more than the 2nd that we need to navigate in order to restrict aggressive promotion of military-style firearms sales to teenagers. It’s doable but requires carefully tailored regulations 👇🏼 — PolitiTweet.org

“Daniel Defense is basically the poster child of egregious, aggressive marketing.” Even today’s SCt, which overprotects ads under the 1st Am, has upheld restrictions on ads pitching cigarette sales to kids. Let’s explore similar restrictions on gun ads. https://t.co/0MIRErVram — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a commonplace that the Constitution is not a suicide pact. I’d add, to those hiding their cowardice behind the Second Amendment, that the Constitution isn’t a license for mass murder either. — PolitiTweet.org

“The circumstances that make a mass murder of fourth graders possible are inherently political. The legal access to the weaponry involved is political.” https://t.co/wE7w71ujCN — PolitiTweet.org

“In a ten-day stretch, 44 people were murdered in mass shootings throughout the country—a carnival of violence that confirmed, among other things, the political cowardice of a large portion of our elected leadership.” https://t.co/wE7w71ujCN — PolitiTweet.org

“This experience should be a cautionary tale,” demonstrating that even seemingly mild variants can “deliver a fatal punch to a lot of people.” My takeaway: Stop pretending our COVID days are behind us. https://t.co/XxHxRqigOj — PolitiTweet.org

Good! The abysmal police failure to take on the shooter during those 77 minutes demands this DOJ inquiry. https://t.co/Xcf9SSLwWf — PolitiTweet.org

Hard to improve on this @robreiner observation. And please don’t tell me Reiner doesn’t know the meaning of “treason,” ok? He’s not using it literally. But nobody deserves the figurative label more than Trump, whose disloyalty to the United States — and to humanity — is total. — PolitiTweet.org

As the 80th anniversary of Skinner v. Oklahoma nears, Roe’s impending reversal could ultimately endanger the Skinner precedent striking down a state law sterilizing smalltime burglars & sparing white collar embezzlers. Skinner, like Roe, rested on unenumerated reproductive rights — PolitiTweet.org

This promises to be a landmark event, with a brilliant array of thinkers marking the 80th anniversary of Skinner v. Oklahoma, the REAL precedent underlying Roe and even Griswold — the decision linking liberty to equality in a double helix that Dobbs threatens to unravel — PolitiTweet.org

Interested in the origin story of the Second Amendment? Here’s one of the most revealing takes on the underlying history: https://t.co/A69JQBcSxS — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Red states “have made it a point of pride to defy federal gun laws and make it easier to carry guns despite the drumbeat of mass shootings — moves experts say have made those states less safe.” This is just sick. And SCOTUS is posed to make it worse. https://t.co/kELraviXPH — PolitiTweet.org

This article confuses (1) the absence of a federal constitutional duty to rescue, with (2) the absence of a common law duty under state law. State courts can and should change (2) by imposing such a duty on police in situations like #UvaldeschoolMassacre https://t.co/xkuN7rpYEf — PolitiTweet.org
