In a twist of fate that could weigh heavily on the 1/6 committee’s public hearings slated for June, the committee’s attempt to obtain RNC records rests with Judges Neomi Rao, Gregory Katsas and Justin Walker, Trump’s only 3 picks to the D.C. Circuit. 🙏 https://t.co/rGSqBoiF4n — PolitiTweet.org

The 3-justice dissent convincingly demonstrates the illogic, as well as the injustice, of the Thomas majority. Anyone wanna guess which 6 justices were in the majority? — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s my detailed explanation of how and why U.S. law authorizes the president to seize billions of dollars in frozen Russian sovereign assets for Ukraine’s use IMMEDIATELY — without any further action by Congress or the judiciary: https://t.co/OQyVMR7EuV — PolitiTweet.org

"A growing consensus has emerged among legal experts, scholars and those otherwise concerned with the health of our democracy, that Trump’s actions to overturn the election warrant criminal accountability." This detailed analysis explains that consensus: https://t.co/DGGZMDekYL — PolitiTweet.org

One sign of how radical the Alito anti-Roe analysis is: It expressly denies that discriminating against “pregnant persons” is sex discrimination! So not even treating the ERA as the 28th amendment would necessarily get the five in his majority to budge. https://t.co/mZFIQ50nIn — PolitiTweet.org

Distinguished historian David Sehat argues here that Roe’s reversal will “signal the dramatic expansion of religious authority into far-flung corners of American life.” I’m honored that Sehat quotes from my 1973 Harvard Law Review analysis of Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/8KM1kszGGa — PolitiTweet.org

“To quote Justice Antonin Scalia, ‘it takes real cheek’ for Justice Alito to insist that the draft opinion’s logic can be confined to abortion and does not implicate any other rights.” I made the same argument in my @guardian op-ed this morning. https://t.co/DHsSB5INud — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone tempted to vote for a Republican for Congress should know this: A GOP-controlled House in January 2023 would be poised to count fake slates of Trump presidential electors in December 2024. So think twice before voting R in any House race this November. DON’T RISK IT! — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s my op-ed refuting the big lies in the leaked Alito draft — and by its latest round of apologists — claiming that overruling Roe v Wade won’t be such a Big F-ing Deal and saying “nothing much to see here.” In fact, it’s even worse than advertised https://t.co/JoxeZqbyum — PolitiTweet.org

The only two things @adamliptak gets wrong here: 1. That this is a new & clever idea by the SB-8 lawyer: in fact, it’s old & obvious 2. That its appeal to Gorsuch will outweigh the eagerness of Thomas & Alito to end all affirmative action: maybe not. https://t.co/1ysFwiiJer — PolitiTweet.org

Of course it’s a biggie, @gtconway3d, but those who’re saying this amounts to “insurrection” disqualifying Trump from running for office under Sec 3 of 14th Am are undermining the REAL basis for deeming Trump an insurrectionist: Jan 6 & related ACTS, not 1st A protected SPEECH! — PolitiTweet.org

“In a country with the Second Amendment as a fundamental right, simply having more firearms cannot be a problem,” counsel for the gun advocates said. He’s wrong about that. Buffalo should wake people up. https://t.co/l4wJ4rG3tv — PolitiTweet.org

“The theory … that state legislatures hold absolute and exclusive power over presidential elections, including the appointment of electors to the Electoral College, has never been affirmed by a court decision. Most scholars say it has no merit.” I agree. https://t.co/obA6vacTLM — PolitiTweet.org

Some people have tried to minimize the magnitude of the sea change in human rights the Alito opinion would unleash by saying it’s no different from the way SCOTUS dismantled “liberty of contract” in 1937. My op-ed reply to that canard comes out Monday May 23 in the @guardian. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis was evidently flummoxed. “Brother, we are not clerics of the state,” the pontiff told Kirill, adding that “the patriarch cannot transform himself into Putin’s altar boy.” Atta Pope! Thank God for Pope Francis. https://t.co/YeDVrPgctf — PolitiTweet.org

When @RepAdamSchiff calls Trump the author & architect of the plot to overturn the election, that means the former POTUS shd be indicted for at least a half dozen grave federal felonies. You can take that to the bank. Will he be? Probably, but I’m not ready to say I’m confident. — PolitiTweet.org
