Trump’s “mishandling” of classified material might’ve included trading our national secrets for personal advantage: recall how he recklessly compromised the identity of an Israeli secret agent to impress Lavrov and Kislyak right after firing Comey in 2017 https://t.co/sJhC1tOMXF — PolitiTweet.org

Very much worth listening to this distinguished former federal appeals court judge, Michael Luttig, whom President George W. Bush nearly appointed Chief Justice, who saved us from a coup in 2020, but who fears for our democracy’s survival in 2024: https://t.co/RogUU42QQE — PolitiTweet.org

I posed that very question to my students right after Trump started insisting he’d won both in 2016 and 2020 and would probably run again in 2024. Pretty much all of them replied that Trump would deny that the 22nd Amendment was a thing or refuse to answer a “trick hypothetical.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul is a total disgrace. Hard to fathom how he can sleep at night, with the deaths of innumerable Ukrainian children, women, and other innocent civilians traceable to his unprincipled obstruction of this crucial aid package — PolitiTweet.org

Eastman pretty clearly deserves to be indicted for several federal crimes in connection with attempted theft of the presidential election in Pennsylvania — PolitiTweet.org

Scary stuff. Any candidate for Governor who doesn’t promise to make his or her State’s popular vote for president in Nov 2024 decisive in certifying an electoral slate in Dec should be defeated on that ground alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course these members need to testify. They have nationally vital information and no legal basis to withhold it. Subpoenas are essential even if they plan to stonewall because they have something to hide and don’t care about our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s why many innocent women are certain to DIE despite “life of the mother” exceptions in the abortion bans that SCOTUS is about to green-light in the Dobbs case where the Feb 10 Alito draft leaked on May 3: https://t.co/JuAHMsFT2R — PolitiTweet.org

This should reassure those who think AG Garland is letting those at the top, including the former president, slip through the cracks and escape criminal accountability. I’m as eager as anyone to see Trump indicted, but I want to see an airtight case built https://t.co/sJhC1tOMXF — PolitiTweet.org

“In addition to McCarthy, the Democrat-led panel is subpoenaing Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Mo Brooks of Alabama, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania.” Good move! No reason those guys should be able to hide what they know https://t.co/Og20SD2i5y — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be talking with the great @NicolleDWallace on MSNBC during her 4 pm ET hour today. What about? With the speed at which events are unfolding, your guess is as good as mine. 🤔🤭😎😵‍💫🫠 — PolitiTweet.org

Such a relief that this humongous black hole, Sagittarius A*, is only 4 million times as massive as the sun. If it were 400 million times as massive, I’d consider moving to a nicer neighborhood.! https://t.co/Q1192fTlX3 — PolitiTweet.org

So many fancy criticisms have been lobbed at the leaked Alito opinion’s deep historical errors and subtle legal flaws that it’d be easy to overlook something basic: whoever wrote it thinks they’re really smart — but their work turns out to be just plain dumb from start to finish — PolitiTweet.org

How about adding a final victory for Ukraine 🇺🇦 over Russia 🇷🇺 while you’re at it, @kenji_yoshino? — PolitiTweet.org

And add that nobody ever threatened to pass a federal statute making slavery the law of the land in every state! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Exactly so. And Alito’s method is to insist on finding a tradition dating to the time when women had no rights at all, and to rely on the votes of two justices confirmed by erasing the testimony of women who credibly accused them of sex harassment or worse. See a theme here? — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re from a state where you get a chance to vote against one of these “forced birthers” this November, consider yourself lucky — and don’t squander the opportunity! — PolitiTweet.org

Seems that way to me. An additional motive for the leaker from within that camp could be to reduce the shock effect likely to accompany the formal announcement of the ruling — and to distract attention from its magnitude by providing a shiny object to speculate about. — PolitiTweet.org

“Eastman advised that a state legislature should concoct a fig leaf justification for declaring the correct Biden electors certified by the governor invalid and certifying Trump electors instead.” This is key to their plans for 2024: https://t.co/T6FDtJQcpk — PolitiTweet.org

This is a deft and judicious use of a court's power to obtain compliance with its orders for the production of documents. It wears the cloak of judicial modesty, leaving control in the contemnor's hands, but operates like a Sword of Damocles. Not quite Solomonic, but almost. . . — PolitiTweet.org

The Movement That Put Alito on the Court Isn’t Finished: "Under the logic of Alito’s opinion, unless you can prove that some aspect of your freedom was recognized in the deep reaches of [pre-Civil War] American history, it is subject to state coercion." https://t.co/luPwLaxWXX — PolitiTweet.org
