Records outsold CDs in 2020, for the 1st time since 1986, per the Recording Industry Ass’n of America. Last yr, sales spiked 61 % topping $1 billion for the 1st time in over 35 years. To put this into perspective, more than 1 one out of every 3 albums sold in 2021 were vinyl LPs. — PolitiTweet.org

“Rs have now lost the popular vote in 7 of the past 8 Presidential elections, but there is no indication that this appalling record has caused any serious consideration within the Party of the course correction” some urge.  This is serious dysfunction. https://t.co/c1MIPpPPrY — PolitiTweet.org

Hard not to cheer this development if it’s true. But I can’t help feeling sorry for the sailors whose lives seem likely to be lost in the service of their country, however misdirected and even evil the mission on which Putin sent them clearly is. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said that Republicans are taking the country backward — not to the 1950s, as some Democrats have argued, but “back to the 1850s.” She’s right. In some ways, they’re pushing us back to the 1750s, before there was an America. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the “useful ‘Matters’ [in Ben Franklin’s popular text] was a how-to on at-home abortion, made available to anyone who wanted a book that could teach the ABCs and 123s.” Maybe Justice ACB could ask Justice SA about that. Just a thought . . . https://t.co/aS2SNafMiD — PolitiTweet.org

“Alito, shocked—shocked—to discover so little in the law books of the eighteen-sixties guaranteeing a right to abortion, has missed the point: hardly anything in the law books of the eighteen-sixties guaranteed women anything.” https://t.co/sxluofcWBu — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s easy to let this news paralyze you with fear and disgust, but [the best] coping mechanism has always been to think about the next tactics we need to engage in the fight.” You’ve gotta read this brilliant example of how to respond constructively! https://t.co/ZFHEdz7My1 — PolitiTweet.org

“The goal is to create an event in which people who are outraged can gather together. Within that space, connections are made, new ideas are tested, and the infrastructure for political action gets built.” https://t.co/glAoV5Le6e — PolitiTweet.org

“The Alito draft whitewashes decades of progress on women’s rights.” It brushes off the equality arguments for Roe by reviving the claim that abortion restrictions just happen by accident to hurt women more than men. Their target is pregnancy, not sex! https://t.co/XZnh4WobkR — PolitiTweet.org

“The Supreme Court, [Senator Mike Lee] declared, ‘is not a political body.’ Yeah, right. 😵‍💫 “He might also have added that it has a right to privacy.” https://t.co/300JFcYkFd — PolitiTweet.org

“The death of Roe will intensify our national animus, turning red states and blue into mutually hostile legal territories. You think we hate each other now? Just wait until the new round of lawsuits start.” https://t.co/1iJbFrgWbE — PolitiTweet.org

Good. Let everyone see who supports full equality for women and who doesn’t, and make the human cost of the filibuster rule plainly visible! — PolitiTweet.org

No comment needed. Except that, after people finish laughing at the laughably misleading confirmation testimony of Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Thomas, maybe a little crying would be in order at the pain and devastation the five seem about to inflict on so many — PolitiTweet.org

And it's worth recalling that even the supposedly moderate Chief Justice wrote in his Obergefell dissent that those who had won a right to same-sex marriage that day shouldn't "celebrate the Constitution," which "had nothing to do with" their victory. — PolitiTweet.org

So glad to see @RepAdamSchiff join this cause. I've been there for some time now. The big argument against it is that it would hurt the Court's legitimacy. Now we can respond: What "legitimacy"? — PolitiTweet.org

That's a perfect entry for the CliffsNotes version of Alito's Aphorisms . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Indeed, it wasn't until 1920, with the 19th Amendment's passage, that the Constitution included a single word (in that case, the word "sex") that operated to level the male-dominated playing field. Even the 14th Amendment's text privileges each state's "male inhabitants" (Sec.2). — PolitiTweet.org

From your mouth to God's ear, @Amy_Siskind! Let's hope she's listening to your prediction and cares about your record as a prognosticator. . . — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Of course Alito’s history is factually wrong. But so what if the white slave-owning misogynists who saw women as less than full citizens lacking even a right to vote didn’t think abortion was a “right”? That kind of “originalism” is no guide to a living Constitution’s meaning. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Alito: “Our decision concerns abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.” That’s not how principled adjudication works. Either you’re being a political hack or your “only abortion” bit is BS. — PolitiTweet.org

“I do not see Democrats gaining sufficient grounds for them to either codify Roe into law or to make serious court reform a real possibility in the near future.” — @maya_sen The only way to prove Professor Sen wrong is to engage politically as never before https://t.co/lcPkdUbL7s — PolitiTweet.org
