This argument is admittedly not based on “controlling precedent” or on constitutional text. In fact, it conflicts with the Elections Clause, whose text gives states power in the first instance to prescribe how a district’s representatives are chosen. https://t.co/zqhxn6IDX1 — PolitiTweet.org

.@GlobeOpinion says “there’s no rule that requires Supreme Court justices to recuse themselves from cases that present a conflict of interest.” Wrong! 28 U.S. Code § 455 expressly REQUIRES them to do so. What’s lacking is an enforcement mechanism. https://t.co/O1pG62gK2I — PolitiTweet.org

If trees could talk, they’d thank Biden. Oh, wait: They can. Think Suzanne Simard’s great work, “Finding the Mother Tree.” https://t.co/ZNAcDlndnL — PolitiTweet.org

Contrary to this NYT article, there’s nothing sneaky or even “obscure” about the strategy of letting a case become moot and then asking the appeals court to wipe out — “vacate” — the decision appealed from under US v. Munsingwear. It’s quite standard. https://t.co/B1HgYweIBf — PolitiTweet.org

The 1/6 Committee just filed this devastating motion for summary judgment in Mark Meadows’ meritless lawsuit against the Committee, its members, and the House Speaker. I believe the motion will be granted and that the judgment will be upheld on appeal. https://t.co/f83yrD3fsB — PolitiTweet.org

This reckless former president is actually bragging about his readiness to sacrifice the security of NATO and our mutual survival to his hero Vladimir Putin. No, it wouldn’t be “treason” as such. But it’s treason’s twin brother. https://t.co/IhR3RHjy5c — PolitiTweet.org

“Now it turns out that until last week, Meadows was simultaneously registered to vote in three different states — North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina — according to state records obtained by The Fact Checker.” The Hypocrite in Chief! https://t.co/xZqrtsdvA3 — PolitiTweet.org

Only if McCarthy were named as a coconspirator, indicted or otherwise, would his report of Trump’s admission be admissible under an exception to the hearsay rule; even then, Trump could invoke the right to cross-examine  McCarthy. https://t.co/lBT1l3fAj3 — PolitiTweet.org

GOP uses sexual grooming in assault on Democrats - The Washington Post. Unbelievably, Twitter blocks efforts to share the state senator’s great speech!!! https://t.co/kLSOFYOH6A — PolitiTweet.org

As President Macron (sorry for calling him PM) said to LePen, “ when you talk to Vladimir Putin, you’re talking to your banker.” Touche! — PolitiTweet.org

“At the root of [Senator Mike] Lee’s betrayal [of his oath to the Constitution] was his determination to enlist state legislatures absent evidence of fraud to throw sand in the wheels of the electoral college process or overrule the choice of voters.” https://t.co/X3xA0pnrZ8 — PolitiTweet.org

France’s PM Emmanuel Macron just squashed Marine LePen in a televised debate, tying her tightly to Putin’s pockets by showing that she’s yet to repay the huge loans Russian banks extended to her in 2015. He has her on the ropes in the upcoming French election. Go Emmanuel! — PolitiTweet.org

In Vega v. Tikoh, SCOTUS should hold that Miranda warnings, although constitutionally based, aren’t a constitutional “right.” The Government will & should win. I don’t usually disagree with the Court’s liberal wing, but here the dissent will be mistaken. https://t.co/1Rsid4Ixpa — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Jones’ lawyer’s “discussions with the Justice Department suggest that the investigation into the postelection period could be gathering momentum.” Ditto the arrival of top prosecutor Thomas Windom. No, AG Merrick Garland is NOT asleep at the switch. https://t.co/Do6brsNfoS — PolitiTweet.org

So far, this has been the story of Trump’s life. He has never been held accountable for anything. I believe that will change. — PolitiTweet.org

A DOJ appeal makes good sense. All but the most ideology-driven panel would reverse the clearly erroneous district court decision, and the case won’t be legally moot even if CDC temporarily lifts its mask mandate in early May because the need could recur. https://t.co/QXVb0r87LS — PolitiTweet.org

Well “into the conflict, there have been no significant cyberattacks beyond the usual background noise of daily Russian cyberactivity in American networks, including ransomware attacks.” But that chberactivity probably suffices to constitute an “attack.” https://t.co/lX8bQhLulH — PolitiTweet.org

Why? Because Putin is a butcher, a war criminal, and a pitiless monster with boundless ambition and a lust for power and a yearning for empire. — PolitiTweet.org

“The mask mandate — a standard public health measure — presents an easier question” than those on which SCOTUS ruled against the CDC. Easier for any qualified judge trying to follow the law, that is. But not for the federal judge in this case! https://t.co/EiuUURquy1 — PolitiTweet.org

Once you’ve lied about the big things like whether the presidential election was stolen, lying about the little things like when you first learned about a hair-brained plan is a no-brainer. — PolitiTweet.org
