There’s a serious “new challenge to Greene—a lawsuit, filed this morning, arguing that Greene is an insurrectionist. Were it to be successful, it would prevent Greene from running for office again.” https://t.co/oigXDRHn3K via @NewYorker — PolitiTweet.org

Humane and strategic at the same time: It was Russian mothers who pressured the Kremlin to give up the ghost against the mujahideen — PolitiTweet.org

DOJ is evidentiary weighing whether to follow OLC’s old opinions re absolute immunity of close presidential advisors or federal judicial precedent to the contrary. Mr. Attorney General: CADC & SCOTUS trump OLC. Please act accordingly! — PolitiTweet.org

“Brooks’s break with Trump raised the possibility that he might cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, providing information … about what Mr. Trump told his allies in Congress before, during and after the riot.” https://t.co/DK0wTZRmm2 — PolitiTweet.org

“Vladimir Putin has been making a case for genocide against Ukrainians for years. Have we been listening?” As Snyder says, Putin has specifically echoed Hitler’s views on Ukraine and its people, whom both wished to eradicate. https://t.co/5Lc2E6TljA — PolitiTweet.org

“A State’s understandable goal of avoiding a higher risk of great harm does not easily map onto the compelling interest/least restrictive means standards.” — an astute observation by Justice Kavanaugh in Ramirez v. Collier. Give credit where it’s due. https://t.co/sQAgohlp9Q — PolitiTweet.org

"The GOP's focus on judicial restraint is rich." All the more so in light of SCOTUS's unprecedented, unprincipled & unsigned 3/23 shadow docket reversal of the Wisc. Sup. Ct.'s districting decision, with Sotomayor & Kagan dissenting. https://t.co/wObZqjAh12 via @NBCNewsTHINK — PolitiTweet.org

An absurd lawsuit by an absurdly litigious former president who has only himself to blame for being compromised by Putin and thus looking like he is compromised by Russia — PolitiTweet.org

This bears directly on Trump's mental state in the attempted coup and in the insurrection, in case DOJ is wondering . . . — PolitiTweet.org

"The most disingenuous line of questioning came from Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., a Yale-educated lawyer, who seemed determined to fault Jackson for what he deemed unfairly low sentences in child pornography cases." Hawley is a disgrace. https://t.co/LcPEcs3kXM via @msnbc — PolitiTweet.org

The most moving piece I can recall hearing is Green Fields of France by Eric Bogle. It was about WWI but could’ve been about Ukraine or about the lives needlessly cut short by any pointless war: https://t.co/K5lb77uXNb — PolitiTweet.org

This lawless decision manifested a blatantly partisan double standard when set against Merrill v. Milligan from Alabama. Breyer should have joined Sotomayor and Kagan in dissent. The most charitable explanation I can offer is purely political. No, I won’t elaborate. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Pomerantz was protesting the failure to prosecute Trump for his state crimes. Even more egregious would be a failure to prosecute Trump for his grave federal crimes — crimes against the nation and against all of us. Over to you, Mr. Attorney General. — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson: “I would tell them . . . ‘Persevere.’” — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the remarkable speech by Senator Cory Booker praising Judge Jackson and celebrating her place in America’s path toward justice. You owe it to yourself to listen to it in its entirety👇🏼 — PolitiTweet.org

The poetic injustice of juxtaposing the KBJ hearings with this disgraceful SCOTUS holding that Wisconsin’s Supreme Court gave Black voters too much power by creating an additional state legislative district is sobering https://t.co/Sgvyhh0Izt — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Jackson was magnificent. No Supreme Court nominee in my lifetime has done as well. None. She will be a great Supreme Court Justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Cotton actually accused Judge Jackson of lying under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Staggering. It’s hard to say who was the most disgraceful: Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Marsha Blackburn, Lindsey Graham, or Tom Cotton. It’s easy to say who triumphed: Judge Jackson. — PolitiTweet.org

Corey Booker is just smashing through! He is mesmerizing. No wonder his magnificent remarks brought Ketanji Brown Jackson to tears of joy! — PolitiTweet.org

It was wise of Judge Jackson to end the doubt about whether, if confirmed to the Supreme Court, she would recuse herself from the case examining the role race can play in Harvard’s admissions policies because she serves on its governing board. She will. — PolitiTweet.org

This goes well beyond the recent personal assessment by President Biden: it is an official charge by the US Government that Russia’s military officers have committed war crimes. Despite the limited modes of accountability, this matters. https://t.co/aIKsfZNqAd — PolitiTweet.org

“With four apparent supporters on the Supreme Court, the independent state legislature doctrine is one vote away from upending more than 200 years of election law in America.” — @stevenmazie is right. And that doctrine could destroy democracy. https://t.co/JrH8vBE90J — PolitiTweet.org

Today KBJ is proving herself to be not just superb at showing grace and brilliance under pressure — and smart at avoiding saying too much — but a marvelous teacher at heart. She is finally getting a chance to show why she will be a truly great Supreme Court Justice. — PolitiTweet.org

KBJ’s answer to Senator Grassley’s question about “nationwide injunctions” — which he might have intended as a trap — was instead a splendid display of her legal command, intellectual clarity, and teaching acumen. A 10-strike. — PolitiTweet.org
