“If DOJ does not respond to such overt acts, it risks fostering the idea that presidents . . cannot be held accountable for behavior that undermines democracy.” This NYT piece bends over backwards to understate this risk. DOJ is abdicating its sworn duty. https://t.co/qBNDhxmlKx — PolitiTweet.org

“As embarrassing as these facts may be,” Just Gorsuch stressed, our “duty is to the rule of law & the search for truth. We should not let shame obscure our vision.” Joined by Justice Sotomayor, only his dissent got it right. Breyer’s majority was wrong.  https://t.co/cyB6mYWlUB — PolitiTweet.org

“The question that should terrify us is not just whether Putin will use nuclear weapons if the West does something, but also whether Putin would use them even if the West does nothing.” We must try to give Putin an exit strategy he’d find tolerable. https://t.co/2epnOPRTyF — PolitiTweet.org

If merely insisting that you’ve won despite all contrary evidence shields you from prosecution for trying to overturn the election, then no loser can EVER be put on trial for an attempted coup. That cannot be the law. But DOJ inaction can send exactly that perverse signal. So ACT — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Jackson comes with unassailable traditional credentials that rival those of the chief justice with whom she will serve. But she also comes with unique perspectives and experiences that are [massively] underrepresented . . . on the current court. https://t.co/bKIuoTe8bo — PolitiTweet.org

“Mr. Trump did not seem to care whether there was any evidence to support his claims of election fraud, and questioned why he should not push for even more extreme steps, such as replacing the acting attorney general, to challenge his loss.” https://t.co/UD2wA2i0wh — PolitiTweet.org

As a lawyer, “You start with the answer, ‘My client wins.’ Then you work backwards from there to support that answer with case law and arguments. As a judge you are neutral to begin with and you are trying to get it right,” Ketanji Brown Jackson said. https://t.co/mPKoWNZuny — PolitiTweet.org

Survivors of the Holocaust living in Kiev speak directly to the monstrous Putin, pleading with him to leave Ukraine in peace. Knowing that he will be unmoved by such pleas is heartbreaking. We must come to the aid of these innocent victims of Putin's barbaric war crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe Garland is making the mistake of concluding it’d be too hard to prove criminal intent because Trump really THOUGHT he had won. But that’d be wrong. At most, Trump couldn’t imagine legitimately losing to Biden. But being an egomaniac isn’t a defense a jury wd or shd accept. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the 221-page filing pointing to the strong evidence of Trump’s criminal conspiracy to defraud the US. To AG Garland: DOJ must take note and act if the rule of law is to remain in place. You said no one is above the law. Prove you meant it! https://t.co/crBzNMWTNF — PolitiTweet.org

The filing on behalf of the US House said: “The select committee has a good-faith basis for concluding that the president and members of his campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.” DOJ surely has the same, AG Garland. https://t.co/xnsJysgCpl — PolitiTweet.org

“Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov was sanctioned by the European Union on Monday. Two days later, one of his prized possessions—the 512-foot yacht Dilbar, valued at nearly $600 million—was seized by German authorities in the northern city of Hamburg.” https://t.co/YYrT7n8KlH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gillibrand said she told the chief justice to "have a conscience, wisdom and to continue to lead the court, because he is the only hope we have at the Supreme Court.” He and the future Justice Jackson — though she didn’t add that last part. https://t.co/heiFvUMkKH — PolitiTweet.org
