Reminiscent of how some on the far left embraced Stalin in the 1930s, some on the far right are embracing Putin today. What goes around comes around. Restoring truth, sanity, and reason won't be easy. But we must try. https://t.co/Kr9OJv6Y47 via @commdiginews — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a really smart essay on what all nine Justices seem to have overlooked in the Fulton case about the Catholic adoption agency's anti-gay policy: It's the ban on delegating government power to churches, Larkin v. Grendel's Den (1982). https://t.co/SNU16OaiYw — PolitiTweet.org

Astonishing transformation! The arc of the universe doesn't always bend toward . . . justice! — PolitiTweet.org

Ah, what's in a name? A scorpion with any other name would sting as hard. I imagine Putin would relish being called Czar Putin, which would be closer to the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Very interesting alignment, with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson joining a famously right-leaning Trump appointee, Judge Neomi Rao, in granting extraordinary relief against FERC to NTE, owner of an electrical power plant, over the dissent of Obama appointee Judge Robert Wilkins. — PolitiTweet.org

Mutually assured cyber-destruction might be today's surest deterrent against either side cyber-smashing the other. Cyber is yesterday's thermonuclear . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Listening to this madman threaten the world with unthinkable consequences, by which he clearly means thermonuclear destruction, is chilling, but backing down in the face of Putin's bluster would be insane. Biden's leadership of NATO in these circumstances has been masterful. — PolitiTweet.org

“An unprovoked invasion of a sovereign state in the 21st century is madness. . . . We grieve  for the Ukrainians who will suffer devastation, bloodshed and death for nothing more than seeking to move closer to the democratic West.” https://t.co/ufv5aCSRLU — PolitiTweet.org

Repulsive barely scratches the surface of the guy with a huge Richard Nixon tattoo on his back and a Trump pardon in his pocket . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Makes one wonder yet again what secret deals Trump and Putin might've struck in Helsinki, with nobody in the room but the two of them and the translator nobody has subpoenaed -- thus far. — PolitiTweet.org

The Paul Manafort walking around with a 12/23/20 Trump pardon in his pocket? Yep, that one, pardoned along with Roger Stone. Loyalty to Trump rewarded. Disloyalty to America and democracies abroad -- no problem. That's the Trump creed tens of millions of Americans seem to buy — PolitiTweet.org

Brings to mind how Trump called himself a "stable genius" not so long ago. His standards for brilliance focus on brutality and cruelty — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not ready to buy this explanation, certainly not in a strong cause/effect form, but it's not wholly implausible: A nation that lets the leader of an attempted coup that nearly destroyed its democracy off the hook looks pretty weak to an autocrat like Putin — PolitiTweet.org

Good question. The standard answer is that it’s better to have the monster inside the tent tossing grenades than outside the tent exploding H-bombs, but the answer isn’t entirely satisfying — PolitiTweet.org

.@Kasparov63 gets it: strangling the economic lifeline to this Russian Frankenstein Monster and his tangled web of oligarchs to bring down his evil regime the way we brought down the USSR seems the way to go — PolitiTweet.org

Joined by fmr fed prosecutor @dennisaftergut, I explain how US Attorney McQuaid's prosecution memo https://t.co/cfOjI6kbzs removes any legit justification for AG Garland to hesitate in prosecuting the former president. It shows Garland what i's to dot, what t's to cross, and why: — PolitiTweet.org

Many of my own ancestors were slaughtered in Ukraine just for being Jews. To me, Putin’s invasion and his list of those to treat as traitors is personal. Trump’s presidency emboldened Putin in this direction, but it’s Putin all along who called the shots. https://t.co/GgSheE5N7P — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Dellinger was a giant of the law. Part of what made him that, beyond his brilliance, was his never cruel humor and his always genuine humility. Capturing his essence is this pitch perfect obit by Garrett Epps aka @Profepps: https://t.co/7eMP17MxrQ — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The judge has put in writing the precise rationale for the Justice Department breaking a tradition of not prosecuting a former president: His seeking to overturn an election and fomenting lawlessness are completely beyond prior American experience. https://t.co/BgpCpbTaDx — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's baseless and brazen attempt to keep the Jan. 6 select committee from obtaining his WH records has now been turned down by the Supreme Court of the United States. No surprise there, but with this Court one never knows until one knows . . . — PolitiTweet.org
