I don’t have enough bandwidth to store a list that long, I’m afraid. But this argument about Iqbal’s limited applicability belongs right at the top, however long the list gets. Eyebrow-dropping and jaw-raising at the same time. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a crime/fraud exception to attorney client privilege and, anyway, the privilege applies at most to specific disclosures; it’s never a basis to refuse to testify at all. So defying these subpoenas would be contempt of Congress. Open and shut case. https://t.co/JvcK6zUzsI — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been reported that, if Chief Justice Rehnquist had died a month later, with John Roberts already confirmed to replace Justice O'Connor in the interim, Samuel Alito probably would have been nominated as Chief Justice. The Court and country dodged quite a bullet on that one. — PolitiTweet.org

In one Supreme Court argument, Justice Alito complained that the statute being reviewed was so complex that whoever wrote it must be "somebody who takes pleasure tearing the wings off flies.” That bizarre image says more about Sam Alito than it does about the statute’s authors. — PolitiTweet.org

I almost never RT anything from The Onion, but in honor of this thing going around that you may’ve heard of (“Covid”), I’m making an exception for something I found pretty funny: https://t.co/TY1ZYR4zjJ — PolitiTweet.org

The culpability of the Murdochs for America’s uniquely low vaccination rate and thus for our ongoing Covid crisis is undeniable. A better-designed system of global justice would hold those sick fxxks criminally accountable, but today’s system barely exists. — PolitiTweet.org

The fake GOP electors deserve the 19 yrs of prison the AG of MI says they face. The seditionists who organized their 7-state crime spree deserve even more. Hopefully DOJ is moving on this. It should’ve moved on it months ago. This isn’t complicated. Don’t let anyone say it is. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a similar gender gap in who clerks for Supreme Court Justices, but it’s less severe, probably because corporate litigants who retain counsel to argue at the Court are more in thrall to gender stereotypes than are the Justices, 1/3 of whom are women https://t.co/pQxL4FCk9G — PolitiTweet.org

Gorsuch’s refusal to mask up on the bench even when asked by the Chief Justice to do so in order that the diabetic and hence immunocompromised Justice Sotomayor could attend in person shows just what kind of jerk Gorsuch is. I wish he weren’t an HLS alum. https://t.co/djLtpKWNtI — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a fascinating historical discovery without ideological valence that makes refreshing reading — especially for those who find themselves sleepless more often than they’d like: the lost habit of “biphasic sleep”: https://t.co/W9KZA6ZzKL — PolitiTweet.org

Trump certainly seems to have been in on the conspiracy to defraud the United States by casting fake electoral ballots — PolitiTweet.org

“From FB algorithms that learn how to stoke anger to facial recognition apps that don’t recognize people of color, AI frequently offers less of an improvement on the status quo than an insidious reinforcement of it.” Here’s an AI guru with an antidote: https://t.co/Mw6srat7wd — PolitiTweet.org

This is a classic fascist technique. Stirring racial and ethnic grievance, scapegoating minorities, fomenting violence. Fascism isn’t an ideology, it’s a method. And Trump uses it to a T. Or an F. Take your pick. T = F. — PolitiTweet.org

“Joe Biden needs to use his powers as president to show that opposing him comes with consequences, not unlike how President Johnson played hardball during negotiations on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Mr. Biden must now draw a line in the sand.” https://t.co/4yMQkA5nVK — PolitiTweet.org

“If DOJ is already investigating these crimes, it has done a bang-up job of keeping it secret. It has been a year since the phony certificates came to light, and the criminal case to be made is not complicated.” This superb essay lays it all out clearly: https://t.co/vq53vBTMXd — PolitiTweet.org

The Court’s “logic” was idiotic: “The fact that you can die in a fire in your apartment is not an argument against regulating fire hazards in factories or offices.” https://t.co/vPC6OJfmV5 https://t.co/vPC6OJfmV5 — PolitiTweet.org

“Six justices yielded to politics to disable an agency from carrying out its statutory mission to protect the health and safety of the American work force. That is where we are now. That’s how far the court has fallen.” — Linda Greenhouse https://t.co/IF0gwP8RlT — PolitiTweet.org

Exactly right, @kimwehle. The HuffPo piece by @svdate is seriously offbase and dangerously misleading. Doesn’t @HuffPost do fact-checking? Sure doesn’t seem like it. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh, how I wish you were right, @AshaRangappa! Being “duty-bound” to do something and actually doing it are identical only in the world of ideals, not in the world we actually inhabit. — PolitiTweet.org

NO “constitutional experts” say “only Congress can impose bans on specific insurrectionists from holding office.” I know ZERO experts who say that! At most, some (like me) say the disqualification must be ENFORCED to take effect. EVERY State must obey it. https://t.co/JJH1pDKSzp — PolitiTweet.org
