This 14A3 challenge can’t be ignored. The court cannot duck it just because Congress hasn’t created a federal structure to implement the 14th Amendment’s mandatory disqualification of insurrectionists: each state is duty-bound by Art VI to abide by Sec. 3 https://t.co/RSOaRP9SbW — PolitiTweet.org

Post-inaugural “decertification” of electoral votes to “delegitimate” an incumbent president isn’t a thing. The only approximation is something called “seditious conspiracy,” a federal crime whose twin is treason. — PolitiTweet.org

If Garland had unlimited time, I’m sure he’d hold Trump accountable for seditious conspiracy and inciting and aiding a violent insurrection. But he doesn’t. The clock is ticking. The Nov. 2024 election is just a bit over 1,000 days from now. He must hurry https://t.co/39euZEvoZ5 — PolitiTweet.org

But, with all respect, @RepRaskin, these dudes were rotten before they ever darkened the halls of the Ivy Leagues. I don’t deserve blame for Ted Cruz (HLS ‘95) any more than I can claim credit for you (HLS ‘87) or Adam Schiff (HLS ‘85). You guys were largely formed before college — PolitiTweet.org

Only the insane fantasy that Miller, Bannon, and the rest of the Praetorian Guard were acting without permission from the head honcho can shield Trump from full criminal responsibility for the seditious conspiracy charged by the DC grand jury on Jan. 13. https://t.co/0tihxTqmeG — PolitiTweet.org

Merrick Garland promised to follow the facts & the law wherever they might lead. They are leading with ever-greater precision and force to an inner circle of seditious conspirators led by none other than Donald J. Trump. It’s time for Garland to keep his word. The nation awaits. — PolitiTweet.org

.@ThePlumLineGS has this exactly right. If ever a refusal to testify could count as criminal obstruction of justice, it would be this depraved performance by the treacherous, unAmerican, perfidious, self-seeking snake, #KevinMcCarthy — PolitiTweet.org

This article’s statement that the Court’s pair of “decisions give some idea of where the Court stands” is wildly understated. This dismal pair leaves no doubt where it stands: solidly hostile to federal regulation, however reasonable and badly needed. https://t.co/WpOLXaSjQc — PolitiTweet.org

If the bipartisan compromise on offer is a real prospect, I think it’s time to grab it rather than hoping Sinema and Manchin will do the right thing. That no longer seems a genuine option. https://t.co/ylQHBJqR3V — PolitiTweet.org

The 6 justices who held OSHA lacks power to address Covid because the virus isn’t limited to the workplace are blinded by their ideology. NO risks are “limited to the workplace” And, as the 3 dissenters wrote, workers have minimum control over risk in their workplace environments — PolitiTweet.org

This game-changing indictment for SEDITION spells the start of criminal accountability for all who tried to overthrow America to install a despot in power. But the ultimate plotters and planners must not be permitted to escape or they’ll do it again. https://t.co/H35fIZ9Vux — PolitiTweet.org

Sinema and Manchin are being outrageous, true, but why don’t people blame supposedly responsible Republican Senators like Collins, Murkowski, or Romney? Any two of those three could save the effort to carve voting rights out of the 60-vote requirement and help rescue democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Of the four seditionists who pleaded guilty, this cooperating defendant seems most likely to help DOJ uncover the guilt of those higher up on the poisonous food chain https://t.co/61ZXeeMRuq — PolitiTweet.org

If the White House Press Secretary knew about the forged certificates of the fake Trump electors, is it conceivable that Trump didn’t know? Hint: That’s a rhetorical question. — PolitiTweet.org

We don’t know if it was “pressure” or the accumulation of irrefutable and jaw-dropping detail as revealed in the Rhodes indictment that explains the green light Garland finally gave to the grand jury. It’s unwise to jump to conclusions about what makes Merrick Garland tick. — PolitiTweet.org
