We have just heard one of the greatest speeches in American history. President Biden rose to the challenge. You cannot love your country only when you win. — PolitiTweet.org

I wish @JoyceWhiteVance was right when she said Garland was “also answering concerns that his focus is limited to events on Jan. 6, not to the ongoing effort to prevent the transfer of power.” No, I’m afraid he didn’t answer those concerns. Not at all. https://t.co/bYEh9JdrgN — PolitiTweet.org

“It is increasingly clear that investigating Trump is becoming the defining issue of his tenure.” And Garland’s speech today only raised the stakes because of what it left unsaid — especially about the attempted coup APART FROM THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6 https://t.co/4Nqd6HmIlH — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

.@gtconway3d makes the best possible case for interpreting Garland’s speech in a hopeful way. I pray he’s right. But hope and prayer aren’t substitutes for timely action. The evidence so far is that the needed action either won’t occur or won’t be timely https://t.co/9d5yysuETC — PolitiTweet.org

I very rarely disagree with my friend @walterdellinger. But his praise is premature. I’ll explain why on MSNBC tonight on @Lawrence O’Donnell. — PolitiTweet.org

On MSNBC around 10:20 pm ET, I’ll be discussing with @Lawrence Merrick Garland’s attempt to reassure us this afternoon. Spoiler alert: I’m not very reassured. I’ll explain why. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Sorry, I’m just not buying it, Garland’s focus on the Jan 6 attack conspicuously omits any hint of concern with the seditious conspiracy that was designed in Nov & Dec 2020 to pull off a bloodless coup. The attack was Plan B. Plan A violated 18 USC sec. 2384. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Exactly. McConnell is gaslighting us. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m with @amanpour on this. The clock is ticking. A stately pace, investigating only from the bottom up, just isn’t enough for so grave a threat to democracy’s very survival — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Attorney General Garland “eschewed words that have become common in public discussion of the assault, choosing not to call it an insurrection or act of sedition [or] domestic terrorism.” But words matter. So do silences. https://t.co/mr4i6Og08u — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Exactly right. @RepRaskin is a profile in courage and a tower of compassion and strength. — PolitiTweet.org

After today’s underwhelming speech by the Attorney General, President Biden’s more forthright remarks tomorrow, if Jen Psaki’s forecast is accurate, will be more than welcome. — PolitiTweet.org

“Trump provoked the attack on the counting of electoral votes because he hoped to rig an election. How fitting that he recently gave his ‘complete support’ to Hungary’s strongman, Viktor Orban.” https://t.co/hY5h8DU2Ps — PolitiTweet.org

I remember watching in horror as the events of January 6th unfolded. A year later, after reading @AdamSchiff’s #1 NYT bestselling book, I believe there is still hope that we can save our Democracy : https://t.co/enijvnZZIP — PolitiTweet.org

The real point is that “journalism” isn’t a magic wand you can use to block otherwise legitimate investigations. Not even the right to protect his sources entities Hannity to refuse to testify about his advice to Trump surrounding 1/6. There’s no applicable privilege or immunity — PolitiTweet.org

Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law in California, told Newsweek that as a matter of constitutional law, what Navarro is claiming is "nonsense." In this piece, I explain why I agree: https://t.co/sjWSAcQB1q — PolitiTweet.org

"If democracy requires independent-minded people who can reason well, autocracy requires the opposite, people who will obey orders about what to think as well as do." This is an extremely important essay. Please read, reread, then share it widely: https://t.co/T1K0o7pMei — PolitiTweet.org

The racist anti-Asian statements by Professor Amy Wax are so beyond the pale that she should be shunned by colleagues and students alike, no less than if she had urged the exclusion of Blacks, Jews, or Women from American life. https://t.co/E1VstnkMdr — PolitiTweet.org

J. Michael Luttig, a distinguished former federal appellate judge popular among conservatives, deserves great credit for saving our country from constitutional chaos and a crisis of the highest order. Here’s the little-known story of his key role: https://t.co/QzzrEV9FQo — PolitiTweet.org

“notwithstanding all the good arguments for reforming our electoral system, there is no legislative solution to the deepest problem threatening American democracy: the profound lack of trust in the legitimacy of the opposition.” https://t.co/oJPzn5NfSa — PolitiTweet.org
