I’m with Gavin Newsom over Noah Feldman here. Feldman’s version of the rule of law amounts to unilateral disarmament. If Newsom is engaged in “a mockery of a mockery,” Feldman is letting SCOTUS get away with murder.  https://t.co/HSeJHOp8nQ — PolitiTweet.org

Proof of “Mr. Meadows’s deep involvement in the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election” is proof of seditious conspiracy punishable by 20 yrs in prison, 18 USC §2384, not just controversial political activity! https://t.co/VG9OLyiZon — PolitiTweet.org

No criminal conviction is needed to trigger disqualification under 14A3, but only adjudication by a judicial tribunal could ensure compliance with the ban on trial by legislature. See Art. I, Sec.9 (no Bills of Attainder). Cf. US v Lovett (1946). — PolitiTweet.org

“U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich ruled last week that an effort to interrupt the counting of the electoral votes can be a crime — even if no violence was contemplated.” Fits Trump to a “T.” https://t.co/TBP5vESlvB — PolitiTweet.org

“Did Donald Trump, through action or inaction, corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress’s proceedings?" Doing so is a serious federal crime. 18 USC 1505. — PolitiTweet.org

Tidbit from POLITICO: “WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. While he ultimately became Chief Justice after serving as president, Taft twice declined offers from THEODORE ROOSEVELT to appoint him to the Supreme Court, preferring to remain as the governor general of the Philippines.” Go figure. — PolitiTweet.org

“Multiple pieces of evidence have emerged pointing to a deliberate effort to overthrow our democracy. And it is former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows who is key to piecing them all together.” https://t.co/gIHASZcLMk — PolitiTweet.org

Not just unAmerican, @tedlieu, but unconstitutional. See First Amendment and equality facet of Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause. — PolitiTweet.org

“The report will render the various GOP whitewashing devices we’ve heard — Trump didn’t really want to overturn the election, Trump never countenanced the violence, the violence was no biggie anyway, and so on — much harder to sustain.” https://t.co/v8FTCpFk5B — PolitiTweet.org

As U.S. nears 800,000 virus deaths, 1 in 100 older Americans has died from the virus. For people younger than 65, that ratio is closer to 1 in 1,400. https://t.co/ku6B5cQgbO — PolitiTweet.org

“State supreme courts are playing a greater role than ever as mapmakers or traffic cops that could swing the fortunes of some 120 congressional seats in next year's midterms.” https://t.co/SkkmAG7NAo — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s my op-ed with Dennis Aftergut in @slate explaining why the purported window left open by the Court’s majority is entirely illusory, while the looming danger is all too real.  https://t.co/AbDZnC62at — PolitiTweet.org

The calls for Kanter’s and Kahn’s recusal are a “classic example of throwing goop at a wall in the hopes that something might stick.” The arguments against him “fail to stand on either the legal merits or on principle.” https://t.co/TwKZlMWMNZ — PolitiTweet.org

The requests for Khan’s and Kanter’s recusal are groundless and cynical ploys calculated to weaken Biden’s regulatory policies. Resist! https://t.co/dqVdHWDAOD — PolitiTweet.org

This savage account of Justice Stephen Breyer’s performance in the Mississippi abortion argument is, I’m afraid, entirely fair. It’s not too late for him to serve the country and the Constitution he loves by resigning now. Next summer it will be too late. https://t.co/4Zw1LCOfHE — PolitiTweet.org

“Nearly a year after Jan. 6, it’s tempting to conclude that the insurgency failed. It didn’t. At least, not yet. Our government is still under attack. The offensive is quieter now but no less menacing, eroding the government from within.” https://t.co/5Ox5OTcCDB — PolitiTweet.org

”The committee, led by Reps. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), is doing the right things. But most of its work is out of sight — which, for most Americans, means out of mind.” https://t.co/foZY0brQTG — PolitiTweet.org

This is indeed the outline of a criminal coup d’etat launched from within 👇🏼 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Let’s not confuse merely dumb lawyering with helping plan a coup. Stupidity + misplaced loyalty to a probably criminal and certainly crooked president who can’t admit losing doesn’t add up to criminal conspiracy https://t.co/bqhM97HQZJ — PolitiTweet.org

When lower court judges tell you they’ve not seen personal or political views influence their colleagues, they might be sincere if naive. After all, they are bound by Supreme Court precedent. But when Supreme Court Justices say it, hold onto your wallet. — PolitiTweet.org
