The next Trump coup will be staged from outside, but don’t count on its failure just because he won’t have the powers of an incumbent president. Coup 2.0 will be better prepared, funded, and organized. We’ll need to work like hell to combat it. https://t.co/BIYWdNJ3Qb — PolitiTweet.org

My discussion with Erin Burnett on CNN tonight about the Court’s abdication of its constitutional duty in the TX abortion case — and my reasons for concluding that the Court needs to be expanded if democracy is to be saved: https://t.co/DEgohVksEV — PolitiTweet.org

"Almost interfered"?? Mr. Attorney General, if the violent January 6 insurrection didn't constitute interference, albeit ultimately unsuccessful as a coup, then what would? Is this why you're moving so slowly to invoke the criminal charge of insurrection? Please rethink that now! — PolitiTweet.org

So the question for the barely Democratic Senate is: Are you willing to join in reaffirming the whole point of the American Revolution against the English Monarchy in 1776 -- or are you tossing in the towel and accepting one-man rule for our future? — PolitiTweet.org

Letting TX abortion clinics sue the few state officials that the authors of SB-8 failed to strip of enforcement roles (8-1) but keeping the ban itself in place (5-4) was the predictable minimum this broken Court could do. It was clearly far from enough. https://t.co/CNR8ddgSJh — PolitiTweet.org

The SCOTUS ruling re the Texas abortion ban made little news, but one overlooked point emerged: The CJ joined the 3 liberals in treating Roe & Casey as binding law and deeming SB-8 “unconstitutional.” He called abortion “a right protected under the Federal Constitution.” — PolitiTweet.org

https://t.co/uAU58JWky9 Letting abortion clinics sue to challenge SB-8 but leaving that outrageous six-week abortion ban remain in place -- just as it was clear this radically right-wing Court would do -- reaffirms my view that this Court needs major reform and needs it NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

“There should be an active criminal investigation by the Department of Justice, but if there isn’t—as appears to be the case—then it cuts towards [the committee] granting immunity” to compel testimony by those pleading the 5th Amendment to stay silent. https://t.co/j0HwRzfrZQ — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Patricia Millett wrote a unanimous 68-page opinion for the 3-judge Court of Appeals panel convincingly rejecting Trump’s effort to block the January 6 Committee from obtaining his presidential records. Will a Trump-packed S.Ct disagree? I doubt it. https://t.co/x1HPgIMJhS — PolitiTweet.org

This contempt finding and the ensuing criminal referral to DOJ by the House should lead to an indictment of Meadows with less delay than Bannon’s case involved. Meadows’ frivolous lawsuit against the Jan 6 Select Committee can’t be allowed to stand in the way. It’s a sideshow. — PolitiTweet.org

“If the assaults on democracy that occurred in America in 2021 had happened in another country, academics, diplomats and activists from around the world would be tearing their hair out over the nation’s apparent unraveling.” https://t.co/iiRjCBm7Vd — PolitiTweet.org

“There’s a difference between arbitrariness and a lack of legitimacy. The problem is when you have both.” As an application of Arrow’s Theorem, this piece is trivial. As a reminder of our Supreme Court’s shaky legitimacy, it’s worrying 👇🏼 https://t.co/bwoBSh7aFw — PolitiTweet.org

Meadows can’t assert executive privilege when neither POTUS nor the former president has invoked it. Any such privilege was waived by his tell-all book anyway. And his suit is also barred by the Speech or Debate Clause. https://t.co/uriVnxLpPw — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Meadows has no conceivable basis for this frivolous suit. Its obvious motive is to try getting Trump back on his good side after outraging the former President with his tell-all book https://t.co/sm13BEeiPS — PolitiTweet.org

“Until our parties are competing on a level playing field,” Steven Levitsky added, “I am going to insist that our institutions [like the Electoral College, the Senate, and SCOTUS] are a bigger problem for democracy than liberal elitism and ‘wokeness.’ ” https://t.co/gMmKL9qeUe — PolitiTweet.org
