“Only [at the very end of their brief] do the Senators seem to remember that they want . . . Roe as well as Casey [to] be overruled--despite the fact that their argument doesn't address Roe's viability line at all.” https://t.co/KTcxJFZl0t — PolitiTweet.org

“The right to contraception, to marry, to educate one's children as one wishes, to refuse unwanted medical treatment, to resist forced abortion, and many more aren’t found anywhere in the constitutional text” either. So that’s no basis for overruling Roe. https://t.co/KTcxJFZl0t — PolitiTweet.org

“The Hawley/Cruz/Lee brief states in four separate places some version of the claim that Casey "abandon[ed] the Roe v. Wade framework altogether," even though that's demonstrably false, because, to repeat, Casey reaffirmed Roe's viability line.” https://t.co/KTcxJFZl0t — PolitiTweet.org

“Perhaps Eastman and his co-counsel were simply too busy plotting their next effort to overthrow American democracy to give their amicus brief in Dobbs their full attention.” Whatever the reason, Eastman’s brief is, to put it politely, incompetent.  https://t.co/KTcxJFZl0t — PolitiTweet.org

Hope the trial court can control the antics of Bannon’s defense attorneys without creating an appeal issue: https://t.co/UzkVFAIzMQ via @politico — PolitiTweet.org

I share this very serious concern. @RepAdamSchiff is right that the Attorney General seems to be pulling his punches with respect to the former president when anyone else doing what Trump did to Raffensperger would be indicted by now. That’s not what rule of law calls for. — PolitiTweet.org

In this dark and foreboding piece, Ruth Marcus manages to understate the current Court’s radically rightward trajectory while voicing justifiable alarm at the damage the Six Reactionaries are posed to do to democracy, civil liberties, equality, and justice https://t.co/zAjTwXiFUQ — PolitiTweet.org

“Burning them is odd. You would think that objects of such power would give off extraordinary heat or light, or explode, but they just burn as though unaware of what they are made of.” Here’s a poetic paean to the power of books: https://t.co/uYIfZcY5nc — PolitiTweet.org

Dear friends, I can’t recommend too highly Tiya Miles‘ extraordinary book, “All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, A Black Family Keepsake.” @TiyaMilesTAM ‘s narrative is breathtaking. Even the 60+ pages of endnotes are marvelous! — PolitiTweet.org

“Above and beyond its downsides for whichever party controls the Senate at a given time, the filibuster disproportionally disadvantages those with ambitious legislative agendas.” This persuasive argument is worth reading closely: https://t.co/3g0iqhWLUf — PolitiTweet.org

— The bad news: Omicron, now detected in the UK, has “32 mutations on the spike protein alone. As a comparison, Delta had 9 changes on the spike protein.” That matters because “the spike is the key into our cells. If the virus changes to become a smarter key, we need to know.” — PolitiTweet.org

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced today, November 25, 2021, that it would classify the new B.1.1.529 COVID-19 strain as a "variant of concern," and labeled it with the Greek letter "omicron." — PolitiTweet.org

“The variant, known as B.1.1.529, was first detected in Botswana, but scientists in South Africa said they had linked it to an exponential rise of infections in their country. Cases have also been identified in Hong Kong and Belgium.” https://t.co/rqghShQMqF — PolitiTweet.org

Sick to treat “Rittenhouse as a hero for what he did: cross state lines to deliberately place himself in a combustible situation, armed to kill, in a manner likely to provoke the fighting — and lead to the killing — that did indeed take place.” https://t.co/mtQubOmwuo — PolitiTweet.org

“The killing of Ahmaud Arbery, a young Black man who had the gall to jog through a mostly White neighborhood, was nothing but a classic lynching of the kind that could have happened a century ago.” https://t.co/u3CnLFSxME — PolitiTweet.org

There was a time in America when these white Georgians would have gotten away with murder. It is a tribute to the families of Trayvon Martin, also killed by a vigilante, and George Floyd, for their relentless calls for racial justice. https://t.co/cNkqEP47o7 — PolitiTweet.org

“This is a very consequential day, not just for Ahmaud Arbery but for families all over America,” said Ben Crump, the civil rights lawyer who represents the family. He is right. This is what justice looks like. https://t.co/WthgurmgDh — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly a year has passed since the Jan 6 insurrection. Not one person in power has yet been held accountable. Not one. Nor have we added a single safeguard for democracy. Not one. Think about that. — PolitiTweet.org
