“Given the bleak trajectory of American politics, I worry about progressives retreating into private life to preserve their sanity, a retreat that will only hasten democracy’s decay.” SO JOB ONE IS: DO NOT RETREAT. KEEP HOPE ALIVE. https://t.co/yL7HovMURf — PolitiTweet.org

“On many matters of constitutional law, the legal community has accepted that the Supreme Court enjoys the final word. Questions about whether an amendment has become part of the Constitution are an important exception.” Congress should decide. Here’s how: https://t.co/wzZHTZQzhe — PolitiTweet.org

At least one institution in DC is doing its job: The Select Committee on the January 6 violent insurrection and its planning and financing: https://t.co/tt6PeUrG04 — PolitiTweet.org

When the S. Ct. strikes down the vigilante “justice” scheme at the heart of SB-8 in TX, as I expect it to do soon, that’ll leave in place the harm the Rittenhouses of the world will do with the “open carry” right the Court will decree when it strikes down NY’s gun law in June. — PolitiTweet.org

“There is nothing wrong with begrudging all the resources Rittenhouse was provided to fight his case when those resources are a product of his Whiteness. Maybe that’s not the high road, but the high road is not leading to equal justice.” https://t.co/yd6Ey9n1Sp — PolitiTweet.org

“In the end, as Pelosi did with the financial bailout in 2008, the Obama-era stimulus plan in 2009 and the Affordable Care Act in 2010, among others, Ms. Pelosi found a way to win when it appeared she could lose.” She is the greatest legislator of the era https://t.co/ZigKBLKQLE — PolitiTweet.org

“The disconcerting reality is that America’s rarified NatCon World is just one piece of a larger illiberal populist revolt that is strong and rising.” This is a scary look into what the new right is up to. Please read it! https://t.co/gSeSTSBhGn — PolitiTweet.org

The issue shouldn't have been whether, in the split-seconds before firing, Rittenhouse genuinely felt in mortal danger but how he had created danger in the first place by needlessly inserting himself, and his loaded rifle, into an already tense situation. https://t.co/wdFbYgLZ2v — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

"Even though he was found not guilty of all charges, what Rittenhouse did should be seen as clearly, horribly, tragically wrong." And he should be held civilly culpable, the way OJ Simpson was. Not to extract lots of money from him but to send a message. https://t.co/wdFbYgLZ2v — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

"The acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse was no bolt-from-the-blue surprise, but I fear that other self-appointed, heavily armed vigilantes will take this verdict as a green light to act out their bloody fantasies." Especially with our Supreme Court's help! https://t.co/wdFbYgLZ2v — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I'd be surprised if this prediction by @ElieNYC isn't spot on. A 2024 RNC without Rittenhouse would be hard to imagine. And that's pretty stomach-turning in itself. — PolitiTweet.org

I expect a strong Supreme Court majority, including Justices Barrett and Kavanaugh and the Chief Justice, to hold the TX vigilante abortion ban, SB-8, unconstitutional on Monday, stressing how the TX scheme would endanger all rights, not just abortion. https://t.co/OlkoltzDRE — PolitiTweet.org

Vigilante Injustice. No other name does justice to this travesty. https://t.co/hSxlUKiNoE — PolitiTweet.org

“As the Rittenhouse case shows, it is all too easy for the presence of guns to encourage the packing of more guns — with armed violence and death as a result. The tragedy in Kenosha could have been avoided. Sometimes the law really ignores common sense.” https://t.co/Ny2AyPcJwy — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

“At a time when the United States is deeply ideologically polarized and the Supreme Court is likely soon to recognize a right to have concealed weapons in public, the social implications of the Rittenhouse verdict are frightening.” https://t.co/Ny2AyPcJwy — PolitiTweet.org

What’s priceless isn’t any mere artifact but the IDEAS and VALUES behind the Constitution after its profound transformation in the wake of the Civil War. Those ideas and values aren’t for sale to the highest bidder. https://t.co/5Z4IVMW1vu — PolitiTweet.org

These GOP assaults on state election systems can't be allowed to fly under the radar. Unless successfully challenged, such attacks will cut the legs out from under all our elections, from the midterms to the quadrennial selection of the president. And then where will we be? — PolitiTweet.org

Ooooh, the most unkindest cut of all! Without quite calling Kevin McCarthy a half-wit, @RepRaskin splices the knave in two . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I join Chairman Nadler in that request. The idea that other vigilantes could take it upon themselves to shoot innocent people to death the way Rittenhouse did and get away scott free is incompatible with the survival of a civilized, law-based society. — PolitiTweet.org

From the Vultures of a Feather Stick Together Department: Matt Gaetz says he might offer Kyle Rittenhouse a job as a congressional intern as the jury debates the teen’s guilt in a murder case that any decent judge would've handled differently https://t.co/f8Ufw8E5Vk — PolitiTweet.org

This is hugely significant regardless of how much Senators Manchin and Sinema manage to chip away from the House-passed $1.9 trillion spending package that would expand social benefits and fight climate change https://t.co/R8JMfpHsIz — PolitiTweet.org
