I agree it would be disastrous for the Court to retreat further from Roe but disagree COMPLETELY with this romanticized and mythic account suggesting that SCOTUS has otherwise been a reliable expander of freedom and equality ever since 1937. It’s just BS. https://t.co/by8J7b50ui — PolitiTweet.org

I’m with @SpeakerPelosi on this. The Toad and all his Toadies should be prosecuted to the full extent permitted by federal law. See 18 USC secs. 2283 & 2284. https://t.co/AgaSnJQvpj — PolitiTweet.org

And I’m reassured by the superb backing the two lead lawyers, Roberta Kaplan and Karen Dunn, will have from their brilliant partner, @JoshuaMatz8 https://t.co/zh10Etp6fR — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with @JohnWDean that AG Garland should appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Trump’s Attempted Coup and the Trump Insurrection — but a Special Counsel far more effective and less snail-paced than Robert Mueller and very much more disciplined and focused than Ken Starr. — PolitiTweet.org

Sedition Central: The conspiracy incubated at the Willard hotel to overthrow the government that had just won the 2020 election was a federal crime. 18 USC sec 2384. https://t.co/XF5IlDGHIf — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear: Facebook’s radicalizing business model is NOT free speech. The obstacles to regulating FB’s dangerous algorithms aren’t constitutional or technical but political and economic. Don’t let that Zuckerman dude hide behind the First Amendment. https://t.co/rqkWxoSjp2 — PolitiTweet.org

“Trump, for his part, both in the Bannon case and in a lawsuit that he filed against the committee this week, is making claims about his own power and impunity that are outrageous even by his standards.” https://t.co/M3gQab9Tz9 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

“Bannon’s testimony would have to do with the planning of the events that led to the assault. If that’s an activity of the executive branch, it’s certainly not a legitimate one. Executive privilege doesn’t extend to hiding evidence of a coup.” Precisely! https://t.co/M3gQab9Tz9 — PolitiTweet.org

In my recently repaired crystal ball🔮, I see a voting rights carveout from the outdated, obstructive, but still surviving Senate Filibuster Rule . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

.@harrylitman raises all the hoops thru which DOJ will jump in deciding whether to indict Bannon, including OLC memos and Nixon v. GSA. But the bottom line remains: Bannon must be indicted if the rule of law (and AG Garland’s credibility) are to survive: https://t.co/8V1AqCFOnH — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve also learned Kevin McCarthy received money from Lev Parnas, the Rudy Giuliani sidekick whose money came through Ukrainian oligarch Firtash and who was convicted by a jury yesterday. And Oleg Deripaska seems to be involved. Hence Moscow Mitch, given Okeg’s Ky aluminum plant — PolitiTweet.org

Kushner too is a thug, just a smug one in an expensive suit. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Agree completely with @Sifill_LDF. Justice Sotomayor is ensuring that history will not forget what this horrid SCOTUS is doing. And, remembering the horror, history will never forgive. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

That strategy could prove self-defeating, @RDEliason, because a court might refuse to fast-track the civil suit, giving a cautious DOJ an excuse to hold off on seeking a grand jury indictment. — PolitiTweet.org

Makes perfect sense to hear both together as soon as Nov. 1. Makes little sense to deny a stay. My question: Why did neither Kagan nor Breyer join Sotomayor’s powerful dissent from that denial? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Exactly. Which is why DOJ should prosecute for criminal contempt, putting the privilege issue before the federal judiciary. — PolitiTweet.org
