“President Joe Biden said on Thursday he would be open to doing away with the filibuster in pursuit of protecting Americans’ voting rights.” YES, VOTING RIGHTS MUST GET A FILIBUSTER-PROOF CARVEOUT!!! https://t.co/TtsaY6om7a — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Sotomayor: “Women seeking abortion care in Texas are entitled to relief from this Court now. Because of the Court’s failure to act today, that relief, if it comes, will be too late for many. Once again, I dissent.” https://t.co/CzpuMORRiY — PolitiTweet.org

This week, all 50 Senate Republicans voted against beginning debate on the Freedom to Vote Act. As Marc Elias says, “There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist. And right now, Republicans are the arsonists, lighting the house of democracy on fire.” — PolitiTweet.org

When the Supreme Court decided NYT v. Sullivan 57 years ago, it was “an occasion for dancing in the street.” "If the Court agrees to hear one or both of the libel cases before it, that would be an occasion for us all to hold our breath." https://t.co/XXhPIkZPWu — PolitiTweet.org

John Eastman, in National Review Interview, Struggles Mightily but Unsuccessfully to Distance Himself from His Own Memo Suggesting How VP Pence Could Steal the Election for Trump, Now Repudiating Its Major Points https://t.co/JA48ZXosDD — PolitiTweet.org

"Mental issues" for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a euphemism for batshit crazy. The walls of her House office should be padded. — PolitiTweet.org

Nine is disgracefully few. But it's way better than Zero, which is what I've come to expect from the GOP. — PolitiTweet.org

Poor Eastman. His misrepresentation of Eastman should be actionable, but Eastman v. Eastman falls outside any known jurisdictional rubric. — PolitiTweet.org

No. It’s true. Even as a fierce opponent of Congress’s Act immunizing the gun industry and a strong critic of some key AG Garland decisions, I say he HAD to defend this Act: Gustafson v. Springfield Armory, holding the Act violated the 5th and 10th Amendments, was indefensible. — PolitiTweet.org

The brief Texas filed in SCOTUS on October 21 opposing DOJ on SB-8 actually argues that, because “the federal government cannot get an abortion,” it has no standing to sue Texas to preserve federal supremacy and the U.S. Constitution. What gibberish! — PolitiTweet.org

AG Garland would be well advised to #AppointSpecialCounsel in light of the conflict arguably created by the AG’s decision to have DOJ defend Trump against E. Jean Carroll on a sweeping view of what’s within Trump’s presidential authority for Westfall Act purposes. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

From House Judiciary Cmttee Hearing 10/21/21: Rep. @LouieGohmertTX1: "Has any defendant involved in the January 6th events been charged with insurrection?" AG GARLAND: "I don't believe so." My question: Why not??? 18 USC §2383 seems clearly applicable. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I had previously resisted the special counsel idea b/c I saw no conflict of interest sufficient to justify it, but on reflection it does seem AG Garland’s unfortunate decision to defend Trump against Carroll creates a potentially disabling conflict. So: #AppointSpecialCounsel. — PolitiTweet.org

Hate to be this blunt, but if DOJ doesn’t pursue Bannon’s indictment, it needs new leadership. Period. Full stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Down for the count! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Bannon has argued he can’t respond to the subpoena because of executive privilege asserted by former president Donald Trump. That’s BS. The matter now goes to DOJ to decide whether to pursue the contempt referral. DOJ must do so!! https://t.co/AspdN69CzO — PolitiTweet.org

“We’ve rounded the turn, and we’re almost to the stretch,” Speaker NANCY PELOSI said, like a true Baltimorean at the Preakness, at her morning presser. “And we’re making great progress to our goal of securing a framework agreement for Build Back Better in a timely fashion.” — PolitiTweet.org

“With a party this diverse, no one should expect any part of the process to be smooth or painless — nor be particularly surprised when members from redder regions aren’t looking to make life easy for their bluer colleagues.” https://t.co/2NHV3azatA — PolitiTweet.org

“It is hard to imagine an America that will reject abortion outright, just as it is hard to imagine one that will ever become comfortable with late-term abortions.” Illogical? Maybe. But “it is emotions, not just principles, that make movements move.” https://t.co/ZedmS4ZBvI — PolitiTweet.org

Of course the outpouring of adulation for Colin Powell was guaranteed to outrage Trump. Why? Because only Dear Leader deserves adulation. Anyone else who draws praise is to be reviled. — PolitiTweet.org

What do you call a system in which 41 Republican Senators, representing just 21% of the population, can stop voting rights legislation backed by 70% of Americans? How about “broken”? — PolitiTweet.org

So very sad. Tragic, really. — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin has been saying this is BS, but if it’s not, and if he stops caucusing with the Dems, then no Biden initiative — or Supreme Court nominee! — will be able to get past McConnell as the new Senate majority leader. Aaarrgghhh! https://t.co/Q9EXtRZ8Ee — PolitiTweet.org
