“This is an incredibly complex moment where the policy -- and procedural -- pathways to thread the legislative needle appear to be somewhere between miniscule and non-existent.” But we shouldn’t give up! https://t.co/RegJpI1g2Z — PolitiTweet.org

A helpful explanation of why Nixon v. GSA (1977) gives Biden, not Trump, control over which documents and what testimony are shielded by executive privilege, by former White House Counsel Neil Eggleston  https://t.co/xLvaVUVk5t — PolitiTweet.org

This repeats much we've already heard, but it can't be said too often: We are at the brink of losing our democracy. Imperfect though it is, it sure beats one-man rule, which is what the Trumpsters seek to install and are busy setting up for 2024. https://t.co/fcPUFNKRm2 — PolitiTweet.org

This is laughable. Though he seems not to get it, Trump is no longer president. And the executive privilege belongs to the Executive Branch as represented by the incumbent president. Q.E.D. https://t.co/ATDD2GSszY — PolitiTweet.org

The Wall Street Journal is doing a great public service by exposing these serious violations of law by over 130 federal judges who should've known better: — PolitiTweet.org

“We have the full panoply of sanctions available for people who refuse to comply with a congressional subpoena,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), one of the Jan. 6 Committee’s 9 members. “We want the truth to come out, not just about the foot soldiers but about the generals too." — PolitiTweet.org

“As appropriate, the Secretary of the Treasury shall compute and is authorized to adjust the borrowing limit to prevent the United States from defaulting on the obligations created under this and previous fiscal measures.” — @NeilHBuchanan’s smart way out of the debt ceiling mess — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

For anyone to rely on a president’s possible authority to spend above the debt ceiling on his own to avoid default as an excuse not to raise the ceiling would be lunacy. Casting doubt on the legal status of US securities would spike interest rates and crash the stock market. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, political suicide. And the “right to die” doesn’t equate to a duty to die. — PolitiTweet.org

The debt ceiling shouldn’t be subject to the filibuster. Nor should laws protecting voting rights or democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

“Can a collapse of liberal democracy in the US still be prevented? Possibly. But it will not be as easy as many suppose from the failure of Trump’s attempt to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election.” https://t.co/FOuQFJcTZQ — PolitiTweet.org

“They wish to be admired and celebrated as the sagacious intellectual giants they believe themselves to be. . . It must be deflating for the justices to recognize that the public is not obligated to reflect their self-regard.” https://t.co/qUUfr8uT9S — PolitiTweet.org

My latest from Trump: LAURENCE, Congratulations. We asked our team to pull the names of President Trump’s BEST supporters, and you’ll never believe it, but YOUR NAME was at the TOP of that list. To put it simply: YOU have earned a spot on the Trump Majority Membership roster — PolitiTweet.org

As Trump hints at 2024 comeback, the odds -- not just a worst case scenario -- are that, four years after the failed Jan. 6 insurrection, Trump and his supporters emerge in 2024 more sophisticated and successful in their efforts to steal an election. https://t.co/fcPUFNtfXs — PolitiTweet.org

“Now, ‘Stop the Steal’ is something like party orthodoxy, ideological fuel for a national effort to seize control of election administration and to purge those officials who secured the vote over Donald Trump’s demand to subvert it.” https://t.co/c28Z9WOpNR — PolitiTweet.org

There are three overlapping crime sprees: The efforts to undo the Nov 3 , 2020 election results; the efforts to reverse the Dec 14, 2020 electoral college vote; the Jan 6, 2021 insurrection. Trump was at the center of all three. — PolitiTweet.org

This isn't exactly a formula for an enduring Union of "We the People." Something has to give way. Hopefully it won't be the very idea of truth. — PolitiTweet.org
