“While this bill is being offered by Democrats, we hold out hope that some Republican colleagues will recognize that there should be nothing partisan about preserving the checks & balances that have kept our democracy strong for more than two centuries” https://t.co/TTy7EjN3xM — PolitiTweet.org

Poor Donald! He can’t catch a break even when he rigs the game by handpicking the refs! https://t.co/dlpGX6FpKF — PolitiTweet.org

You tell me! I didn't say the Justice Department SHOULD "spare" Trump, only that, IF it does -- e.g., to prevent him from becoming a martyr with even more sway over his cult -- then it should at least pursue justice without hesitation for all his criminal conspirators & enablers. — PolitiTweet.org

Just watch Donald Trump, who keeps insisting he’s still the president, to try invoking executive privilege to silence former aides. It’s a privilege that belongs to the executive branch, now headed by Joe Biden, so Trump has no legal legs to stand on. https://t.co/rU1NbOgxKn — PolitiTweet.org

Memo to Justice Amy Coney Barrett about Justice Sandra Day O’Connor: “She cared about the impact of the court’s decisions — not only on the law, but on the country itself. And she was willing to learn.”  https://t.co/GtWtrRo7B0 — PolitiTweet.org

It's increasingly hard to see how DOJ can sit on this kind of revelation without convening a grand jury to inquire into seditious conspiracy leading to insurrection, letting the chips fall where they may . . . — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve long argued that viability isn’t an arbitrary line for purposes of a woman’s right to end her pregnancy but that, even if it were, its arbitrariness wouldn’t doom it. Here @dorfonlaw elaborates the second of those points elegantly and convincingly: https://t.co/VGXk1CXpnW — PolitiTweet.org

“The renovated Coop is an embarrassment and a travesty. They’ve replaced a center of knowledge with a merchandise mart that trivializes and commodifies the trappings of learning.” So very sad.  https://t.co/QQAA4p9gVx — PolitiTweet.org

Trump could remain Individual #1, an unindicted co-conspirator, if the AG concludes — rightly or wrongly — that the downside of putting Donald in the dock and making him a martyred hero to his followers, exceeds the upside. Let him seethe at being denied the spotlight! — PolitiTweet.org

Even if DOJ decides to spare Trump, the gang that plotted the coup, probably Eastman & Bannon & Giuliani & Powell & Flynn & McCarthy & Donald Jr., all need to be held criminally accountable. Without them to prop him up, Trump will be an impotent sore loser. — PolitiTweet.org

“If they can’t disenfranchise enough people, this gives them the chance through the patina of legality to overturn the results,” Congressman Schiff continued. “And that, to me, is the most desperate risk that our democracy faces.” https://t.co/lhguxssK6W https://t.co/lhguxssK6W — PolitiTweet.org

This thread brilliantly explains the ways in which the self-defense dimension of Second Amendment rights serves to limit rather than expand the Amendment’s scope — PolitiTweet.org

It’d be hard to justify DOJ inaction in the face of this rapidly mounting evidence of a criminal conspiracy to commit sedition against the US Government and to give aid and comfort to an insurrection. See 18 USC secs. 2383 & 2384. https://t.co/V6Fy4XOw7x — PolitiTweet.org

14A4 makes debt ceiling unconstitutional if it wd trigger default. Exec Branch wd violate sep of powers by violating ceiling to enforce 14A4. But that wd be “less unconstitutional” than not doing so. Go figure! https://t.co/DRNELLWqhr — PolitiTweet.org

Yup. Although “worse” than horrible is a fine gradation. — PolitiTweet.org

“The newly disclosed information builds on what was already known about what appears to be an expansive multi-front effort to destroy a peaceful and just transfer of power,” and that effort continues to this day. This remains a time of maximum peril. https://t.co/QxYbnS2JoM — PolitiTweet.org
