“The justices [in Mexico] said what has long been intuitive to feminist activists: that someone who is not yet born does not have the same protection as someone who already is alive.” Alas, the justices of our Supreme Court no longer seem persuaded. https://t.co/xkJGbKynux — PolitiTweet.org

Passing this voting rights bill is essential if we are to avoid electoral disaster. Killing it with a filibuster would be tantamount to giving up on representative democracy and a republican form of government. https://t.co/w91NYy43Aa — PolitiTweet.org

This strongly supports the thesis that the insurrection was just stage 2 of the Trump coup these thugs were planning from the start https://t.co/9o4aP2pSxj — PolitiTweet.org

Pg 238 of the #WoodwardCosta book #Peril tells a bit of this important story, but the account by @judgeluttig adds crucial details and depth. Thank heaven for the role Judge Luttig played in averting a coup by the VP on Trump’s behalf! — PolitiTweet.org

Plotting & planning the insurrection = seditious conspiracy under 18 USC sec. 2384 . . . So who were the conspirators? — PolitiTweet.org

LGBTQ veterans who were given other than honorable discharges from the U.S. military due to their sexual orientation are eligible to receive full benefits, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced on Monday. LONG OVERDUE! https://t.co/mqdXQFEy7w — PolitiTweet.org

In a new article, election law scholar Richard L. Hasen warns that we face “serious risk” of “election subversion” or an “actual stolen election.” Hasen discusses reforms that could avert such scenarios. They’re urgently needed. Please Retweet this: https://t.co/jT7Y6iKEhE — PolitiTweet.org

James Clapper, a former director of national intelligence, and John Brennan, a former C.I.A. director — wrote that excessive secrecy can result in indiscriminate and destructive leaking. It’s self-defeating. SCOTUS should grant review. https://t.co/lO3E1wj64j — PolitiTweet.org

“These environmental wins were not the result of lawsuits but of widespread & nonpartisan public outcry. They tell us what can happen anywhere, when people start recognizing trees as a kind of civic infrastructure and the natural world as a public good.” https://t.co/k4MWH1bpZv — PolitiTweet.org

Both of the lawsuits against Dr. Braid are frivolous, each for a different reason, and neither should be allowed to distract from SB-8’s unconstitutional chilling effect or its devastating impact on the women of Texas. The key suit is that filed by the US. https://t.co/r1RjkctqLn — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This lawsuit’s core allegation — that the TX doctor “did not violate Roe v. Wade” — is literally incoherent. Roe v. Wade isn’t something any doctor could possibly “violate.” Only a state law like SB-8 can do that.  https://t.co/ABLo5aPPfN — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This Illinois resident’s lawsuit vs the TX doctor doesn’t seek a bounty but just asks the court to declare SB-8 null and void. It’s structured to get nowhere and doesn’t even illustrate how SB-8 deters legal abortions in TX! https://t.co/ABLo5aPPfN — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Yet another bounty-hunter sues under SB-8, all but daring the defendant to plead the TX law’s unconstitutionality as a defense and to countersue using 42 USC 1983  https://t.co/ABLo5aPPfN — PolitiTweet.org

This further explains how Eastman twisted my work with @dorfonlaw & @NeilHBuchanan to back up his unconstitutional 6-part attempted coup: — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This Eastman memo pretends to be based on my analysis but in fact takes snippets of my work wholly out of context and spins a totally fake web of “law” that no halfway decent lawyer would take seriously. No wonder it couldn’t fool even Mike Pence. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

For sure. Use 42 USC 1983. — PolitiTweet.org

Ludicrous but scary as hell. Think 2024. Those guys mean business — even though their “law” is totally fake. — PolitiTweet.org

“The procedure that anti-­abortion lawyers want to portray as an unnecessary and outmoded privilege (and a shameful one) is a form of medical care that hundreds of thousands of people turn to each year, low-income people in particular.” https://t.co/ynCiuMgM5n — PolitiTweet.org
