The Realtors’ SCt. brief filed on 8/20 makes light of how mass evictions would spread Covid — and mocks the law supporting the eviction moratorium, 42 U.S.C. § 264, demanding that it be “limited to matters such as the sale of baby turtles.” Baby. Turtles. WTF? — PolitiTweet.org

.@gtconway3d may be right. Still, it’s hard to believe this is the best we’re capable of. The human tragedy is staggering, and the signals from POTUS, SecDef, and others in the administration aren’t in sync even on basic facts like whether anyone can reach the airport safely — PolitiTweet.org

Many readers are saying I shouldn’t assume the AG is indeed hesitating in his pursuit of Trump. Maybe he’s investigating Trump’s attempted coup at full tilt — but in leak-proof silence. That’s a possibility, for sure. And I’d like nothing more. But it can’t hurt to remind him. 🤞 — PolitiTweet.org

Why AG Garland must move full steam ahead to investigate Trump’s apparent criminality in trying to steal the 2020 election: to protect the elections of 2024, 2028, 2032, . . . and the long-term survival of our constitutional republic. Read @GlobeOpinion https://t.co/FdDxEceAWf — PolitiTweet.org

.@BarbMcQuade is exactly right. The @JeffreyToobin argument is frankly ridiculous. If anyone is listening, it’s likely to backfire. — PolitiTweet.org

.@JeffreyToobin says AG Garland shouldn’t even investigate Trump’s role in the seditious insurrection because “the leading precedent … comes from a case from 1863!” Hmmm. Could that maybe be because. . . wait for it: This is the first insurrection we’ve had since the Civil War? — PolitiTweet.org

If @JeffreyToobin’s embarrassingly weak argument for sparing Trump from criminal investigation and possible prosecution is the best available — and it may well be — then AG Garland should be pursuing the former president and without hesitation right now. https://t.co/7EQK7KMjHV — PolitiTweet.org

There exists no defensible basis for the DC Circuit panel to upset the eviction moratorium while the realtors’ challenge moves to SCOTUS. But the panel should also rebut Judge Friedrich’s hyper-activist disregard for the plain text of the 1944 Act of Congress, 42 USC 264(a). — PolitiTweet.org

As Barack Obama’s longtime friend and former law school teacher, and as an admirer of much that he & Michelle have accomplished, I find this whole over-the-top, hyper-opulent birthday saga utterly disgusting, pathetically shallow, and frankly nauseating https://t.co/vDtrz3W7Am — PolitiTweet.org
