Even as some say they’re ready to move on, GOP state officials everywhere are moving like greased lightning to enact new voting restrictions in the name of “election integrity.” Just try divorcing the impetus for those laws from the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen! — PolitiTweet.org

Horrible Henry Kissinger carried victim-blaming right into the crematorium, grumbling, “If it were not for the accident of my birth, I would be antisemitic. . . . Any people who has been persecuted for two thousand years must be doing something wrong.” https://t.co/qBMJhNjGfE — PolitiTweet.org

Returning abortion law to the states, like leaping halfway across a chasm, is an indefensibly unprincipled compromise, leaving both unborn life and the equal liberty of women to the vagaries of state borders. https://t.co/e6TvDLXzFc — PolitiTweet.org

I must’ve forgotten to include the Reinstatement Clause in the Constitutional Law Syllabus that I used when I taught the course. All fifty times. — PolitiTweet.org

“No requirement of our electoral process — of our democracy — is more critical than the commitment to nonpartisanship in the administration of our system for casting and counting of ballots now being degraded by these state laws.” https://t.co/7yxbTmXSpf — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans make up just 25% of the voting population. This means Trump’s real support is only (.75 X 25%). In other words 18.75 % of the population. So Republicans need Trump worship to get through their primaries, but they need voter suppression and fraud to defeat Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m greatly relieved to learn that the “report” was far from accurate. It was seriously misleading. I believe Stanford will explain — as it’s best situated to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Mocking an ideologically-based group can’t be made a basis for denying academic privileges in any open society worthy of respect. If accurate, this report shows Stanford Law School to be unworthy of treatment as an academic institution https://t.co/0eqx2OcPsw — PolitiTweet.org

“Democracy is the line that forms on the right. It is the don’t in don’t shove. It is the hole in the stuffed shirt through which the sawdust slowly trickles; it is the dent in the high hat.” — E.B. White (1914) — PolitiTweet.org

This is partly true but obscures the fact that, because the violent insurrection of Jan 6 FAILED, many of us can still breathe free. Had it SUCCEEDED, we’d all live under the arbitrary rule of a self-appointed gang of power-hungry despots who falsely claim to represent us. — PolitiTweet.org

When 100 leading experts in how democracies thrive or die warn that we’re in danger of losing our democracy, everyone needs to listen. The message isn’t abstract and philosophical but concrete and down to earth. These experts have seen where fake claims of stolen elections lead. — PolitiTweet.org

6. So the plea to enact HR1 & take other democracy-protecting measures is urgent. The stakes aren’t ivory tower and abstract but everyday & concrete. How every one of us and our kids and grandkids live and breathe, work and pray, love and grieve, are all on the line. So wake up! — PolitiTweet.org

5. It’s that shared dream that the GOP leaders — we need to call out the culprits, not pretend it’s impersonal — are shattering. Nothing else will matter once that’s gone. And our ability to influence world affairs will suffer as well. We’ll become a has-been country. Losers all. — PolitiTweet.org

4. Only businesses favored by the few who govern thrive under such conditions. When those who study the death of democracy warn that it’s starting to happen here, they’re not imagining an idyllic past where all was well. But we could aspire to move toward a better life for all. — PolitiTweet.org

3. None of the rights we take for granted would remain secure. Countries that have undergone the changes that now loom on our horizon have been promised law, order and prosperity but have instead been overrun with rampant crime and corruption and have descended into chaos. — PolitiTweet.org

2. The loss of power to govern ourselves on the basis of free, and fair and elections will strip not only Black and Brown citizens but all citizens of a meaningful franchise, replace rule by laws with rule by rulers, and make everyone vulnerable to the whims of a select few. — PolitiTweet.org

1. 100 leading scholars of democracy warned yesterday that the laws being passed across the country to make voting harder, coupled with lies about who won in 2020 and whether our elections can be trusted, put America in grave risk of becoming a nation where a clique rules us all. — PolitiTweet.org
