States that deny trans children needed medical care are not just being cruel; they’re defying the Fourteenth Amendment. Here’s a fine explanation 👇🏼 https://t.co/WGok707LmM — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve now reread Richard Lazarus’s book and Lisa Heinzerling’s review and have concluded I wasn’t fair to Lazarus. The misogyny I said the review “suggests” seems to reside in the eye of the beholder, and I was too influenced by my wish that Lazarus had written a more cynical book — PolitiTweet.org

Please please listen to the sublime 11-yr-old violinist Teo Gertler play these wonderful gypsy melodies. It might make you weep, but it’s well worth it. It’ll certainly make your day. https://t.co/kVsLe0JpIR — PolitiTweet.org

Even today’s #SCOTUS would compel GoV. DeSantis of FLA to extradite Trump to New York if he gets indicted there. But Trump might well assume he could get DeSantis to resist, while Gov. Murphy of NJ clearly wouldn’t. That’s why this is a thing. — PolitiTweet.org

“Any judicial victory liberals hope to achieve in the coming years will likely require winning over the justice whose nomination they fought most ferociously to defeat.” I wdn’t count Kavanaugh as a sure vote for the forces of darkness. Not by a long shot. https://t.co/qZ2rgPQ9ma — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepLizCheney could well be the first woman President if things break her way. She has everything it takes. You saw it here. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s “big lie about having won the 2020 election builds on the only somewhat smaller lies Republicans routinely told in the normal course of business. The voter-fraud lie goes back at least two decades.” https://t.co/4llaDdRl63 — PolitiTweet.org

Now you tell me! Department: From the Baltimore Sun “The images in the ‘Spot the difference’ feature in the April 26 editions were mistakenly the same image and not in fact different.” Aargh!! — PolitiTweet.org

This blowhard has no hesitation about just flat-out denying what's obviously going on around him. He wants his listeners to ignore what they're seeing with their own eyes as he spews his BS. He's one of the new breed of GOP Trumpists. Disgusting. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Trump might skip Bedminster and hide out in Palm Beach if he fears an indictment by a NYC grand jury run by Cy Vance. Gov. Phil Murphy of NJ would readily extradite Mr. Trump on Gov. Andrew Cuomo's demand. Not so sure about Gov. Ron DeSantis of FLA. He'd be more likely to defy. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Oh but the Republican Party of Donald Trump does indeed have a coherent philosophy: It's "we should wield all power over everybody else. Nobody but us matters." Not a pretty purpose, but an understandable one. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Indeed. Whether Liz Cheney will be able to use that new platform to dethrone the demagogue who lurks in the wings at Mara Lago or Bedminster thirsting for total power is unclear. Everyone who cares about this country's future and democracy's survival should want her to succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Good old George had a pretty good grip on the dangers we'd face as a fledgling republic. He had plenty of wisdom to impart. Too bad one of our two great political parties won't listen or doesn't care and has completely lost its way. — PolitiTweet.org

Better late than never. But maybe too late to matter much, especially if McGahn answers only selectively. . . https://t.co/M9twWP7Bqf — PolitiTweet.org

This report quotes my skepticism about states’ ability to win their challenges following Treasury’s latest rules. “This interim guidance seems to me sufficient to overcome any legitimate red state constitutional objections,” I told Bloomberg. https://t.co/fh7YpLNvsI — PolitiTweet.org

House Minority Leader MCCARTHY, just hours after Rep. LIZ CHENEY (Wyo.) was ousted from GOP leadership for rebuking TRUMP’S Big Lie: “I don’t think anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the election. That is all over with. We’re sitting here with the president today.” Whuut? — PolitiTweet.org

“Government minders were sent to live [with women who’d been forced to use IUDs] to watch for signs of discontent.” Our 3rd Amendment bars quartering soldiers in any house in peacetime w/out the owner’s consent. Giving up democracy wd give up that right.  https://t.co/pJJwvd4inT — PolitiTweet.org

People forget that in Planned Parenthood v Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), our Supreme Court reasoned that a state that can force a woman to stay pregnant can also force her to abort her pregnancy. https://t.co/6q5prGi8kE — PolitiTweet.org

Must listen to @RepLizCheney deliver this powerful speech. It’s four minutes of courage that will be taught to schoolchildren a century from now. — PolitiTweet.org

"I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former President's crusade to undermine our democracy." -- Liz Cheney, May 11, 2021 — PolitiTweet.org

“One of America’s 2 major parties is about to make embracing a huge lie about the integrity of our elections — the core engine of our democracy — a litmus test for leadership in that party, if not future candidacy at the local, state and national levels.” https://t.co/cP32VvN6cE — PolitiTweet.org

“Today, we face a threat America has never seen before. A former president who provoked a violent attack on this Capitol, in an effort to steal the election, has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him.” https://t.co/BzTwoiQN06 — PolitiTweet.org

.@robreiner has this right. Expelling #LizCheney shows everyone what power-hungry unprincipled frauds the Republican leaders in Congress truly are. — PolitiTweet.org

Yep, that’s Stefanik, all right. The worst common denominator. — PolitiTweet.org

This shocking book review suggests a degree of old-boy misogyny and misty-eyed judge worship that has no place in our century or our law and is beneath the book’s author, a colleague whom I respect as I do the distinguished author of the review. https://t.co/w6t3nB53kD — PolitiTweet.org

“Because we might not survive the next [close] encounter, [we all] must understand how Facebook and other social media platforms hide behind a fictionalized account of the First Amendment purpose-built to shield them from essential government regulation.” https://t.co/essS47nOTi — PolitiTweet.org
