“Now this twist: Biden, hailed as a transformational, once-in-a-generation progressive champion, akin to L.B.J. and F.D.R.; Obama, reduced to a cautionary tale about what happens when Democrats get the car keys but don’t put their foot on the gas pedal.” https://t.co/nPU7zwCLUG — PolitiTweet.org

@tedcruz took constitutional law from me at Harvard. As did @BarackObama, @RepRaskin, @RepAdamSchiff, Elena Kagan, Merrick Garland, and John Roberts. Cruz knows the junk he’s peddling isn’t really con law but just a con. I can’t plead guilty to making him the POS he’s become. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a disgraceful, destructive diatribe against the core of our constitutional order by a federal judge, Lawrence Silberman, who surely should’ve known better. For shame! https://t.co/u0IqWbEhfy — PolitiTweet.org

“Hate can have no safe harbor in America,” President Biden said, calling on Americans to stand up to bigotry when they see it. “Our silence is complicity. We cannot be complicit.” Amen! — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s why a California court agreed to undo San Francisco’s arbitrary decision to erase the names of 44 schools, including Abraham Lincoln High, and left the renaming effort in legal limbo: https://t.co/OBkHrP9aCK — PolitiTweet.org

@JoeBiden has been “less showboat than tugboat, humbly poised to pull us out of perilous waters.” Just what the doctor ordered! https://t.co/iNqFukpoPn — PolitiTweet.org

This killer seems to have had a mixed motive: anti-Asian and anti-sex worker. That should suffice to make it a racist hate crime. Whether Georgia law will see it that way is the question. https://t.co/zt4iKlZ4YL — PolitiTweet.org

Hopefully the Court will see this as a regulatory takings case rather than a physical occupation case. The fruitgrowers are unfortunately going for broke — to break the unions. https://t.co/6b0KUhIXAR — PolitiTweet.org

This is unconstitutional censorship pure and simple. It goes beyond what the First Amendment permits a court to do. Cf. Richmond Newspapers v. Virginia (1980), the first case I argued in the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

In retweeting this, I'm definitely NOT pleading guilty to being a "constitutional giant," but I do want to let folks know that I'm proud to be part of the legal team that has achieved this initial success against an ill-considered renaming resolution. — PolitiTweet.org

“Change is on the way. President Biden has signaled that the days of the Senate filibuster’s stranglehold on majority rule are numbered. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is scared to death that he’s right.” https://t.co/r7JYEYcloF — PolitiTweet.org

“Democrats and Republicans live apart from each other, down to the neighborhood, to a degree that raises provocative questions about how closely lifestyle preferences have become aligned with politics and how even neighbors may influence one another.” https://t.co/jxNH85lCsj — PolitiTweet.org

“Americans need a fine-grained comprehension of who attacked the Capitol. Understanding the ideology and beliefs of those who commit political violence is important, but so is knowing what kind of people they are and what their lives are like.” Absolutely! https://t.co/DYgdzh1nbw — PolitiTweet.org

Me too. To be clear, I’m not for trying to impeach or otherwise remove Justice Kavanaugh. No way. But I’m for holding McGahn accountable for his role in directing a totally fake FBI “investigation” into the serious and still unresolved sex abuse allegations against Kavanaugh. — PolitiTweet.org

Tommy Raskin “made a contribution in honor of each of his students to a charity he thought befitting each of their passions. Asked why he did that, he quoted Daniel Berrigan about Dorothy Day: “She acted as though the truth were true.” https://t.co/0Yo9fa39xS — PolitiTweet.org

“I felt a sense of duty and honor to the country, to my constitutional oath, but perhaps above all to Tommy and to the rest of my family. I’ll probably spend the rest of my life trying to figure out how all of these different events relate to each other.” https://t.co/0Yo9fa39xS — PolitiTweet.org

“I know that Tommy Raskin was someone who acted fiercely and courageously to stand up for what’s right in every context. And I was not prepared to lose my son at the end of 2020 and my country at the beginning of 2021.” — @RepRaskin https://t.co/0Yo9fa39xS — PolitiTweet.org

The AGs challenge a $350 billion pot of money set aside under the stimulus to help cash-strapped cities & states pay for the costs of the pandemic. Congress opted to restrict states from tapping these dollars to finance local tax cuts. Clearly lawful. https://t.co/wSgyW7SGBH — PolitiTweet.org

A well-deserved slam of a Facebook sham: https://t.co/ErH6Mt2Hwe — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This threat is ridiculous. Its theory is that Congress lacks power to set aside $350B for federal spending that isn’t available as a slush fund to fill budget holes created by state and local tax cuts. Absurd. That’s just the power of the purse. Period. https://t.co/wSgyW8ahtf — PolitiTweet.org
