@SpeakerPelosi is spot on in eloquently assigning blame for the monstrous Rep. @mtgreenee where it belongs: on the derelict GOP leadership in the House, for putting Greene on the Education Committee after she mocked the killing of little kids at #SandyHook — PolitiTweet.org

With this video of @mtgreenee not just stalking survivors like @davidhogg111 in public but abusing her official position to hound David Hogg inside the House. That should seal the case for her expulsion. — PolitiTweet.org

PLEASE listen to the 9 Impeachment Managers explain what’s about to happen. It’ll be among the most important and informative 7 minutes you’ll ever spend. Trust me on this! — PolitiTweet.org

For sure! @mtgreenee is a throwback of the worst sort. Not even the Congress of the Paleolithic Era would find her acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Exactly. The 45 who hoped to avoid having to take a stand include a fair number who remain persuadable. Wait for the trial before assuming it’s all over. — PolitiTweet.org

The position taken by @RandPaul & 44 other Senators would give all future presidents two weeks at the end of their term in office to go on a crime spree without ever having to face the consequences in a Senate disqualification trial. That’s a formula for destroying our republic!! — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly as vital as convicting and disqualifying Trump is rejecting the proposed TRANSITION LOOPHOLE that would give any defeated tyrant a 2-week open hunting season between January 6 and 20 to commit whatever high crimes he chooses without EVER facing a Senate impeachment trial! — PolitiTweet.org

Too few people have focused on what danger the future will hold if Trump is given a pass on his January insurrection just because his effort to overturn democracy came so close to the end of his term that he couldn’t be tried by the Senate while still in office. — PolitiTweet.org

An embarrassment in more ways than one. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Sen. Paul raised a constitutional point of order on Jan. 26 and Majority Ldr. Schumer moved to “table.” It wasn’t a vote on whether the trial is constitutional—but on whether to debate. No debate yet. Stay tuned. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s Holocaust Remembrance Day—the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Death Camp. — PolitiTweet.org

“Sandy Hook was the first American mass shooting to ignite viral, fantastical claims that it was a phony event staged by the Obama administration as a pretext for confiscating Americans’ firearms.” These “theories” are impervious to facts and reason. https://t.co/8BE3KkyJZs — PolitiTweet.org

Not curious, just devious and, well, McConnell-like through and through. — PolitiTweet.org

Finally an American president who tells Putin off — for all his attacks on America and Americans! After 4 long years of servile ass-licking by Trump. https://t.co/hCjjEJd7Ca — PolitiTweet.org

He’s eaten so many of his own words already, I’l bet he’s tired of the taste. — PolitiTweet.org

Such sweet justice! For Trump’s puppetmaster to fall apart just after Trump falls? Too good to be true. . . — PolitiTweet.org

Aaargh. Sadistic voyeur as well as cowardly insurrectionist. What’ll we learn next? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Look on the bright side: although 67 are needed to convict (assuming all 100 attend), 12 of the 45 might either be persuaded by the House Managers or agree they’re bound by the 55-45 precedent. But it’s no doubt a steeply uphill climb. — PolitiTweet.org

#Dominion’s case seems stronger to me than @NoahRFeldman says. He claims “it isn’t necessarily reckless to make a statement you know to be unreliable.” Huh? To present such a statement as one you’re sure is true, as #Giuliani did, certainly IS reckless. https://t.co/6RfPAkaOT7 — PolitiTweet.org

Pre-20th Amendment (1933), the President would’ve remained in office till March 4. Why should the Constitution’s shortening of the Lame Duck period be turned into a sword for gutting the impeachment power of its key protective feature: permanent disqualification? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Should Congress lose power to protect the nation by convicting & disqualifying Trump just because his failed effort to steal the election by any means possible — including inciting armed insurrection — came too close to when his loss in that election required him to leave office? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Claiming a president automatically escapes disqualification if he loses reelection & is impeached for inciting insurrection to reverse his loss too close to his term’s end to be tried & convicted while still in office rips the heart out of the impeachment power & invites tyranny — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Worth recalling: The issue teed up by the Senate Republicans isn’t really about any power to impeach a private citizen. It’s only about the Senate’s power to try, convict, and disqualify someone who was impeached by the House while serving as the President of the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

@JonathanTurley will need to eat a lot of crow at that GOP lunch: Not too many years ago, he argued the very opposite — that the Senate has full constitutional authority to try, convict, and disqualify a former president. He was right then. He’s wrong now https://t.co/P7FpVjPEMT — PolitiTweet.org

Calling it the QAnon “theory” degrades the concept of “theory.” It’s like speaking of the Flat Earth “theory.” It’s a world view, and not one that can be falsified or verified. That’s what makes it so dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

“Questing for unity without executable ways to hold bad actors accountable will render the pursuit useless.” Well, maybe not quite useless but hollow and dangerous https://t.co/UBYeZ5qaGc — PolitiTweet.org
