“When McConnell’s spinners claim that he wants to keep the filibuster to facilitate bipartisanship and moderation, it’s knee-slappingly laughable. McConnell himself has shown us otherwise.” CALL MITCH’S BLUFF!!! https://t.co/to4QifE0pC — PolitiTweet.org

I share @deepakguptalaw’s pride in the work we did on the Emoluments Clause lawsuits. It’s a shame they became moot, but that’s the way the cookie crumbled. — PolitiTweet.org

The role of presiding over an impeachment trial is almost entirely ceremonial, but expect the Republican Senators who seem excuses for giving Trump a pass to pretend Leahy will play a partisan role. He won’t. — PolitiTweet.org

This transgender ban was an affront to human dignity and national security. It’s great that @JoeBiden rescinded it so quickly. https://t.co/7pjAo0w2Dc — PolitiTweet.org

Threatening to make a game out of impeaching past presidents shows not just stupidity but a lack of seriousness. We're dealing with insurrection here, guys. It's not tit-for-tat. Especially when there's no tat. https://t.co/dOi7oG9jon — PolitiTweet.org

This effort was of a piece with Trump's fomenting of the January 6 insurrection. And claiming the U.S. has standing to invoke the help of SCOTUS to overturn a presidential election takes monumental ignorance along with arrogance & chutzpah. https://t.co/mchPvXhwNL via @WSJ — PolitiTweet.org

I started fearing Trump would issue such secret “pocket pardons” well before Jan 20, but I didn’t say so publicly, not wanting to give him any ideas. That said, I think such pardons would be legally vulnerable if and when invoked to resist prosecution https://t.co/BVH6FtU8WW — PolitiTweet.org

“Prosecutors are looking to bring charges of seditious conspiracy against anyone who planned and carried out violence aimed at the government, carrying a maximum possible prison sentence of 20 years.” ALL who stormed the Capitol should be charged. https://t.co/dJdFrHB5zG — PolitiTweet.org

Bending to the threat that trying and convicting Trump would foment violence would mean giving in to the insurrectionists whom Trump directed to prevent the tallying of Electoral College votes. Nothing could endanger our democracy more than such cowardice https://t.co/jPhyUhideE — PolitiTweet.org

I’m sure Biden is in fact aiming even higher than 100 million — but he’d rather underpromise and overdeliver than overpromise and underdeliver. A wise choice, especially after four years of the opposite! https://t.co/G78ayBJVBw — PolitiTweet.org

@BillKristol asks: “Wouldn’t an attempt corruptly to influence senators’ verdict itself be grounds for conviction?” My answer: Yes — for Senators not so thoroughly corrupted that they don’t care and won’t abide by their oaths to do impartial justice . . . — PolitiTweet.org

“Trump has told people that the third-party threat gives him leverage to prevent Republican senators from voting to convict him during the Senate impeachment trial.” Only convicting and disqualifying Trump will cut that plan off at the knees. https://t.co/2iqVIECAHl — PolitiTweet.org

“According to Senate records, the number of times the chamber considered a ‘cloture’ motion to end debate — the Senate’s way of stopping a filibuster — rose from six in 1969-70 to 298 in 2019-20.” https://t.co/vtbSn0N6DE — PolitiTweet.org

A secret ballot would probably convict and ban Trump 100-0. But I guess it’s not in the cards, though it’d be the fairest way to proceed — as with any ordinary jury. — PolitiTweet.org

Bad news for the corrupt recipients of ineptly drawn, bizarrely loophole-ridden Trump pardons: Swiss cheese pardons, filled with holes! Serves these goons right! https://t.co/WPwtAmGyvf — PolitiTweet.org

The overwhelming consensus is that the Senate can try, convict, and permanently ban Trump from holding office even though he’s no longer in office. https://t.co/z3V05RZJPN — PolitiTweet.org
