“Netanyahu will lead a hard-line six-party coalition whose members seek to upend the judicial system, reduce Palestinian autonomy in the occupied West Bank, and maximize state support for the most religious Jews.” https://t.co/cbEEwFI3Fj — PolitiTweet.org

“‘Then I will speak upon the ashes,’” Sojourner Truth once said, which is exactly what Peter Sacks’s portraits achieve: they speak upon the ashes, invoking their viewers, all of us nameless, as a part of this history too.” A splendid review of ageless art: https://t.co/ZpuGuHfYER — PolitiTweet.org

“To give this man a pass from prosecution simply because a trial would prove divisive is to admit that the rule of law in America has failed.” That cannot be permitted to happen. https://t.co/iyPwWVDUeY — PolitiTweet.org

If Scott Perry actually said this, then he's certifiably nuts, which we might previously have suspected but would now know for sure. My hunch is that it's a fake quote. — PolitiTweet.org

Torturers of children must be held accountable even if it takes years. That includes the rulers of any regime that authorizes such monstrous violations of human rights and human decency. — PolitiTweet.org

“It is quite likely the district attorney overseeing the Georgia case, Fani Willis, will file her case against Trump much sooner than federal prosecutors. And the committee’s findings make a compelling case for indictment under Georgia law.” https://t.co/Fo3rLe7Pby — PolitiTweet.org

“The entire nation knows who is responsible for that day. Beyond that, I don’t have any immediate observations,” Mitch McConnell said in a statement reacting to the January 6 House panel voting to refer four criminal charges against Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

“With its criminal referrals, the committee has placed Trump in a position of political ignominy occupied by no other American President. ♦” https://t.co/VPNCyRNzfK — PolitiTweet.org

“The committee also identified five Trump allies for potential prosecution for their roles in aiding his effort to overturn the 2020 election: they included four lawyers: Rudolph W. Giuliani, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, and Kenneth Chesebro.” https://t.co/VPNCyRN1qc — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah Purkey, an oceanographer at UCSD, said it’s a problem of buoyancy versus gravity. For both Jack and Rose to have survived, the wood's buoyancy would have to be equal to or greater than the force of gravity from the weight of the characters. https://t.co/4CfF1fDh6l — PolitiTweet.org

The allegation of “making false statements” seems open and shut, equivalent in Trump’s case to a charge of “drawing breath.” Well said, @Eugene_Robinson https://t.co/iOWbdrCE7m — PolitiTweet.org

"The fraud allegation relates mostly to a deceitful attempt to field slates of fake electors to reverse the result of the 2020 election. More broadly, however: What has Trump’s entire political career been but a great big fraud?" https://t.co/iOWbdrC6hO — PolitiTweet.org

"Death-by-star . . . could be the Earth’s ultimate adios billions of years from now as our sun grows older." Sort of reminds me of Woody Allen's observation: "I'm not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens." https://t.co/5vIWWSqh3x — PolitiTweet.org

“In ways both raw & easily digested, the committee spooled out the narrative of a president who, told repeatedly he had lost, plotted to reverse the outcome, stoked the fury of his supporters, summoned them to DC, and stood by as the violence played out.” https://t.co/LF6vGrXHj5 — PolitiTweet.org

“The Court has not been favoring one branch of government over another, or favoring states over the federal government, or the rights of people over governments. Rather, it is withdrawing power from all of them at once.” https://t.co/FbPev0DKXe — PolitiTweet.org

My thoughts on this are straightforward: The fact that 14A3 says insurrectionists are disqualified doesn’t mean the Bill of Rights or the rights protected by Art I Sec 9 are erased by that general rule. — PolitiTweet.org

The precedents from 1946 (Lovett) and 1965 (Brown) reflect what I take to be the current meaning of the attainder ban. I see no coherent way to make sense of the Constitution’s structure, including the Impeachment Clauses, otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Of course conviction of insurrection would disqualify pursuant to 14A3, There’s no bill of attainder problem if a COURT finds Jan 6 was an insurrection and Trump incited or aided it. No “trial by legislature” in that instance. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The introduction released today identified Chesebro as a central co-conspirator. He appears 14 times in today’s release. He is at least as culpable as Eastman, though not nearly as well known. — PolitiTweet.org
