This man is armed and dangerous. Too bad we don’t have something like a 25th Amendment to sideline him for a few weeks until a grownup takes the oath of office. Oh, wait. We do! But we don’t have a VP, Cabinet, or Senate with the spine to use it. So sad. https://t.co/EICaIasCDF — PolitiTweet.org

@ejeancarroll says her attorney @JoshuaMatz8 just ripped Trump’s lawyers into “tiny, tiny, tiny shreds.”’No wonder! 1. She’s telling the truth. That helps! 2. Her opponents are scum. 3. Her attorney @JoshuaMatz8 is fast becoming the best lawyer in America — PolitiTweet.org

@ejeancarroll has three big things going for her in this suit: 1. She’s telling the truth 2. Her opponents are scum 3. Her attorney @JoshuaMatz8 is fast becoming the best lawyer in America — PolitiTweet.org

Inquiring minds want to know: Are sheer idiocy and abject ignorance defenses to charges of sabotage? — PolitiTweet.org

This Trumpified narrative is predictable — and predictably bogus. Alito & Thomas said no such thing. Glad Twitter marked this tweet as misleading. — PolitiTweet.org

The only embarrassments to the USA in this picture are Trump, 19 state AGs, 126 GOP members of the House, and Senators like Ted Cruz who used this occasion to prove that their loyalty is to themselves & the Dear Leader, not our country, the Constitution, or democratic principles — PolitiTweet.org

I agree. It was unanimous in the rejection of the Texas gambit and 7-2 in refusing even to open the door to considering it. — PolitiTweet.org

“A pandemic is a test of a country’s governance, and this is one the United States has failed. Much of that is on President Trump’s colossal failure of leadership, but it also reflects a deeper skepticism about science and ... personal irresponsibility.” https://t.co/DwfzxoDPV4 — PolitiTweet.org

Read this @ThePlumLineGS tweet and listen to the candid speech by @ChrisMurphyCT. His sober warning is spot on. Trump will leave office on Jan 20 but the cancer that has engulfed his base will linger and must be dealt with lest it destroy us all. — PolitiTweet.org

“The cult of victimhood is dangerous because if you believe you have been wronged by forces beyond your control, you may also believe you are justified in fighting back by any means imaginable. Thus totalitarian movements often rely on victimhood myths.” https://t.co/gaa9fpXXPu — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Trump will step down but will never concede that he lost. It’s part of his plan, to the degree he has one, to play the victim and to stir the paranoid sense of grievance that animates his base. That’s why he and his enablers remain dangerous, even deadly. — PolitiTweet.org

“Now, Republican leaders are either actively engaged in sedition against the United States or offering their silent support to a president furiously working to overturn an election.” — @JoeNBC is sadly right. We need two sane parties but now have just one. https://t.co/sbtOsb6qov — PolitiTweet.org

“This paradox – of the need for government to enable the effective pursuit of individual aims – is particularly extreme in the situation of COVID-19 and its attendant economic crisis.” Read this crystal-clear unraveling of that paradox: https://t.co/VwQNAaiobf — PolitiTweet.org

126 Republican Members of the House are now supporting this coup dressed up as a lawsuit. It would serve the GOP establishment right if SCOTUS were to wait till the Electoral College votes on Monday before flushing this garbage down the golden toilet. But don’t count on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

TX calls its suit one against 4 States, but it’s really a suit claiming injuries to TX citizens from supposed maladministration by executive and judicial officers of those 4 States. Louisiana v. Texas (1900) made clear that such suits cannot be filed in SCOTUS. Period. Case over. — PolitiTweet.org

Josh Shapiro has this right, though I'd recommend sending both a spinal surgeon and a good psychiatrist. Ted Cruz could use one of each, so why be stingy? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Whuut? Looks like Trump is conceding the election pending “his” Supreme Court reversing time’s arrow and redoing the past. So now he’s rejecting even the fourth law of thermodynamics! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

None of the reasons some people advance for giving Trump a bye as ex-president applies to the financial crimes he may have committed unrelated to his term as president. Vance must move full speed ahead: https://t.co/xkVKZgp6Rj — PolitiTweet.org

This statute, dating to 1845, is still being mulled by Trump’s lawyers as a weapon to pull off a coup. It won’t work but remains a potential time bomb and must be revised going forward. Here’s why: https://t.co/WVSYwA4dCh — PolitiTweet.org

If we survive this close encounter with tyranny, it will be an unwritten constitution of norms and decency that will have saved us, not the written Constitution’s text and structure alone or even mostly. @superwuster gets this right, I think: https://t.co/SZtVvJ0U3R — PolitiTweet.org

My timeline: Dec 11, 12, or 13 — SCOTUS tosses Texas suit Dec 14 — EC votes for Biden 306-232 Jan 6 — Congress counts EC votes; objections by Brooks plus a Senator lead to votes in the House & Senate, both chambers confirming Biden as President-Elect Jan 20 — Biden takes oath — PolitiTweet.org
