This says terrible things about these 106 Republican House members. They’re all unprincipled cowards, trembling at the prospect of a mean tweet by the Coward in Chief. — PolitiTweet.org

Correction: This is from the PA brief. The other three Defendant States have filed powerful supportive briefs of their own. — PolitiTweet.org

This powerful reply brief by the four Defendant States should end the agony. “Seditious abuse of the judicial process” is exactly right. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

From the reply just filed for GA, MICH, PA& WISC in SCOTUS: “The Court should not abide this seditious abuse of the judicial process, and should send a clear and un- mistakable signal that such abuse must never be replicated.” — PolitiTweet.org

Yes indeed. But what are the other 17 dudes and dudettes angling for? — PolitiTweet.org

Glad at least @JohnCornyn is honest enough to admit that, if there’s any there there, he can’t see it. Spoiler alert for the good Senator: You can’t see it because there’s nothing there to see. — PolitiTweet.org

This is something you might not know about the latest Hail Mary tossed by Trump and 18 Republican AGs: They've given up claiming they can prove voter fraud! Now they claim the fraud is unprovable because of how the Defendant States conducted the elections https://t.co/AiU2sA5JtY — PolitiTweet.org

I'd put it differently: There's NOTHING suspicious about Biden's 80 million votes. And the only thing about Trump's 74 million votes that makes many of us scratch our heads ISN'T that we think they're fake; it's that we're truly astonished to see so many people vote for him. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This should be decisive. It's over. Except that Trump still has allies willing to assist him in his attempted coup. Let's call it what it is. It is an attempt to overthrow not just the Popular Vote but the Electoral Vote. He says "Stop the Steal." We should say "Stop the Coup." — PolitiTweet.org

2. That’s far from the kind of “concrete and particularized” interest that any suit in an Art. III court requires, as SCOTUS unanimously reaffirmed just today in Carney v. Adams. Neither Texas nor its 17 supporting States have Article III standing to sue the 4 Defendant States. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

1. The gist of the brief just filed by 17 GOP states on behalf of TX against GA, MICH, PA & WISC is that “nonlegislative actors [in those 4 states] undermined the liberty of all Americans, including the voters in [the 17] States,” by making voter fraud more likely. — PolitiTweet.org

In a Newsweek op-ed, Trump’s newest lawyer John Eastman claimed Senator Harris wasn’t a natural born citizen, even though she was clearly born in Oakland, California, because she was born to non permanent residents of the country: an Indian mother and a Jamaican father. No joke! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This new Trump lawyer’s theory that Harris’s birth in Oakland, CA, doesn’t suffice to make her a “natural born Citizen” despite the 14th Amendment is about as crazy as his theory that some States can get SCOTUS to overturn other States’ electoral votes. https://t.co/L3nKrURHIT — PolitiTweet.org

Now that 17 GOP attorneys general have joined this futile lawsuit, it’s time to say it: If you won’t live with the state-by-state results the Electoral College produced, we’ve got a Plan B. It’s called the POPULAR VOTE, which Biden won by > 7M votes. You can’t have it both ways! — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time for bar associations to step up to the plate and discipline attorneys who abuse the system by flooding courts with claims lacking any basis in fact or in law: https://t.co/k45wClBS0Q — PolitiTweet.org

17 Republican Attorneys General Back Trump in Far-Fetched Election Lawsuit. Even if every Republican AG backed this suit, it would be frivolous. The law is clear here. https://t.co/vbqWw7OlQY — PolitiTweet.org

Consider the radical implications of letting Texas and other States sue Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in SCOTUS to disenfranchise the voters of those four States: https://t.co/bUvlfN6g05 — PolitiTweet.org

This lawsuit should be properly labeled: it’s a suit to redress an actionable assault on @C_C_Krebs in the form of a constitutionally unprotected death threat, not merely an intentional infliction of emotional distress or defamation https://t.co/4yQLLdbD4a — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

“The Court’s brief order provided no reasoning, nor did it note any dissenting votes. It was the first request to delay or overturn the results of the presidential election to reach the Court.” As expected. https://t.co/EWWTcm7xl1 — PolitiTweet.org

ForTexas, champion of state sovereignty, to try disenfranchising the States of the upper Midwest (MICH, PA, WISC) is quite something. But disenfranchising GEORGIA, the Peach State?! What’s become of the Old South?! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Even if Texas could get GA, MICH, PA, & WISC tossed out on 1/6/21, (an impossibility), Biden wd still have 306 - 63 = 243 of the 538 - 63 = 475 electors “appointed,” and 243 > 238 = 1/2 of 476, so the 12th Amendment wdn’t toss the election into the House. Hence a dumb move! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This is truly ridiculous. If the 50 sister States could sue one another to overturn each other’s election results, there’d be a mind-blowing cascade of at least 50! (ie 50 x 49 x 48 x ... x3 x2) intra-family Electoral College megasuits. Endless! https://t.co/vFyqScuJwA — PolitiTweet.org
