That some counties allowed mail-in voters to cure problems with their ballots by casting provisional ballots while others did not, even if objectionable, can’t possibly justify disenfranchising all of Pennsylvania, and this federal court so held. https://t.co/NFwWrvoxWL — PolitiTweet.org

Yet another loss in federal court for Trump’s attempted coup. He’s now roughly 2 - 35. And the 2 were pure nothingburgers. A serious question: When does frivolous litigation become inexcusable sabotage? — PolitiTweet.org

JFK was assassinated 57 years ago today. I was a first-year law student. The world broke that day. For me, at least, it has yet to be reassembled. https://t.co/cS56fcti48 — PolitiTweet.org

"It appears that none of us are allowed to say [publicly] that that was one of the weirdest fucking things we've ever witnessed," one senior administration official said. Note to anonymous official: STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. ABANDON THIS SINKING SHIP! https://t.co/eTnWxNe7Gi — PolitiTweet.org

“What Trump is doing is creating a road map to destabilization and chaos in future years,” said Trevor Potter, a Republican who served as chairman of the Federal Election Commission in the 1990s.” https://t.co/YuOwuwArHt — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the 75th anniversary of the great Justice Robert Jackson’s opening argument at the Nuremberg Trials of the Nazi War Crimes. Some film excerpts of Jackson’s opening are here:   https://t.co/YjfNsux6gD. — PolitiTweet.org

The logic in @jimsciutto’s argument is airtight, but the Trumpsters are immune to logic. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the 75th anniversary of Justice Robert H. Jackson’s opening speech as the US Chief Counsel at the Nuremberg Trials of the Nazi War Crimes. Here's the link to that great speech: https://t.co/pSuDt7DHpg — PolitiTweet.org

I’m with @JasonKander here. The MICH Republicans who met with Trump deserve no props for finally saying no. They should’ve refused to give the autocratic sore loser the time of day. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Yes, @marceelias, 2-33 is very comforting, but Trump is salting the earth on his way out, leaving landmines behind, and teaching future autocrats how to sabotage democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

“What’s unfolding now is an attempted coup by a con. It’s a bigger political scandal than Russian interference four years ago. And yes, it is likely to fail, and the system is likely to prevail. But the American majority cannot rest.” https://t.co/mBgl0tlOwQ — PolitiTweet.org

@Richard_Primus is right. And even if the MI lawmakers do meet with Trump. they’d better make 100% clear that they’re not even considering doing Trump’s bidding in violation of MI law and in defiance of the rights and wishes of MI voters. https://t.co/P1h4zixbIZ — PolitiTweet.org

“After courts rejected the Trump campaign’s baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud, the president is trying to persuade loyal Republicans to manipulate the electoral system on his behalf.” Persuade? More like coerce. And that’s a federal crime. https://t.co/UtNques4lQ — PolitiTweet.org

My hunch: These lawmakers are just relishing their rare moment in the klieg lights, maybe their first and last chance to visit the White House with something a sitting president wants from them. But will they sell out MI voters, 160,000 more of whom chose Biden than Trump? Nyet. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not sure I agree with my friend @harrylitman’s bottom line, but his analysis is, as usual, pretty darn astute. Definitely worth reading: https://t.co/Ddf1x2X1Dr — PolitiTweet.org

@GSAEmily: Time’s up. You’re blatantly violating the law, damaging national security, and causing more Covid-19 deaths. DO YOUR JOB! — PolitiTweet.org

“Given how laden the Trump years have been with scandals and corruption, it’s been more of a crime scene than a presidency. To ignore all of that would be unconscionable.” But it mustn’t be a @JoeBiden vendetta. https://t.co/Aem9b7PsBv — PolitiTweet.org

There’s the Georgia recount. President-Elect Biden has definitively won Georgia’s 16 electoral votes. Deep South Georgia. Red State Georgia. Huzzah! https://t.co/KiG7PixsVy — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Ah, 1-31. On CNN tonight I too generously scored it 1-28. @realDonaldTrump is an even bigger loser than I’d calculated. So much losing. Wasn’t it all that winning he said we’d tire of? — PolitiTweet.org

Georgia prosecutors shouldn’t be deterred by Graham’s status as a US Senator from South Carolina. Article I’s Speech or Debate Clause doesn’t shield attempted theft of presidential votes cast by citizens of a sovereign state of the Union. https://t.co/e6rHRzqQiw — PolitiTweet.org
