Lunatic, hideous, and pathetic. This monstrous president must be swept from office. We need a tsunami of votes. So VOTE and URGE EVERYONE YOU CAN REACH TO VOTE EARLY. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m afraid I agree, much as I like Senator Feinstein personally and admired her work years ago . . . — PolitiTweet.org

“Her cardboard cutout could have simply worn a mask and held in its fixed hands a sign that proclaimed ‘I can’t express a view on that — but my husband and I have seven lovely children.” https://t.co/GcNoW7vv8d — PolitiTweet.org

“Barrett wdn’t say whether she thought the case granting married couples the legal right to use birth control had been rightly decided. Or whether voter intimidation was illegal. Or even whether a president should commit to a peaceful transfer of power.” https://t.co/GcNoW7vv8d — PolitiTweet.org

“When Trump leaves office, the damage he caused must be fixed and the possibility of future abuse urgently checked. At least six problems require attention.” @jacklgoldsmith and Bob Bauer offer six realistic steps to take: https://t.co/G8MjIvY93t — PolitiTweet.org

You’ve gotta watch @heidibschreck’s brilliant play, “What The Constitution Means To Me,” premiering exclusively on Amazon Prime Video October 16. I’ve had the pleasure of being interviewed together with Heidi about the living Constitution that #AmyConeyBarrett threatens. — PolitiTweet.org

The vote on Budweiser v. Sam Adams might be 5-4. https://t.co/tErTeSuYXZ — PolitiTweet.org

#AmyCageyBarrett wouldn’t even opine that a peaceful transfer of power is essential to democracy or that violent voter suppression is illegal. Here’s @stevenmazie’s excellent summary: https://t.co/wWwm5Aaxe0 — PolitiTweet.org

#AmyConeyBarrett’s colleagues make a futile plea to her, urging that she “call a halt to [her confirmation] process until after the November presidential election.” https://t.co/fkELCOHAYX — PolitiTweet.org

“Don never did get his chance to vote against Donald. But maybe you [see] yourself in him or are close to somebody who would. Maybe you believe in the extraordinary power of a changed mind. Maybe you can help make this last wish of his come true.” https://t.co/HtPL8yvnxy — PolitiTweet.org

It’s notable that the First Amendment freedom she couldn’t name was the freedom to protest by petitioning government for redress of grievances! — PolitiTweet.org

This could prove to be a democracy-saving effort at a time when the chief executive is an immature egomaniac with dictatorial ambitions that lead him to issue illegal orders that require military personnel to seek expert advice. https://t.co/WvmLX5dNY5 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I’m very encouraged that #AmyConeyBarrett, for all her learning and intellectual power, is no match for Justice Elena Kagan in persuasiveness or wit. To be blunt, Kagan will argue rings around Barrett within the Court over the coming decades and that Kagan’s views will triumph. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Interesting that #AmyConeyBarrett couldn’t recall the right to petition the government for redress of grievances when @BenSasse asked her to list the five rights protected by the 1st Amendment. She listed religion, speech, press, & assembly but struggled to recall protest. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Yup — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the great harm a Justice Coney Barrett will do, I predict she’ll join a 7-2 Supreme Court majority in holding the individual mandate severable from the rest of the ACA, including the protection of preexisting conditions. But she’ll join a 5-4 invalidation of the mandate. — PolitiTweet.org

Shaken but, given all we know about her views, hardly surprised, @SamSpital! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This truly is astounding. It carries the plan to make a mockery of the whole confirmation process to an altogether new level. To say she can’t answer whether intimidating voters at the polls is illegal is like refusing to answer whether murder is illegal. Disgusting. — PolitiTweet.org

Military personnel facing possibly illegal orders should consult this important non-partisan, non-profit source of reliable information 👇🏼 https://t.co/k5wYO3jyAU — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

#AmyConeyBarrett refused to answer even whether it’s illegal to intimidate voters at the polls. Senator @amyklobuchar is exposing the nominee as a well-programmed automaton who doesn’t belong on our nation’s highest court. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Senator @amyklobuchar was absolutely spectacular in today’s hearing. Given that the fix is in on this outrageously timed nomination, it won’t change the result. But it should matter in the long run, and I believe it will. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

When Senator @amyklobuchar so smartly asked #AmyConeyBarrett exactly what she meant when she actually wrote that voting rights should belong only to “virtuous” citizens, Barrett was totally unresponsive. That’s telling. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Sen.@amyklobuchar brilliantly pinned down #AmyConeyBarrett on what Barrett has written criticizing the two 5-4 Supreme Court decisions in favor of the ACA. QED. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I’m NOT endorsing Court expansion, but it is true that a nine-member Supreme Court might’ve made more sense when there were only 33 million of us and just 42 states instead of 330 million and 50 states. https://t.co/owYVLGNTxh — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

.@SenWhitehouse made a powerful case against dark money in politics, but — much as I hate to admit it — @tedcruz gave a powerful rebuttal. None of it will remotely affect #AmyConeyBarrett’s confirmation, but it was a really good show. — PolitiTweet.org

“If the polls are right, it won’t work — and we’ll have taken the critical first step to restoring the democratic norms Trump has worked so relentlessly to batter.” Let’s work tirelessly to that end: VOTE HIM OUT BY A LANDSLIDE https://t.co/VZBgMVq30d — PolitiTweet.org
