Don’t underestimate how much a Court remade in Trump’s image could dismantle. Even Social Security could be on the chopping block. Could a Democratic Congress make Roe v Wade the law of the land? Not with an “originalist” view of the Commerce Clause.  https://t.co/ZlOXuFy6xu — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s creditors have him by the balls. That puts them in position to squeeze us all as long as he’s president. Two takeaways: 1. Keeping him in office endangers our national security. 2. He’s desperate to hold onto office to stay out of prison https://t.co/m3PrUIUnSl — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of Americans want to know: Will Chris Wallace ask Trump on Tuesday night: “Mr. Trump, to whom do you owe that $410M? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I wonder whether Chris Wallace will have the guts to ask Trump Tuesday night: “To whom do you owe that $421M?” — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

One thing not to overlook in the blockbuster NYT report on Trump’s taxes is his $410M in personal debt. That represents some pretty massive leverage by people or governments with interests that aren’t necessarily ours as Americans. Kompromat, anyone? — PolitiTweet.org

If true this news could well be anticlimactic. I doubt Trump’s tax returns will reveal the reasons Putin has such a hold over him. Like the Mueller Report, which proved to contain far less than the expectations game led people to anticipate, Trump’s taxes could be a big snooze. — PolitiTweet.org

On Fox, I said it’s irresponsible although constitutional to rush a confirmation now that the election is underway. I called such a move “stupid” and said the Constitution PERMITS some stupid things, NOT that it CONTAINS stupid things. Chill, people! https://t.co/KBJkdHoxJS — PolitiTweet.org

Listen to this well-considered statement by @JoeBiden on why rushing to confirm Judge Barrett while the presidential election is literally underway would be an irresponsible abuse of the Constitution — one designed to kill the ACA and end protection for preexisting conditions — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone should watch the film #UNFIT; it's a powerful indictment of a dangerous man. https://t.co/Ea7BIAnVRm   https://t.co/9owEL0mnMR — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

There has never been a Supreme Court confirmation while a presidential election is underway. The Constitution permits it, but it’s an irresponsible abuse of power designed to kill the ACA and pack the Court to back up Trump’s plan to stop counting on Nov 3 https://t.co/KBJkdHoxJS — PolitiTweet.org

Three years ago, Amy Coney Barrett told the Senate Judiciary Committee that “one significant case on which I provided research and briefing assistance was Bush v. Gore.” One wonders whether that didn’t he help her name rise to the surface. — PolitiTweet.org

Revolting or not, it’s a telling fact that nobody should overlook. — PolitiTweet.org

Especially given what the same judge said in 2016 about why the Scalia vacancy should be held open for over 400 days. Consistently is a hallmark of judicial integrity. Hypocrisy isn’t a judicial virtue. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says the laws in some states allow “a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. . .” Just listen to him. Staggering. — PolitiTweet.org

Good for our Governor. He has rightly called Trump's challenge to a peaceful transition "appalling and outrageous." Makes me proud to be a Massachusetts resident. — PolitiTweet.org

Disgusting disrespect. On the other hand, I can’t imagine #RBG wanting them there. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course majorities of most demographics feel this way. It’s only fair and sensible. Like the American people, by and large. But tyrants seize power despite majority sentiment. Most people seek safety in silence. When the tyrants close in, it’s too late. https://t.co/fxTn9MD9DZ — PolitiTweet.org

This is worth reading but not worth falling for. It’s provocative enough to be eye-opening but too shallow and short-sighted to take very seriously. So why retweet it? Because I’m beyond taking conventional wisdom for granted. So do read this — and react! https://t.co/DLVOY2PQCj — PolitiTweet.org

After Trump loses to Vance 3-0 in the 2d Circuit, as it certainly looks like he will, he’ll probably seek en banc review & lose there. Then he’ll ask his by-then stacked SCOTUS to bail him out. Even there he should lose. But will he? Watch this space. https://t.co/9ZS2tKYh6t — PolitiTweet.org

And State Legislatures can’t unilaterally “get rid of the ballots” — as Trump threatens to have them do — while those ballots are still being counted! — PolitiTweet.org

A major victory for Congress against Trump’s usurping the Power of the Purse to build his vanity wall with funds appropriated for the Military! A highly conservative judge wrote the opinion saying Trump “snatched the ...key” from the House’s hands. https://t.co/YtmLVcsuOc — PolitiTweet.org
