“The bill is coming due for those who sold their souls to Trump. The voters may boot out a good number of incumbents. The rest of us ...will have learned how ... a cadre of well-educated comfortable men and women can rationalize and excuse anything.” https://t.co/qPMOkPTOYU — PolitiTweet.org

“In the same week Trump reached the milestone of 20,000 false or misleading statements, [he] seemed determined to recite them all in a single appearance. . . Trump’s brain was shooting the rapids, hitting rocks, tumbling down falls.” https://t.co/Ippp05tFkF — PolitiTweet.org

My amicus brief supports the release to a sanctuary of an elephant named Happy, caged for 40 years in the Bronx Zoo, and legal recognition through the ancient writ of habeas corpus that she is not a “thing” with no rights that humans are bound to respect https://t.co/PzeREXen9t — PolitiTweet.org

“Even for a president who rarely sticks to the script and wanders from thought to thought, it was one of the most rambling performances of his presidency.” Trump is in total meltdown. #HeMustGo. https://t.co/Z3nVUJ8Qdc — PolitiTweet.org

Memo to America: We’ve been through this before, putting unrealistic hopes on Mueller. We need to face it: He’s not what he once was. That’s why Rosenstein chose him as special counsel, knowing he’d be underwhelming. It’s why Barr was able to roll him. https://t.co/FyGNQKpYjW — PolitiTweet.org

Trump deserves zero credit for doing the obviously right thing here. His lawyers must’ve read the handwriting on the wall: we would’ve won a restraining order this afternoon, and he was getting tired of losing. https://t.co/yhpfKxOwCZ — PolitiTweet.org

Memo to Roger Stone: Don’t sell the orange jumpsuit just yet. @jgeltzer and @neal_katyal explain why you might need it in 2021 or 2022. 🧡 https://t.co/9l6AhjzCrR — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I agree with @jgeltzer here.Trump’s Stone commutation is an egregious abuse of power & an impeachable obstruction of justice but ISN’T a violation of the “except in cases of impeachment” clause (Art. II sec.1 Cl.7) despite @BrettschneiderC’s admirable effort to show the contrary: — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

.@jentaub & @jgeltzer have zeroed in on the Senators who are betraying their oaths to protect the Constitution from high crimes by a president who abuses his commutation power to escape accountability. An important contribution to the national dialogue 👇🏼 https://t.co/pH8Sz8hNDO — PolitiTweet.org

Now Trump says “You all know that Biden and Obama stopped testing. They just stopped it.” BIDEN and OBAMA?!?! Where are the guys with butterfly nets? Where are the straitjackets and padded cells? What about the 25th Amendment, at long last? But #MoscowMitch and his Senate! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Trump, yesterday: “When you test, you create cases.” Nothing could better exemplify Trump’s view that ALL “facts” are fake. Remember his “What you see and what you read isn’t what’s happening”? We’re now witnessing the wages of his lunacy. Those wages are death. HE MUST GO. — PolitiTweet.org

“No country...was as prepared as the United States. But the coronavirus ...has shown us that health system capacity alone is almost useless unless you have a government that can unleash that capacity promptly and consistently.” Instead, we had Trump. https://t.co/xGogQm3pP8 — PolitiTweet.org

“No one expects [Trump] to do his job, or to be held to account when he doesn’t. That’s how you know the country was broken before coronavirus ever arrived...[The virus] is a natural disaster. The [GOP’s] death-cult fealty to Trump is wholly man-made.” https://t.co/xGogQm3pP8 — PolitiTweet.org

Totally insane. A conspiracy of doctors to exaggerate the pandemic to hurt Trump’s re-election prospects? Talk about paranoid lunacy! And he’s still armed with the nuclear codes?!?! — PolitiTweet.org

The broad reach of the president’s power to pardon or commute coexists with Congress’s constitutional power to criminalize witness tampering or otherwise obstructing justice by using pardons or commutations to reward those who help a president cover up his misdeeds. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Congress must enact measures like @AdamSchiff’s “Abuse of the Pardon Power Act,” requiring disclosure of the investigative background of cases like Stone’s, as well as legislation making clear that trading a pardon or a commutation for silence is a crime https://t.co/9WtZxQ8kiz — PolitiTweet.org

As @SpeakerPelosi said, all roads from Trump lead to Moscow. Someday we’ll find out what Trump owes Putin and why Putin has such a stranglehold on Trump. But, whatever the reasons, the reality is undeniable — and unacceptable. https://t.co/wJ5Fgdi7bf — PolitiTweet.org

Whoa! Think long and hard before screwing with the Constitution to Trump-proof it. Sort of like redesigning cars to make them safe for three-year-olds to drive. Maybe better to install better brakes. — PolitiTweet.org
