Read this splendid piece by @jentaub. If Trump could read to the end, he’d learn a thing or two. But that’s probably too much to hope for. https://t.co/VW9lj0gaIA — PolitiTweet.org

So worth listening to especially at a time when the nation is in the grips of a vengeful, unforgiving president who abuses the tools of forgiveness regularly, forgiving Putin and Flynn, Arpaio and Stone, or the killer of George Floyd, but not even the exonerated Central Park Five — PolitiTweet.org

Something one could’ve found among Trump’s scribbles:”I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the stable genius for which it stands, one nation, under Trump, with power and wealth for all who follow the leader’s creed & crumbs for all the losers.” — PolitiTweet.org

Watch this ad. It’s a great reminder of how dangerous Trump’s Jihad against the free press really is. Dictators demonize, then gradually destroy, the watchdog media so they can control what we all can see, hear, read, write, and say. Once they do that, freedom is dead. — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe, but how in the world did we ever admit anyone so dense? — PolitiTweet.org

Only 67% disapprove? I’d have hoped that number would’ve hit 87% by now. I guess there’ll always be a core group of 33% who’d approve even if Trump decided to NUKE the virus into oblivion — along with everyone and everything else. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s embarrassing that Kayleigh has a Harvard Law degree. https://t.co/zHsLtBTf9D — PolitiTweet.org

Right. The spin that Trump “won” because his tax returns remain hidden is BS. These cases were never about exposing his taxes to public view before the election. They were about the wall Trump claimed shields him from investigation. 7-2, SCOTUS held: NO SUCH WALL EXISTS. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

.@neal_katyal is 💯 % right. The pair of 7-2 decisions against Trump was no “mixed bag or “Solomonic compromise” or anything of the sort. It was as resounding a defeat for Trump as the law made possible and a marvelous victory for the principle that NO-ONE is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

“I’m feeling more and more as if we’re all trapped on the Titanic — except this time the captain is a madman who insists on steering straight for the iceberg. And his crew is too cowardly to contradict him, let alone mutiny to save the passengers.” https://t.co/jpi9FFitAu — PolitiTweet.org

Brilliant piece by @gtconway3d. You MUST READ this to see what’s unraveling for Donald J. Trump — and why 👇🏼 https://t.co/OiSWnE5Xme — PolitiTweet.org

“This was a clean and total win for Vance and a devastating loss for Trump, not just of the case but of his anti-democratic conception of the American presidency.” https://t.co/DqLC3SrE3H — PolitiTweet.org

“For the country, the court vindicated the rule of law. But for Donald Trump personally, his niece’s book and the Supreme Court’s decision may someday be remembered as the beginning of the end of his institutional protections.” https://t.co/OiSWnE5Xme — PolitiTweet.org

“On the far end of the Trail of Tears was a promise. Forced to leave their ancestral lands in Georgia and Alabama, the Creek Nation received assurances... We hold the government to its word,” Justice Gorsuch wrote in a 5-4 decision. Guess who joined him? https://t.co/xWphXgRrhm — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

But Kavanaugh and Gorsuch agreed with the 7-2 majority in both cases and NO justice bought the Trump/Barr “I’m totally immune” BS. So “conservative” must now mean “Whatever you want, Mein Feuhrer.” — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Dumb as well as cruel, promulgated illegally and without really considering the adverse consequences or the constitutional issues. Typical Trumpestry. https://t.co/naE15iKtNX — PolitiTweet.org

“The standards proposed by the President and the Solicitor General—if applied outside the context of privileged information—would risk seriously impeding Congress in carrying out its responsibilities.” So Congress needn’t meet the high bar of US v Nixon! https://t.co/peGl1MEpQv — PolitiTweet.org

.@JRubinBlogger’s work is indeed excellent. But she graduated first in her law school class at UC-Berkeley, so she’s not exactly a “nonlawyer.” And her piece is bolstered by @JoshuaMatz8, a great lawyer in his own right. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The Vance case should be expedited in the lower courts. If the Nixon tapes case could be decided in three months and Bush v. Gore could be decided in one month, this really should not drag out beyond the November election. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

All nine justices expressly rejected President Trump’s extravagant claim backed by Bill Barr that a sitting president cannot be forced by subpoena to turn over documents sought in a criminal investigation of his conduct. No-one is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

“The Constitution does not entitle the president to absolute immunity or a heightened standard.” — Chief Justice Roberts, writing for the 7-2 Court in Vance v. Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This pair of decisions denying absolute presidential immunity is bad news for Don McGahn’s position in the DC Circuit that he has absolute immunity from having to testify, but his case raises distinct issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The SCOTUS decision involving Congress’s subpoenas is likewise 7-2 and went as far against Trump as it plausibly could have. It did direct the lower courts to apply a tougher standard when Congress seeks presidential materials, but that’s as I and most other experts predicted. — PolitiTweet.org
