Apart from its utterly devastating substance, Justice Kagan’s Seila Law v. CFPB dissent is brilliantly written as a conversation with the reader. E.g.: “The question here, which by now you’re well equipped to answer, is . . .” or “First, as I’m afraid you’ve heard before, . . .” — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Justice Kagan’s dissent in Seila Law v. CFPB leaves not a shred of Chief Justice Roberts’ analysis standing. There’s no good answer to her question: “How could it be that this opinion is a dissent?” It’s the most devastating opinion I can recall reading. Probably ever. — PolitiTweet.org

26 US House delegations are now in GOP hands despite Dem control of the House. But it’s the House we elect this Nov 3 & swear in on Jan 3 that will pick the next president on Jan 6 if nobody gets 270 electoral votes on Dec 14. So we’d better ID & focus on the key House seats NOW! — PolitiTweet.org

DEFCON 5: “We have an imperative to build a ‘people's firewall’ that reaches deeply across the country and reflects public revulsion at the potential for Trump to undermine our entire democratic system of governance.” THIS IS THE IMPENDING EMERGENCY 🚨 https://t.co/IyMYeYUYoC — PolitiTweet.org

This FT article by Edward Luce is a must read. It points to a likely constitutional crisis of legitimacy next January. Don’t read it before you’ve had your morning coffee. Have two cups. https://t.co/a5kUiyjCoS — PolitiTweet.org

Putin’s success in changing Russia’s constitution so he can stay president till 2036 must be Trump’s wet dream. — PolitiTweet.org

The only thing worse than a US president patting Putin on the butt for paying Contractor Azizi $100k for each American soldier Azizi kills in Afghanistan? Oh, maybe if that president stood to gain financially by letting Putin get away with those contract killings? But wait . . . — PolitiTweet.org

It didn’t bother Trump when his best bud the Saudi Prince chopped WaPo reporter #Khashoggi to pieces or when his idol Erdogan slaughtered our Kurdish allies. Is it really a surprise that he’s OK with his bff Putin paying $100k for each US troop’s head he leaves on Afghan soil? — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: A “perfect” record, not one black judge among the 53 he has appointed to the federal appeals courts! He probably thinks that proves black lawyers aren’t as good. His racism is undeniable. https://t.co/LdnDS7Qj54 — PolitiTweet.org

The number of confirmed new Coronavirus cases in U.S. topped 50,000 per day for the first time on July 1, and 45 of the 50 states have seven-day averages of new infections higher than they did last week. Trump: Nothing to see here. It’s all because we’ve gotten too good at math. — PolitiTweet.org

There are 203 more days in which we’ll suffer under a president more loyal to Russia than the U.S. — unless Senate Republicans signal to the House that they’re finally ready to save the Republic by conducting a real rather than phony impeachment trial and the House does its duty. — PolitiTweet.org

A Russian GRU unit evidently paid Taliban killers $100,000 per dead American — and Trump keeps kissing Putin’s ass. This would be unfathonable if it weren’t so characteristic of Trump’s loyalty to Putin and disloyalty to the United States of America. https://t.co/MYxWoaT0Rp — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Donald Trump now says he doesn’t believe our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia is paying bounties to Taliban who kill U.S. troops. Why not? Because . . . wait for it: Because Putin TOLD him Russia isn’t doing that. Shades of Helsinki. Can this really be happening? — PolitiTweet.org

After months of anti-mask messaging, Trump finally reversed himself today. “I’m all for masks,” he said, adding that he would wear one if he were in a crowded room and noting that he had a black one on recently. “I sort of liked the way I looked.” To Donnie, all is vanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Sad but true. No need to get hung up (yet, anyway) over whether Trump’s treachery literally crosses the line into “treason.” Either way, it’s beyond dispute that he’s not working for the American people but for himself and his foreign masters. — PolitiTweet.org

“The full story of why Trump won’t put the national interest first has yet to be told. But Trump has once again made it absolutely clear that this is very much not where his true loyalties lie.” @ThePlumLineGS nails it again. Trump is disloyal to America. https://t.co/DZjTG23xzw — PolitiTweet.org

“Trump is ... afflicted with a comprehensive & profound character disorder which leaves no corner of his psyche whole. And this dictates—and explains—every aspect of his behavior.” Here, @RicPatterson meticulously demonstrates how dangerously Ill Trump is. https://t.co/ZRhrSWFLiC — PolitiTweet.org
