This loony idea has no substance. The Senate cannot “dismiss” articles of impeachment that have been voted by the House but have yet to be filed in the Senate. Neither the Senate rules nor the Constitution permit any such move. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve heard some chatter that @senatemajldr McConnell could unilaterally begin an impeachment trial without waiting for @SpeakerPelosi to transmit the articles to the Senate. Not so.The standing Senate Rules preclude that option. Amending that rule would require a 2/3 majority. — PolitiTweet.org

Whut? Trump’s “opinion as a lawyer”? So now the dude is impersonating an attorney? — PolitiTweet.org

When the Chief Justice administers the oath of impartiality to a Senator who has said he will not be impartial, he will need to decide what his own oath demands — and whether he has jurisdiction to rule on a motion to recuse that Senator for cause. https://t.co/slWQa6XiKO — PolitiTweet.org

.@JoyceWhiteVance is right about the power of truth to triumph in the long run. But, as John Maynard Keynes famously said, “In the long run, we are all dead.” — PolitiTweet.org

As one of the originators of the idea of temporarily withholding the Articles of Impeachment from the Senate, I can say with 100% certainty that Trump’s accusation is totally baseless and nutty. It bears no connection at all to reality. https://t.co/yr6w3hflYo — PolitiTweet.org

As an aside, I note that @NoahRFeldman’s piece begins by referring to “Donald Trump’s impeachment by the House of Representatives.” Seems that Noah finally concedes that Trump has indeed been impeached. 😎 — PolitiTweet.org

I recommend @NoahRFeldman’s analysis of Trump’s possible defenses and the various legacies that his impeachment followed by non-conviction might portend — although I don’t agree with his assessment of “the strongest defense available.” https://t.co/eqky5KjBvX — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder who’s the most reviled man in this poll — and what it would tell us about the state of affairs if it turns out that the same man is both the most admired and the most reviled. https://t.co/5jCFvBf0Tl — PolitiTweet.org

This OMB Commander-in-Chief “argument” — the scare quotes are deliberate — is about as ludicrous as Trump’s notion that Article II gives him the magical power to do whatever he wants. — PolitiTweet.org

These new revelations put “McConnell in a tough spot, because it’s highly likely that additional evidence will come out after the GOP-led Senate acquits the president.” https://t.co/b3nJ2PDjjx — PolitiTweet.org

.@JoyAnnReid’s first hour on Dec 29 on MSNBC was about #impeachment. I thought it was very good, but I’m biased, having been her first guest for a full 10-minute gig. If you’re not already OD’d on the subject, be my guest: https://t.co/jYm98xStlr — PolitiTweet.org

LITTLE-NOTED LEGAL FACT: 18 USC §794 appears to make Trump’s decision to leak the Israeli agent’s identity to Russia a felony: that anti-espionage law is NOT limited to “classified” information, nor is a sitting president exempt from that crucial criminal statute. — PolitiTweet.org

“When religious nationalists [eg, Barr] invoke ‘religious freedom,’ it is typically code for religious privilege...the freedom of people of certain ... authoritarian varieties of religion to discriminate against those...over whom they wish to exert power” https://t.co/oMby2nszAy — PolitiTweet.org

This is just devastating. No wonder Trump would rather be caught obstructing Congress (Article II) than have these details (Article I) get out. https://t.co/QeA5mYYzYO — PolitiTweet.org
