“Talking Constitution” shouldn’t depart too radically from talking English. It’s a legal text, yes, but its meaning should be accessible to nonlawyers. Recall John Marshall’s words in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819). — PolitiTweet.org

Fun to keep this going, @NoahRFeldman, and I do respect you greatly, but I still disagree — and this academic dispute will soon become moot. If it doesn’t, let’s resume. Till then, I want maximum moral pressure on McConnell. — PolitiTweet.org

Nice of you to compliment my book, @NoahRFeldman, but what you call impeachment’s “core” mistakes a part for the whole, a classic logical and, in this case, textual error. Had Nixon resigned right after rather than before the House impeached him, surely he’d’ve been “impeached.” — PolitiTweet.org

.@chrislhayes makes the great point that, even when it comes to honoring a deceased giant of Congress John Dingell and respecting his widow, Trump demands a quid pro quo. — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
.@NoahRFeldman is making a clever but wholly mistaken point when he says Trump hasn’t “really” been impeached until the Articles reach the Senate. Under Art. I, Sec. 2, Clause 5, he was impeached on Dec 18, 2019. He will forever remain impeached. Period. https://t.co/FkwTNG5fiV — PolitiTweet.org

The McGahn case is NOT rendered moot by Trump’s impeachment. But DOJ’s contrary argument is predictable. Read in The Hill: https://t.co/AyOI99wP97 — PolitiTweet.org

.@gtconway3d is clearly right about what no court would ever do. But it’d be wrong to attribute to @SpeakerPelosi some scheme to withhold the articles of impeachment forever — not that George Conway is doing that. — PolitiTweet.org
George Conway @gtconway3d
No court is ever going to enjoin the House to send managers over to the Senate to exhibit articles of impeachment. https://t.co/ffRMz2PxOR

There are no options. Trump desperately needs a Senate trial that acquits him. The irony is that the Potemkin pseudo-trial McConnell is offering him can’t deliver anything but an OJ pseudo-acquittal. — PolitiTweet.org

Why do we need more pretrial assurances than in 1999? Because neither Trent Lott nor Tom Daschle did what McConnell has done: pledged to violate his oath of impartiality by letting the defense call the shots. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump explains why he believes Ukraine, not Russia, messed with the 2016 election: “Because Putin told me.” Okay, then. It must be true. https://t.co/1uZfaKrm0w — PolitiTweet.org

Read this and think about all the ways in which it’s an understatement. All the ways someone willing to do what Trump has done can injure you as an ordinary citizen. Think of cyber attacks he can orchestrate with foreign help. The prospects are limitless. https://t.co/oUh27cSX9C — PolitiTweet.org

“We cannot name managers until we see what the process is on the Senate side,” @SpeakerPelosi said. https://t.co/2YQWx9Oob0 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s more complex than that. @SpeakerPelosi stressed in her press conference this morning that these Articles of Impeachment, once voted, would make Trump’s crimes against the Constitution an “established fact,” not just probable cause to justify a Senate trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Two perceptive observations by @chrislhayes & @HardballChris: Not one member defended Trump’s character, and no Republican so much as criticized his conduct or admitted that presidents shouldn’t do what he did. — PolitiTweet.org
