.@RepJerryNadler deserves the nation’s gratitude for challenging McGahn’s blatant refusal to obey a lawful House subpoena when others were hesitant to call Trump’s bluff. When the history of out time is written, Nadler’s steadfast pursuit of principle will be remembered. — PolitiTweet.org

No big deal, in my view. A 10-day freeze in the status quo is par for the course — PolitiTweet.org

Here is Judge Jackson’s note 11: “For a similar vantagepoint, see the circumstances described by George Orwell in the acclaimed book Animal Farm. See George Orwell, Animal Farm 141(Otbe Book Publishing 2018) (“All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.”).” — PolitiTweet.org

Here is Judge Jackson’s 118-page decision rejecting the outlandish Trump DOJ claim that close presidential advisors enjoy absolute immunity vis-a-vis legitimate congressional subpoenas. Her ruling will likely be stayed but will surely be upheld on appeal. https://t.co/0QFm5QskHG — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Jackson’s citation to George Orwell’s Animal Farm in footnote 11 of her opinion is just what the outlandish Justice Department position deserved. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Judge Jackson rightly and predictably rejected Trump’s extreme claim that McGahn is absolutely immune from having to testify in response to a House subpoena because nobody is above the law. The tough issues of executive privilege remain. — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP “jurors” I’m hoping will follow where the evidence leads them are Romney, Collins, Murkowski, and Sasse or Alexander (or both). Even though that majority to convict wouldn’t remove Trump, it could make the difference in November 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Sacha Baron Cohen is worth listening to. Free speech doesn’t give Facebook the absolute immunity Zuckerberg claims. If the First Am doesn’t protect falsely yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater, it sure as hell doesn’t protect the violence-inspiring, hate-spewing lies FB spreads. — PolitiTweet.org

What a nest of hornets this WH is! That aside, it looks like Mulvaney is going down. And that he’s dragging Trump down with him. The only question is: How far? — PolitiTweet.org

Putin now says publicly“Thank God nobody is accusing us of meddling in the U.S. election anymore.” Privately he’s thanking not God but Trump. And Trump is thanking Putin. https://t.co/vHhb6Wi5QA — PolitiTweet.org

CAUTION: I do NOT know whether this is a reliable report. I am retweeting it only to encourage more broadly respected journalists to check it out. The charges are sufficiently explosive and sufficiently plausible to require further digging. https://t.co/kDUa7lrTz3 — PolitiTweet.org

Just remember: A president who would betray his oath of office by defying the election laws and directing all staffers to defy lawful congressional subpoenas will also betray every promise about your health care, your job, your pension, your well-being, your basic rights. — PolitiTweet.org

People need to ask themselves whether they’re fine with EVERY FUTURE PRESIDENT using the awesome powers of his or her office for personal benefit — including demanding a foreign government’s help to get reelected — not just with Donald Trump doing so. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s hoping Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is doing fine and will be released from the hospital this morning. Even if you don’t believe in the power of prayer 🙏🏼 it can’t hurt to try this once . . . — PolitiTweet.org

I’d interpret Article II’s delegation of the power to choose presidential electors so as to require the mode of selection to be fixed in advance and not subject to change after the state’s people have voted. That would close this dangerous loophole. https://t.co/HjXbncJduW — PolitiTweet.org

Actually, state constitutions might need to lock the legislatures in. Quite a challenge in the time remaining! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

State legislatures must be pressured before November 2020 to lock in their commitment to follow their pre-election rules for designating their presidential electoral slates https://t.co/HjXbncJduW — PolitiTweet.org

“Can the Supreme Court save itself from itself? We’re about to find out.“ I agree with this Linda Greenhouse column. I even share her cautious (short-term) optimism. Roberts rules! https://t.co/qigRrdAP6Z — PolitiTweet.org

If the Senate fails to do its duty, “the voters will serve as the court of appeals rendering their own final judgment on whether [Trump] has committed high crimes and misdemeanors.” https://t.co/RWiKF2hQZl — PolitiTweet.org

This piece expresses well why I, at least, found Fiona Hill’s testimony so moving and inspiring. She embodies the American idea. Trump negates it — as the #AntiPresident. https://t.co/3UlCKs5GDN — PolitiTweet.org
