These people are incorrigible as well as inhumane. They’ll profit from violating people’s rights as long as they can get away with it, legal limits be damned. Until we stop them — as SCOTUS did on inserting the citizenship question into the 2020 census: https://t.co/AwjCx2zMF6 — PolitiTweet.org

I imagine lots of my 560,000 or so followers are noncitizen immigrants — as I once was — so here’s a helpful primer on your rights, especially useful in the face of Trump’s threatened ICE raids. Please consider retweeting whether you’re a citizen or not: https://t.co/wJlDzBr7fH — PolitiTweet.org

Glad you resurrected this earlier tweet. Sometimes it sucks to have been right. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

That logic could come to the rescue, but my worry has been that I’ve yet to think of all the devious moves these scofflaws might attempt while Congress sleeps and SCOTUS ducks its responsibilities to protect a republican form of government. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Here’s a take on the census saga that zeros in well on the silver lining but that may be premature in celebrating the outcome: Too many immigrants have been spooked into the shadows. And sinister hints about future threats were dropped by henchman Barr. https://t.co/prDl6ZF7xZ — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

To be clear: The 2 threats are (1) exploiting the Evenwel v Abbot (2016) option to get more states to use eligible voters as the internal measure of 1 person/1 vote; (2) finding a sneaky way to allocate representation in Congress by counting only citizens in violation of 14th Am — PolitiTweet.org

The reddest state Legislatures are hardly independent of Trump and Trumpism, @marty_lederman. You’re living in a pre-Trump reality, I fear. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Little consolation there, @marty_lederman, given what Bill Barr claimed was an open question about counting “illegal aliens” and given Trump’s utter inconstancy. Dangerous to give him the benefit of the doubt as you’re doing here. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Agreed, @vanitaguptaCR. But they might be looking for end runs around even the “whole population” requirement for congressional districting too, hiding behind the SCOTUS refusal to review partisan gerrymandering in order to get away with murder. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Umm. Yes, it would be unconstitutional. The trick will be to catch them doing it — and to make them stop. — PolitiTweet.org

“Now they’re trying to erase a great word in our country, the word ‘citizen.’” Total BS. That’s our President speaking in the Rose Garden today (July 11), flanked by his goons Wilbur Ross and Bill Barr. But they have some scary stuff in mind, as Barr made plain in his mumbly way. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Scary subtext of the Rose Garden fiasco: Trump & Barr may try to get State Legislatures to draw congressional district lines by counting CITIZENS ONLY, rather than by counting ALL PERSONS. And they’ll use sources other than the CENSUS to do the data mining. Ominous. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

.@RuthMarcus just summed up Bill Barr’s bloated Rose Garden speech in five words: “Congratulations on losing, Mr. President.” — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Now it’s CRUCIAL that the House go to court to ENFORCE the damn subpoenas. Otherwise it’s just YAWN. . . — PolitiTweet.org

A good addendum to the LGBTQ brief @JoshuaMatz8 and I have submitted on behalf of Seth Waxman, Ted Olson, Walter Dellinger, Karen Dunn, and Neal Katyal in the SCOTUS Title VII case: https://t.co/JkPl7vxoGq — PolitiTweet.org

Ah, so the agents are a mite more human than the principal. — PolitiTweet.org

If true, this is a victory for law. But Trump might already have achieved his lawless aim of scaring communities of color into the shadows of the census. He uses fear and terror the way normal people breathe. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

.@JRubinBlogger’s crystal clear roadmap to Trump’s likely next census ploy, with some signposts from yours truly. Methinks POTUS is playing to his base by taunting the courts and daring Congress to do more than scold and plead . . . https://t.co/XmDergkajO — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

When you listen to Trump announce his census executive action, ask yourself: Who’s he talking to — and why? The Supreme Court? The district courts that have ordered him not to include a citizenship question? Or those in his base who like watching him fight minorities and judges? — PolitiTweet.org

And here’s a terrific review by @RicPatterson of the new movie, “The Great Hack.” A must read about a must see. https://t.co/pryEW2jwGh — PolitiTweet.org

“The committee on the judiciary has a constitutional obligation to investigate credible allegations of misconduct,” says @RepJerryNadler. Yes! This is inching toward an #ImpeachmentInquiryNow without using the “I” word that @SpeakerPelosi detests. https://t.co/UDjoouC0dz — PolitiTweet.org

You missed my tweet saying I plan to get used to it. Grammar evolves. The right to be treated with dignity and respect is constant. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

A misguided effort by my friend and colleague Larry @lessig to defend CJ Roberts’ tragic ruling shutting the doors of federal courts to the profoundly antidemocratic excesses of partisan gerrymandering. Justice Kagan’s dissent shreds this view. https://t.co/9wrkBfFrDT — PolitiTweet.org

To prepare for Trump’s anticipated Rose Garden executive announcement on the census, read this terrific @backermanyale essay on the why that announcement should be DOA. https://t.co/hr9WxJ8TVa — PolitiTweet.org
