So even the most extreme cases of partisan gerrymandering are now beyond correction by the federal courts. State courts, here we come — unless we’re ready to abandon the principle that voters choose their representatives rather than the other way around. https://t.co/srXfmrYmxk — PolitiTweet.org

I’m assuming the 2003 ex post facto holding of Stogner v. CA (5-4) was mistaken and would be overruled today as to rapes committed in NY prior to the state’s 2006 elimination of the SOL for rape. Only Breyer & Ginsburg remain from the Stogner majority. Kennedy wrote the dissent. — PolitiTweet.org

.@JulianCastro was right to see this tragedy as proof that we must repeal Section 1325: decriminalize illegal border crossings. Sometimes being wonky is what’s called for. Castro had a breakout night. https://t.co/0JoAHPB3ud — PolitiTweet.org

If what’s quoted below is true, Trump raped a woman in NYC in 1995 or 96. There is no time limit in NY on criminal prosecution for rape — even if the woman doesn’t call it that, even if the perp becomes president, and even if 60 million voters don’t care. https://t.co/SPRBpV3vJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Listening just now to Trump’s bombastic answer when asked how seeing this tragic picture made him feel, I realized fully that this man is the walking dead. He truly has no soul. What have we done? Can we ever be forgiven for “electing” him? https://t.co/0JoAHPB3ud — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has opened the door to House questioning that will leave Bob Mueller no alternative but to demolish GOP efforts to accuse him of wrongdoing and to tarnish his entire inquiry with blatant lies about his handling of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Dumb! https://t.co/syft7K1eyL — PolitiTweet.org

This federal court ensured that “the Trump strategy of denying, delaying, deflecting, and dissembling while continuing to defy the Constitution has all but run its course and that the chickens are finally coming home to roost,” as I told @JRubinBlogger ⬇️ https://t.co/XaYEiKLx75 — PolitiTweet.org

A useful reminder of how Anglo-American impeachment proceedings have reined in dictatorial chief executives even when conviction and removal were beyond reach: https://t.co/hkiiqFjLyW — PolitiTweet.org

This is pernicious and foolish advice, based on a total misconception of the special counsel’s role (as contrasted with the role of an FBI Director or ordinary prosecutor), and thankfully too silly to influence Mueller one bit. https://t.co/E3RZvoAWBN — PolitiTweet.org

To @IvankaTrump and @FLOTUS: You’re both mothers. I’m sure this makes you grieve. You’re both accomplished businesswomen. Please go to the border and use your organizing skills to DO SOMETHING about this human tragedy. PLEASE! https://t.co/0JoAHPB3ud — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. Trump — I can’t look at this picture and call you Mr. President — this is on you. May it be seared into your pathetic memory until your dying day: https://t.co/0JoAHPB3ud — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t be fooled: Trump’s DOJ is trying to set things up so that the Court can create the phony impression of moderation by leaving open the equal protection question the DOJ outrageously asked it to resolve without briefing or argument! https://t.co/bPHtBCYbQD — PolitiTweet.org

July 17’s Joint Hearing of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees under @RepAdamSchiff & @RepJerryNadler should become the first of a series of public hearings into the Mueller Report, Presidential Misconduct, and Whether to Censure, Condemn, or Impeach Donald J. Trump — PolitiTweet.org

Great idea. Include your neighbors. See how far you can get into reading aloud all the evidence of collusion and obstruction before you’re ready to puke. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a definitive legal shredding of the Trump administration’s latest effort to concoct an obstacle to Congress’s powers of inquiry: “alter ego immunity.” I’m tempted to call it “egomaniac immunity,” but I’ll refrain. https://t.co/kcgd7WbehU — PolitiTweet.org

Well, I’ll be FUCT! Curious that Roberts, Breyer, and Sotomayor were the trio of dissenters from Kagan’s vindication of 1st Amendment rights against the Trump DOJ’s claim that government can deny a trademark for a streetwear clothing line called FUCT 😎 https://t.co/5tT5dBAjry — PolitiTweet.org
