.@SpeakerPelosi’s exact words were: “If the goods are there you must impeach.” But she’s against even an impeachment inquiry. So she evidently doesn’t see the collusion and obstruction already shown by the Mueller report as impeachable offenses. If she does, she should say so. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SpeakerPelosi now seems to be saying that Trump’s obvious collusion with Russia’s attack on the 2016 election — and his corrupt efforts to prevent that collusion’s discovery — just aren’t impeachable offenses. If that’s her view, she’s all wrong. Dangerously wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

When there’s a will . . . Maybe the Senate, having discovered the makings of a backbone, will seek the pleasure of using it again. And again! https://t.co/YcSmh8YwFX — PolitiTweet.org

My hope: SCOTUS will DIG (dismiss as improvidently granted) the big census case, as Linda Greenhouse sensibly predicts it might. Fingers crossed! https://t.co/AfY184z0Ol — PolitiTweet.org

So glad WSJ published this important piece by the publisher of its rival NYT. By doing so, the Journal underscored how this fundamental threat to freedom of the press — and thus to a republican form of government — transcends all such petty divisions https://t.co/UdBz05KhAg — PolitiTweet.org

HR 40 just calls for a Commission to STUDY the reparations issue. How can anybody be against at least doing THAT? https://t.co/XnT2pgse85 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The risk Dems take by not starting an #ImpeachmentInquiryNOW is that courts will be less likely to rule for the House to compel testimony and to expedite their rulings. Maybe those Dems WANT to drag this out? If so, that’s a terrible idea. https://t.co/RJvRG7s5ai — PolitiTweet.org

As a lifelong admirer of @SpeakerPelosi I’m profoundly disappointed in her one-dimensional approach to the impeachment process. I don’t doubt her patriotism — or her good intentions. But the road to hell is paved with the best intentions. https://t.co/KCCSlmFgoS — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

“Impeachment or nothing” might sound courageous but is in truth just an excuse for letting chaotic, half-hearted investigations substitute for a coherent #ImpeachmentInquiryNow, which would give the House several paths to follow once all the facts are in https://t.co/EhiQzuakhm — PolitiTweet.org

Claiming “executive privilege” to hide even the *physical location* of Hope Hicks’ former office in the White House?!? Gimme a break. Like the 13th chime of a clock: makes you doubt everything that came before. Trump’s strategy has to be: Delay the inevitable judicial loss. — PolitiTweet.org

“Her refusal to answer is based on [a] bogus...newly invented, very broad immunity, that you can never be asked anything about anything you ever did while you worked for the president, which is an absurdity …. This will ultimately be decided by a court.” https://t.co/9p3HF80R6d — PolitiTweet.org

.@gtconway3d is right. @SpeakerPelosi is wrong. It’s not even close. And I’m a lifelong Pelosi fan. — PolitiTweet.org

Grammatical error, surely. @EricTrump must mean “Our lives are,” not “His life is.” — PolitiTweet.org

The responsibility of Saudi Crown Prince MbS for this murder has been clear for some time. What needs to be uncovered is what Trump & Kushner had to gain financially by helping MbS cover up his — and their — complicity. I’d follow the nuclear deals. https://t.co/S7gcHeScNe — PolitiTweet.org

As this piece argues, it’s crucial not to learn the wrong lessons from the past. https://t.co/qhepPaaP0D — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This claim of “immunity” is laughable. No such immunity exists. Not even close. https://t.co/BHXvgwWGXd — PolitiTweet.org

Are you old enough to remember when Trump promised he’d pick only the best to run the government? Who can blame him for missing a little thing like an attempt to justify a baseball bat attack on an unarmed woman? https://t.co/3BZWvb6m8J — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Every local newspaper in every swing state needs to consider in-endorsing Trump for President in 2020. The Orlando Sentinel can start a trend! https://t.co/lIabObQEC4 — PolitiTweet.org

Why blame the WH for failing to provide legal authority for its preposterous claim? There is none, after all. So what should we expect? That they make stuff up? So unfair! — PolitiTweet.org

A profoundly important essay on why it’s legitimate — and NOT unprincipled— for Supreme Court Justices to consider how their legal rulings will affect the Court’s public legitimacy — and on when such considerations are misguided. You MUST READ this. https://t.co/KtmlKaWI37 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Of course that’s what he believes. No surprise there. But it’ll take five Justices to overrule Obergefell v. Hodges and strip same-sex marriage of constitutional protection. My bet: It’ll never happen. Odds that Roe v. Wade will be (essentially) overruled are much higher. — PolitiTweet.org
