And because Kavanaugh wrote the decision the DC Circuit rebuked, he’s bound to recuse, making a SCOTUS reversal highly unlikely — though I wouldn’t rule out an en banc setback by the full circuit court — PolitiTweet.org

The only thing more hollow than the sound of one hand clapping for legislation we know will die in the Senate is the sound of total silence linked to the lame excuse that the Senate won’t do its duty. An impeachment hearing & guilty verdict are things the House can do all alone. — PolitiTweet.org

“Let others debate whether impeachment proceedings are ‘good for Democrats’ or are ‘playing into Trump’s hands,’ or whether they ‘will tank the 2020 race.’ As [a believer in the Constitution], I know we must . . . impose consequences for lawlessness.” https://t.co/FKR1GxYGS0 — PolitiTweet.org

“Our democracy is worth saving, so we must begin the impeachment inquiry. . . He will be judged on his words and deeds, and either way, justice will be served. But inaction is no longer an option.” https://t.co/FKR1GxYGS0 — PolitiTweet.org

“Trump is inviting foreigners to attack our elections, again. Our democracy is still reeling from Russia’s 2016 attack. We cannot weather another blow, particularly one that our own president encourages.” https://t.co/FKR1GxYGS0 — PolitiTweet.org

The ironclad case for impeachment is that every day he remains in power he is a mortal danger to the United States. Punish him later, through the criminal process. But begin the process of EXPELLING him immediately — by starting an #ImpeachmentInquiryNow https://t.co/8FcxTiKB8z — PolitiTweet.org

This is the worst kind of emergency: one for which the Constitution provides no remedy, given the uselessness of the 25th Amendment for such situations. https://t.co/NqOtgGpQD2 — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone who thinks Trump won the 2016 election fair and square is either totally uninformed or doesn’t believe there’s any such thing as reality. I thank heaven the American people are too decent and smart to have elected that evil moron their leader. I still believe in America. — PolitiTweet.org

“When Hillary fell ill [on 9/11/16], Russian bots massively amplified the scale of the event, creating a trend on Twitter under the hashtag #HilaryDown.” @TimothyDSnyder, “The Road To Unfreedom” (2018), pg. 230. That’s one of MILLIONS of instances of cyberdistortion by Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump won No. Carolina’s 15 electoral votes in 2016. His margin over HRC was 173k out of 4.7m votes cast, of which 200k went to third parties. Russian intelligence hacks shut down countless voting machines in North Carolina cities, where Dems predominate. Get it? — PolitiTweet.org

This revealing @ThePlumLineGS narrative of Russiagate needs to be brought to life in vivid detail and full color on network television that will grab the nation’s attention in an #ImpeachmentInquiryNow — PolitiTweet.org

In 2016, Alexei Pushkov, chair of the foreign relations committee of the Russian Duma — the lower house of its parliament— boasted that, as president, “Trump can lead the Western locomotive right off the rails.” @TimothyDSnyder, The Road To Unfreedom (2018) p.218. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the 76th anniversary of West Virginia Bd of Ed v. Barnette, the SCOTUS decision holding that public schools can’t punish kids who refuse to recite the pledge of allegiance to the American flag. Trump would make them pledge allegiance to him personally. Hail Trump. Ugh. — PolitiTweet.org

POTUS “said he has such a [great] relationship with Kim . . . that he wouldn’t let the CIA spy on the North Korean despot. [Then he] said that if a foreign country provided information to him on his political opponents, ‘Oh, I think I’d take it.’” 👎🏻 https://t.co/tvtWBU7HfQ — PolitiTweet.org

“That Trump has no loyalty to his country, its institutions and the integrity of its elections is not surprising. That he feels no need to fake it is alarming.” Waiting another moment before starting impeachment hearings is folly. https://t.co/i5wjaZQcnj — PolitiTweet.org

This is how democracies die and dictatorships arise: yesterday Trump says he’s free to violate the campaign finance laws, today free to violate the Hatch Act, all as his DOJ is filing a brief saying Congress has no power to investigate his lawbreaking. — PolitiTweet.org

Some people evidently need help getting the theory: If foreign adversary F helps candidate P become president by giving P dirt, true or false, against P’s opponent O, then P owes F, which means F owns P. So F can get P to bend US policy in its own favor, hurting USA. QED. — PolitiTweet.org

Everything Trump does — like saying he’d happily become indebted to a foreign adversary in exchange for dirt on his political opponent— that doesn’t trigger an impeachment inquiry just normalizes his dangerous conduct. — PolitiTweet.org
