I have the same question for @MittRomney as @Mimirocah1 has: what does Mitt know about the federal crime of obstruction of justice than nearly 1000 former federal prosecutors — and Mini and I — don’t know? — PolitiTweet.org

If you favor rape and incest exceptions (as almost everyone, including Trump, does), then you can’t really believe the first-trimester fetus is a person with rights. Innocent people obviously can’t lose the right to life because they were conceived by a criminal sexual assault. — PolitiTweet.org

.@dsallentess is clearly right, but we’d make a big mistake if we thought we could avoid grappling with the political dimension of the constitutional #impeachment process by just clearing up people’s confusion https://t.co/GFY9l8A6ou — PolitiTweet.org

I’m with @JillWineBanks on the bottom line — but more as a matter of principle than as a matter of political prognosis https://t.co/ClRaMECAJO — PolitiTweet.org

NOTE: Murphy needn’t stand in the way of the kind of federal law @ewarren has proposed to preserve the rights protected under Roe v. Wade: a preemptive commerce clause regulation of certain medical facilities and those who provide or access their services. — PolitiTweet.org

MEMO TO DEMS: In Murphy v. NCAA (5/14/18), SCOTUS held Congress can neither mandate nor forbid state legislatures to regulate private conduct but can only regulate that conduct directly. Keep that in mind when planning to preempt state anti-abortion laws. https://t.co/nj8KsizWiy — PolitiTweet.org

“Impeachment is a constitutional process meant to restore good government and thus our faith in it;...impeachment suggests hope, the glimmering hope of a better time coming, and a means for making that happen, peacefully, reasonably and with dignity.” https://t.co/e8B7MsbDKC — PolitiTweet.org

My book w/ @JoshuaMatz8, “To End A Presidency: The Power of Impeachment,” likewise shows why Andrew Johnson’s impeachment was worth the effort despite his acquittal by the Senate. So too with Trump. It’s time to begin impeachment proceedings NOW ⬇️ https://t.co/e8B7MsbDKC — PolitiTweet.org

A brilliant essay by @emorwee: The cruelty to women IS the point. Pretending to be shocked that it’s them, not just the doctors, who’re being punished deprives women of agency — yet again. Read this if you don’t get that yet: https://t.co/WeQz1w0iDn — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the 65th anniversary of Brown v. Bd of Educ. Yet while we celebrate this anniversary and its beneficial impact on millions of Americans, Trump has nominated and McConnell’s Senate has confirmed numerous judicial nominees who REFUSE to say Brown was correctly decided. Sad — PolitiTweet.org

In this piece, I tell @JRubinBlogger: “Barr’s self-contradictions are piling up around him. Just when it seems his once-estimable reputation as a straight-shooter couldn’t be any more thoroughly ground down, it goes through the shredder yet again.” https://t.co/NQQAia0das — PolitiTweet.org

If the Supreme Court finally grants review in Klein v. Oregon Bureau of Labor, I expect it to overrule Oregon v. Smith in 2020 and reinstate the pre-1990 strength of constitutionally mandated religious exemptions from generally applicable neutral rules https://t.co/OL8eN3TkS2 — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration’s ostensible First Amendment reasons for opting out of this important anti-terrorist effort are completely bogus. Here’s why: https://t.co/UPOg7Ax7CV — PolitiTweet.org

“The powers legally available to a corrupt president and a party that has turned a blind eye to his violations of governing norms may be more terrifying than anybody has considered.” Add those ILLEGALLY available and you get quite an arsenal. . . https://t.co/3K2F0UcqxW — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with @adamliptak. As I see it, the biggest threat to Roe isn't bomb-tossing laws like Alabama's but a combination of strict (and phony) "women's health" requirements and heartbeat or brainwave laws all but banning abortion after six to ten weeks https://t.co/9WOyrrCWW1 — PolitiTweet.org

From @BretStephensNYT on China: treat it as an adversary, not an enemy; recognize it is a nation and a civilization, not just a regime ; use containment with off-ramps. Wise counsel. https://t.co/R8uEDAuxIc — PolitiTweet.org

Trump wants us to think he welcomes being impeached. But everything he wants people to believe is a lie. Why assume this is an exception? And why give a damn what he welcomes, anyway? We should do what we should do, Trump’s wishes be damned. — PolitiTweet.org

Exactly. Trump has betrayed his oath, his office, our Constitution, and our country. That he isn’t technically a traitor is small consolation. Every day he wields the power of the presidency is another day of danger to the republic. Every day is one day too many. — PolitiTweet.org

As I told @HuffPost, I doubt “the Supreme Court will even take the case if the 11th Circuit upholds a ruling from the district court blocking the [Alabama] law.” My prediction: “This clumsy gambit will be a total flop.” https://t.co/IYFWC4lZ9u — PolitiTweet.org
