For its part, the Justice Department appeared to relish Mr. Trump’s growing discomfort. “Plaintiff brought this civil, equitable proceeding,” it wrote. “He bears the burden of proof.” And it’s a burden he’s unable to bear. https://t.co/xjI9GT6UmY — PolitiTweet.org

This article says I thought this plaintiff “might” be able to show he’d be “better off if Biden’s plan were never created.” No! I explained that “no one is forcing him to apply” and that self-imposed harm clearly does NOT suffice for Art. III standing. https://t.co/DFj05eDsuK — PolitiTweet.org

I can personally attest that this book’s critique of Nadler’s role in making unwarranted demands of Pelosi and Schiff in the first Trump impeachment is entirely accurate. Nadler’s constitutional concerns were totally baseless, as I told him at the time. https://t.co/EINbIbmlnb — PolitiTweet.org

The Constitution repeatedly denounces “insurrection” and treats it as treason’s twin. Those who claim the Bill of Rights supports a right to tear down the government couldn’t be more wrong. @RepRaskin explains the point perfectly here: https://t.co/YPXDyy1Jo2 — PolitiTweet.org

Of course if the Biden loan forgiveness program would enable individuals like this plaintiff to avoid receiving the loan forgiveness that they fear the state would tax as income, then any harm would be self-inflicted and would not suffice to establish standing in a federal court. — PolitiTweet.org

The big weakness of this lawsuit is the strength of the statutory ground on which Biden's plan stands, both under the HEROES Act and under the Health & Education Act. But the plaintiff just might have standing to bring the suit even though it's a stretch. https://t.co/gCjC0738ro — PolitiTweet.org

That our legal system lets a murder victim's relatives weigh in on whether the murderer should live or die is yet another sign of how primitive and atavistic the death penalty remains. https://t.co/VHLil7z6QC — PolitiTweet.org

Of course @harrylitman is right, but "problematic for Trump" doesn't mean extremely problematic: his position when and if he's indicted for seditious conspiracy or insurrection will be that Rhodes et al were just fantasizing that they were doing his bidding. He wasn't their boss. — PolitiTweet.org

This 2d Circuit ruling was on weak ground despite the support of Biden’s DOJ, which didn’t reflect AG Garland’s finest hour. The odd concurrence by Judge Calabresi, who also spoke for the 2-1 majority, didn’t help. The DC Court of Appeals can and should hold against Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

This 2d Circuit ruling was on really weak ground despite the support of Biden’s DOJ, support that didn’t reflect AG Garland’s finest hour. Anyway the district court on remand can and should hold that Trump acted outside the scope of his employment in defaming E. Jean Carroll. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing. I wonder if Trump yanked the $3 million fee he’d agreed to pay Chris Kise? Or maybe he never actually paid Kise up front? Either way, quitting seems the only smart move Kise made since signing on with Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Insightful dissent by Justice Peter J. Rubin of the Massachusetts Appeals Court hits the nail on the head wrt prejudice against undocumented immigrants & why prosecutors shouldn’t be able to reveal an immigrant defendant's undocumented status to the jury. https://t.co/KZbMDoblDY — PolitiTweet.org

“If they do not want it to be your vote that determines who is in power, it means that they don’t want to have to use power to try to meet your needs, to try to earn your vote.” This is what election denial is all about. Rachel Maddow nails it. https://t.co/9Xj5SCxiKf — PolitiTweet.org

This Friday is the “put up or shut up” date for Donald Trump’s claim that the FBI planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago, per the Special Master, Judge Raymond Dearie. By then Trump must identify WHICH seized materials were “planted.” Yeah, right. — PolitiTweet.org

Unlike the New Mexico disqualification of a county commissioner under Sec 3 of the 14th Amendment, this Alaska disqualification under the state constitution is based purely on membership in a supposedly disloyal group and thus violates the 1st Amendment https://t.co/BOmT75HBwj — PolitiTweet.org
