A state legislature is empowered by Art. II to specify that its presidential Electors must be selected in a manner that ensures that the candidate they represent will have made the past five years of his or her income tax returns fully public by October 1 of the election year. — PolitiTweet.org

MEMO TO STATE LEGISLATORS: To reduce risk of constitutional invalidation of these tax disclosure requirements, states should use their power to choose Electors in Nov 3 presidential election. Much less vulnerable than trying to filter out at primary ballot stage. — Laurence Tribe — PolitiTweet.org

Among AG Bill Barr’s crimes, not technically but realistically, is garden-variety theft: stealing taxpayers’ money for representing Donald Trump personally rather than representing the American people. Barr was hired to work for us. He’s not doing that. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

“The Trump pardon of Sheriff Arpaio was a license to violate the civil rights of refugees and immigrants and to defy judicial orders to obey the law. The courts should strike down this blatant abuse of the pardon power.” — Laurence Tribe — PolitiTweet.org

The system may be “working,” as @neal_katyal says. But that sets a low Barr (pun intended) for what “working” means. The question remains: What kind of country will we be after the dust settles? How & when will decency and respect for truth be restored? https://t.co/At51wrrjZS — PolitiTweet.org

Barr testified today that all a president needs if he wants to end an investigation into his own criminal conduct is a belief that he’s innocent. That suffices to clear him of all charges of obstructing justice. No kidding. No wonder Barr didn’t need to read the Mueller evidence! — PolitiTweet.org

Reality check on holding people in contempt of Congress: not so easy to enforce (if the Executive Branch won’t prosecute) without dusting off some pretty wobbly precedents. But “not so easy” doesn’t mean impossible . . . https://t.co/RNOYzNWrqX — PolitiTweet.org

He’s as worthless a witness as he is an attorney general. Subpoena his sorry ass, hold him in contempt when he’s a no-show, but don’t waste time over him. Call Mueller, McGahn, people who haven’t sold their souls and can help the nation get to the truth. https://t.co/Ke6TRqzrPa — PolitiTweet.org
