Let’s just pray that Chief Justice Roberts pays attention to reality in the #Census2020 case — including the reality that the Court’s reputation for integrity and independence can’t take too many more hits without suffering severe long-term harm https://t.co/OCLyoC9rgO — PolitiTweet.org

The Framers’ reasons to keep SCOTUS out of presidential impeachments: Its judges might be beholden to whoever put them there; they might have to rule later on appeals from post-removal criminal convictions; a body so small may be too easy to corrupt; its prestige might be too low — PolitiTweet.org

In Walter Nixon v US, 506 US 224 (1993), the Supreme Court held that the Court has no role to play in the process or review of impeachment hearings or trials even when a federal judge rather than the president is the subject. When it’s the president the Framers were even clearer. — PolitiTweet.org

Giving the Supreme Court a role in the impeachment process itself was carefully considered but deliberately and emphatically discarded by the Framers in 1787, as my 2018 book (coauthored with @JoshuaMatz8) on impeachment (released this March in paperback) fully explains. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump thinks that — having stolen one SCt seat for Gorsuch and installed as a second justice one Kavanaugh whose confirmation hearing should’ve disqualified him — he now has a “get out of jail free” card and a “stay in power forever” card in the Marble Palace. No way, Donald. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s idiocy won’t serve him well as we move through the #impeachment process. Not even a SCOTUS filled with Trump appointees would get in the way of the House or Senate, where CJ Roberts would preside over Trump’s Impeachment Trial. My book with @JoshuaMatz8 lays it all out. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump might as well tell Putin, “Be my guest, Vlad: Screw American democracy again. Even if my intell people find out, you can count on me to bury the truth and do nothing so nobody’ll think I needed your help raping my clueless country.” Impeachable? Yes. https://t.co/6zXGmby4GI — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump seems to be daring the House of Representatives to copy, and then vote for, the Contempt of Congress Article of Impeachment approved decades ago against Richard Nixon (Art. III). https://t.co/LcV66jcixR — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
Trump is laying down the gauntlet on impeachment by taking this outlandish position. He is all but telling Congress that, as president, he’s free to disregard its existence. It’s like saying 2 > 1 so the Art. II Branch Trumps the Art. I Branch. Insane. https://t.co/LcV66jcixR — PolitiTweet.org

This isn’t just a roadmap for impeachment on ten counts of obstruction of justice; it’s as complete and impressive a roadmap as I’ve ever seen. A hyper-GPS roadmap on super-steroids. https://t.co/zHDHG1mCci — PolitiTweet.org

This isn’t a “legal” argument at all and barely pretends to be. It’s a dictator’s pout or a tantrum masquerading as an argument. It’s certainly not based on genuine executive privilege. https://t.co/LcV66jcixR — PolitiTweet.org

By dragging the McGahn subpoena into court to run out the clock, Trump might force the hand of @RepJerryNadler and leave him little choice but to pull the impeachment trigger without full hearings. That would be most unfortunate. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s lawyers can fight — but they have no legal ammo to fight with. Executive privilege was clearly waived when The Donald told Don McGahn to spill all to Mueller. So they’d be shooting with blanks. No there there. Nada. Zip. https://t.co/AJh3UD7XHq — PolitiTweet.org

”It’s useful for Democrats to underscore the outrageousness of the abuses Mueller found by calling for impeachment while Democrats in charge of the inquiries say, as [they] did on Sunday, they’ll reserve judgment while they sift through the facts.” https://t.co/SD1KMOds2Y — PolitiTweet.org

I explained my agreement with this position in USA Today several days ago. It’ll be in the paper edition tomorrow morning April 24. Impeachment is indeed a process, not an outcome. And it’s a Constitution-mandated process the Mueller report has triggered https://t.co/yagdD510F7 — PolitiTweet.org

That’s an incorrect reading of the Pardon Clause. The relevant language merely prevents the president from using the pardon power to prevent or undo impeachment by the House or conviction by the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

The @RepJerryNadler subpoena to McGahn shows that the House Judiciary Committee means business even if it’s resisting the pressure to give its hearings their proper name: “Hearings on Whether to Impeach Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.” https://t.co/SrmmyAnm2y — PolitiTweet.org
