“I admit to being taken aback by this blithe, public disregard for the lives of women, including women suffering the loss of wanted pregnancies.” Maybe the cruelty is the point! https://t.co/PoyYcvDFKL — PolitiTweet.org

That's what the evidence appears to show beyond a reasonable doubt. That puts Trump in violation of 18 USC 2383, conviction of which renders someone incapable of ever "holding any office under the United States" and subjects the defendant to up to ten years in federal prison. — PolitiTweet.org

Based on what I know, I think a suit by Dominion Voting Systems against Donald Trump for defamation would be very strong and could result in liability in the billion-dollar range, if not multibillion-dollar range. Let's just say it would get Trump's attention. — PolitiTweet.org

Hard to disagree with @briantylercohen here. Let's pray DOJ doesn't put optics above reality. — PolitiTweet.org

The horrendous medical problems created by the extreme anti-abortion laws that have sprung up in the wake of Dobbs represent just part of the huge human cost the Alito Five have inflicted on millions of people. Unless the cruelty was the point of it all, they should be shocked. — PolitiTweet.org

Huzzah! Let's hope SCOTUS doesn't touch this case!! — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s @AymanMSNBC interviewing me on Sunday about how the current Court is dangerously imposing a religious view to take reproductive liberty away from women for the first time in 50 years: https://t.co/WStg7L3RKe — PolitiTweet.org

@maddow’s breathless release of Garland’s May 25, 2022 memo was way overblown. Plenty of sensitive DOJ investigations have been quietly launched after its release. @BarbMcQuade will explain soon. Stay tuned. — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with Greg and Judge Luttig but would emphasize that repairing the Electoral Count Act would leave important work to be done if democracy is to survive. Those who will do anything to seize power need to be deprived of the bogus "independent state legislature" tool as well. — PolitiTweet.org

@rbhubbell’s calls on @POTUS to #FireGarlandNow are Ill-considered. Even assuming Garland won’t do what’s needed — which I’m still unwilling to assume — who could get confirmed in his place? What Acting AG would have the clout to indict Trump and weather the ensuing firestorm? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Crusading but not swashbuckling. I refuse to give up all hope that Garland will yet rise to the occasion. But I can’t pretend to have any confidence that he will. I’m determined to stay fiercely agnostic. Until I can’t any longer. . . . — PolitiTweet.org

@AshaRangappa_ is right. Treating the Trump coup attempt and violent insurrection as garden-variety federal crimes requiring standard operating procedures would be sheer insanity. Like making sure the Titanic’s toilets flush properly. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

One way to read Garland’s May 2022 directive: He’s reminding us all that the buck stops with him on any DOJ decision to target Trump for prosecution once Trump announces his candidacy. But that also means the buck stops with Garland on any decision to give Trump a pass. — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Simpson has it right. A “vicious animal who has poisoned our democracy.” That’s Trump, all right. — PolitiTweet.org

“A federal statute ought to protect clinician conscience in principled ways — not only for those who deny care, but also for those who deliver it. . .If lawmakers won’t protect conscientious providers, then judges should.”  https://t.co/0f7cfGMwT8 — PolitiTweet.org

To AG Garland: Mr. Trump is counting on your concerns about not “appearing” political when he makes clear his belief that you wouldn’t dare approve his indictment once he announces. You MUST prove him wrong. Make him a TARGET now. No time to lose. https://t.co/aO8OsSQlep — PolitiTweet.org

On MSNBC tonight at 8 pm ET, @AymanMSNBC will ask me about the Supreme Court’s dismantling of the wall separating church and state — in overruling Roe v Wade, upholding the football 🏈 field prayer 🙏 of Coach Kennedy, and requiring Maine taxpayers to support religious schools — PolitiTweet.org
