The J6HC Committee public hearings ARE a “criminal referral” of Donald Trump for prosecution by DOJ. A formal document called a “referral” wouldn’t do anything more than the hearings themselves have done and are doing. Focusing on a possible referral is a foolish sideshow. — PolitiTweet.org

I am in full agreement with this thread by @judgeluttig and have told him that my forthcoming op-ed on this subject will build on this textual argument. Nothing could be more important to our democracy’s survival than to get this right.@adamliptak @RuthMarcus — PolitiTweet.org

The idea of filing a case like that directly in the US Supreme Court was pretty close to insane in the first place, but GinniThomas needs to be asked about it because there does seem more than a little connection there . . . — PolitiTweet.org

“May a State bar a resident of that State from traveling to another State to obtain an abortion? In my view, the answer is no based on the constitutional right to interstate travel.” — Justice Kavanaugh, concurring in Dobbs. He’s surely right on that issue https://t.co/HlFa5EaAt5 — PolitiTweet.org

This is the full version of the #DemocracyDoomsday thread. Read it. But make sure you’re sitting down first. https://t.co/ucWmgpsybX — PolitiTweet.org

This is a somewhat fuller thread laying out all the aspects of the doomsday theory. It is frighteningly plausible. — PolitiTweet.org

A MUST READ: Step #17 of the thread is legally wrong, but that gives me no assurance that the radical antidemocratic wing of the #TrumpPacked SCOTUS won’t buy it hook, line, and sinker. And then we’d be totally fucxxd. Only mass public mobilization NOW can stave off this disaster — PolitiTweet.org

The “theory” wielded by Trump attorney John Eastman as he sought to “overturn the last presidential election” was in fact even whackier and more destructive than the nutty Independent State Legislature theory SCOTUS has agreed to take up this Fall. https://t.co/iWfC51bqQY — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, it cd’ve been worse for EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases, but it was as bad as I feared for administrative agencies as institutions for protecting environmental values, consumers, and workers — ie, for the ability of government to help. https://t.co/hgmpbttgMR — PolitiTweet.org

If you need a quick update on what this mysterious new Independent State Legislature (ISL) theory is and why its adoption by SCOTUS in Moore v. Harper would be so dangerous to our democracy, a great way to get ahead of the game would be to read this @rickhasen thread: — PolitiTweet.org

Read this powerful eulogy to a decision that deserved to live, not be snuffed out by a cabal of ideologues. @radicalrao delivers the sad truth -- and challenges us eloquently to fight back: https://t.co/t3oAuVzZPe — PolitiTweet.org

DOJ obviously needs to investigate this criminal witness intimidation. The first question the FBI would have to ask: who benefits from silencing or messing with #CassidyHutchinsonTestimony — PolitiTweet.org

@wolfblitzer will interview me on @CNN tonight at 8:05 pm ET about how the Jan 6 Committee’s hearings, with courageous #CassidyHutchinson testifying under oath to what she saw and heard, are finally breaking down #Trump’s once invincible armor. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The Jan. 6 coup attempt failed, but the Supreme Court has succeeded this term in trashing the Constitution without firing a shot. The justices simply made key planks of the Republican Party platform the supreme law of the land. Why? Because they had the votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The men disputing Hutchinson’s testimony are two of Trump’s biggest acolytes. Also a Trumper, she had a higher loyalty, had no incentive to bend the truth, and was under oath . . . https://t.co/alIclAoiUj via @truthout — PolitiTweet.org

@wolfblitzer will interview me tonight on CNN at 8:05 pm ET about holding Trump and his enablers accountable for the crimes the J6 Committee is uncovering with the help of #CassidyHutchinsonTestimony and others with the courage to testify under oath to what they saw and heard. — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Cipollone has no lawful basis to resist the J6HC's subpoena. If he cares about America and the search for truth, he should comply rather than join the crowd of careerists who care only about themselves. https://t.co/R9ZrO3QCBP — PolitiTweet.org

I think @danielsgoldman has this exactly right. The Trump Cult is embedded in a #TrumpCriminalEnterprise that is built on greed, grift, graft, and whatever violence must be threatened or even deployed in order to seize and hold onto power. RICO charges fit like a glove. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This about sums it up. It shouldn't take long now for DOJ under Garland's leadership to assemble the evidence to draft an airtight indictment for numerous federal felonies committed by Trump in conspiracy with his inner circle. The ball is in your court, Mr. Attorney General. — PolitiTweet.org

A new hashtag will emerge if my 1.3 million followers start using it: #TrumpTheTamperer or should it be #TamperingTrump? You decide, and we'll see which goes viral the fastest. https://t.co/2VJvrwICZr via @politico — PolitiTweet.org

This is deadly serious. Combining the power of a (former) presidency with its tentacles of violent thugs to frighten witnesses into silence while an insurrection and an attempted coup are under investigation spells fascism on the march. — PolitiTweet.org

This is deadly serious. Already referred to DOJ by J6HC for contempt of Congress, formal referral for witness tampering violating 18 USC 1512(b) should follow. The rest of Meadows' crimes don't fit the "referral" category but are being referred de facto by public exposure. — PolitiTweet.org

THE functional problem? I can think of a dozen others, all of which add up to: It's a manipulable mirage that pretends to constrain judges but actually liberates them to masquerade their agendas in the form of a manufactured past that has no claim to rule the present anyway. — PolitiTweet.org
