Lawyers call that “pleading in the alternative.” But this isn’t how it works. — PolitiTweet.org

Blatantly anticonstitutional but likely to require major DOJ and private law efforts to combat. Shades of the travel ban wars . . .  https://t.co/AHligdb8wE — PolitiTweet.org

I’m betting Tony Ornato’s too chicken to call Cassidy Hutchinson’s sworn account false — under oath, of course. So my bet is he won’t show. What odds would you give me? — PolitiTweet.org

AG Garland mustn’t let a Trump announcement of candidacy — which could be just another head fake — force his hand. Saying he’s officially running can’t immunize Trump just because elections are nearing. — PolitiTweet.org

“The outrage is not that the White House is doing too little to rectify the forced-birth crowd’s barbaric assault on women, as some on the left contend. The real issue is the barbaric assault itself.” https://t.co/mU8wBE5BCA — PolitiTweet.org

It amazes me how many will sacrifice their kids before they give up on a bloated version of the 2d Amendment but don't seem to notice when their 6th Amendment rights are traded away. Maybe it's because the trade is concealed in opaque legal jargon? https://t.co/JANdtmJM3A — PolitiTweet.org

@JoyceWhiteVance is right. And no questions I can imagine being put to Cipollone would call for genuinely privileged info. He surely won't want to come off like a fancier Mike Flynn, taking the Fifth on whether he's in favor of the peaceful transition of power! — PolitiTweet.org

Count me among those unable to make that prediction with any confidence either. One thing I believe: The worst outcomes aren't fated to occur. The future is ours to shape. If we work together as effectively as we can and don't worry about who gets the credit, we will prevail. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Pat Cipollone has no valid privilege or immunity claim to raise, and "I don't want to hurt the hand that fed me and might feed me again" isn't technically an excuse for refusing to comply with an obviously valid demand for testimony under oath. https://t.co/6lqGpfOyd7 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Why so many who'll literally risk children's lives to elevate an extreme version of 2d Am rights seem fine with handing over their 6th Am rights with hardly a thought? Because the handover is done in a quiet, seemingly technical coup. Wake up, people! https://t.co/JANdtmJM3A — PolitiTweet.org

A pretty nifty and mostly accurate summary, but the more the J6HC probes, the more we all, including DOJ, are bound to learn. And the merely godawful, and then grotesque, becomes positively ghoulish . . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

OMG. Talk about making the culprit the victim. What about the "stressful time," to put it gently, to which the Thomas couple are condemning tens of millions of women and girls all over America -- not to mention the gazillion others who're in Justice Thomas's sights? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I’ll be on @Lawrence tonight around 10:20 pm EST after my friend & former student, great @RepRaskin, a tough act to follow. I think Lawrence might ask me about the relationship of the attempted coup to the #TrumpCourt, about what they have in common, and about what’s to be done? — PolitiTweet.org

"At the end of the Trail of Tears was a promise," Justice Gorsuch wrote in his great McGirt opinion (joined by Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan) in 2020, but alas today's Kavanaugh majority breaks the promise the Court kept just two years ago. Barrett made all the difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

We've heard that before, so I wouldn't be so sure. Anyway, as important as ending Trump's career is weakening the hold of TrumpISM and, to do that, DOJ must pursue the truth wherever it leads. That's necessary though far from sufficient to break the MAGA spell . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Even if — a big IF — the evidence isn’t “yet sufficient to overcome the very high bar of proving, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Trump agreed with the rioters to attack the Capitol” — his guilt of seditious conspiracy needn’t even involve the 1/6 attack. https://t.co/rYPvvgdHcL — PolitiTweet.org

@JRubinBlogger I nominate Gwyneth Paltrow or Jennifer Lawrence — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I believe @HillaryClinton is right. Justice Thomas is taking out his long-simmering resentments on tens of millions of women, LGBTQ individuals, & others with a personal agenda that leads him to violate 28 USC 455’s recusal law to protect Ginni and to abandon the judicial role — PolitiTweet.org

The letter from Ginni’s lawyer is just a bunch of hot air. Instead of actually justifying the cold feet she developed when the J6HC called her bluff and accepted her offer to “clear up” everything, the letter is an argument about what the committee needs — PolitiTweet.org

Always loved your name, Ty Cobb. Now I like your (relative) courage. — PolitiTweet.org

And only under oath and at least on video if not on national tv. But let’s not let this “lunge” tail wag the big bad “turn off the magnetometers, let ‘em bring their guns, they’re not here to hurt ME” dog!!! Anyway she’ll be more credible than Ornato, both being loyal Trumpers — PolitiTweet.org

Go to YouTube for a good NPR/GBH 6/28/22 interview of Judge Nancy Gertner and me on the explosive Cassidy Hutchinson testimony . . . and the growing case for unstacking the #TrumpPacked Court with four added seats after winning a stronger Senate majority in the midterms. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

A word to the wise: I definitely don’t favor leaks from DOJ, but the sooner it becomes publicly clear that the criminal investigation has reached Trump, the harder it’ll be for him, by officially announcing his candidacy, to claim that his indictment would be a political act. ⏳ — PolitiTweet.org
