“This is a story about men gaining power by trading away something that meant little to them compared with their own stature: the rights of women.” But, to be fair, it’s also a story of a “notorious” justice who should’ve retired while Obama was president. https://t.co/5zOLuljsu0 — PolitiTweet.org

Reminder to #TrumpPackedCourt: The fact that @POTUS says he’s still opposed to legislation to make you a 13-member Court, both larger and more diverse, doesn’t make your current I’ll-gotten composition permanent or a birthright. The times are changing https://t.co/CdNdJ7HM97 — PolitiTweet.org

To SCOTUS: #TrumpPacking isn’t beyond political correction. The Constitution wisely leaves to the Political Branches the size of the Supreme Court and, within limits, its jurisdiction. Going rogue has its costs. Five of you need to be reminded of that. https://t.co/CdNdJ7HM97 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

To the five Justices who act as though they were beyond accountability: Your appalling hubris is the reason more of us are being vocal about our power to check yours—by adding seats or limiting your jurisdiction even before we have the votes to do so. https://t.co/CdNdJ7HM97 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s totally different from districting cases and presidential elector cases because the Art I Elections Clause and Art II Electors Clause uniquely single out state legislatures for a federal role. — PolitiTweet.org

A key research project: Find states whose (a) legislatures have enacted extreme abortion bans but whose (b) highest courts might construe their state’s own constitutions to render those bans void and unenforceable as a matter of state law — interpretations not reviewable by SCt — PolitiTweet.org

“The majority has overruled Roe and Casey for one and only one reason: because it has always despised them, and now it has the votes to discard them. The majority thereby substitutes a rule by judges for the rule of law.” — Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan, dissenting. — PolitiTweet.org

In his influential proposal, appeals court Justice Peter Rubin “stopped short of endorsing any particular method of conducting closing arguments, deferring to the experience of members of the criminal bar in the trenches.” A wise approach, justly praised. https://t.co/TGLf53B3d5 — PolitiTweet.org

“Hours later, the clinic had emptied of all but those who had received their abortions hours or minutes before Roe v. Wade, the 50-year-old court case that enshrined abortion as a right, was overturned by the Supreme Court Friday.” https://t.co/f3lrzX8MPz — PolitiTweet.org

Every business in America must step up to help the tens of millions of women the #TrumpPackedCourt has reduced to second-class citizenship, letting red states control their bodies and direct their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

This Court’s version of the Constitution governs with a dead hand and an iron fist. It entrusts government with health control and entitles people to gun care. — PolitiTweet.org

“Either the mass of the majority’s opinion is hypocrisy, or additional constitutional rights are under threat…It is one or the other.” — Three-Justice dissent in Dobbs. Actually, it is both. A vast array of rights is threatened by a wholly hypocritical decision. — PolitiTweet.org

“No, justices, your work isn’t done. What you have finished off is the legitimacy of the court on which you are privileged to spend the rest of your lives.” https://t.co/Z4Iw9IX0sy — PolitiTweet.org

“As of June 24, 2022, about 64 million American women of childbearing age have less power to decide what happens in their own bodies than they did the day before, less power than their mothers and even some of their grandmothers did.” This cannot stand. https://t.co/aTKMYipYl4 — PolitiTweet.org

“‘Attempts to justify abortion through appeals to a broader right to autonomy,’” wrote Justice Alito, ‘could license fundamental rights to illicit drug use, prostitution, and the like.’ In fact, pregnancy is nothing like those things.’” https://t.co/OTHP6DOlNX — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Even after a real historian ripped to shreds the armchair pseudo-history in Alito’s leaked opinion, he didn’t bother to fix his shoddy work product but regurgitated it verbatim. And why not? He and those joining him feel untouchable and answer to no one. https://t.co/ptSkK3izR3 — PolitiTweet.org

Three men — Presidents GHW Bush (Justice Thomas), GW Bush (Justices Alito, Roberts), Trump (Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Alito) — two of whom won with a minority of the popular vote — have done this to tens of millions of women and to the rule of law. This must be undone. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The Dobbs majority misleadingly quotes me on pages 50 and 54 in straining to justify a decision the dissent rightly calls an exercise in “power, not reason.” Don’t be fooled. The writings from which the Court cherry-picked my quotes were totally supportive of the result in Roe. — PolitiTweet.org

Watch @ErinBurnett on @CNN tonight at 7 ET to hear me answer her questions about what the overruling of #RoeVWade in #DobbsvJackson means for the future. What can #POTUS do? FDA? Congress? State courts? What’s in store for contraception, sexual privacy, same-sex marriage, #LGBTQ? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Excellent if limited news for gun safety. But hard to rejoice on the day the Court disastrously overruled Roe and Casey and the day after it dangerously extended gun rights from self-defense in the home to carrying concealed firearms outside the home. https://t.co/Q41LAkBDi9 — PolitiTweet.org
