NY’s highest court just ruled (unwisely) against Happy the Elephant’s meritorious appeal a couple days ago. It would’ve been tragicomic for it to rule for Trumpy the Elephant in this frivolous appeal. That court at least got this one right! — PolitiTweet.org

Today a candidate like Pastor Burns might seem like a freakazoid fascist who’s bound to lose. But don’t count on his ilk just crawling under some rock. The MAGATs are on the march. — PolitiTweet.org

This case will twist several Justices into pretzels: some of those who strongly favor overruling Oregon v. Smith (and restoring the pre-1990 recognition of religious exemptions from state criminal laws) also favor overruling Roe v. Wade (and criminalizing nearly all abortions). — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a point-by-point shredding of Trump’s embarrassingly stupid 12-page “statement” of baseless complaints about the J6 Committee’s hearings and the investigations underlying them 👇🏼 https://t.co/NbWWCzXDNj — PolitiTweet.org

“The referral would be largely cosmetic and kind of messy because it poses the risk that if Garland goes ahead and pulls the trigger on a prosecution, it will be portrayed as doing the committee’s bidding.” It’s a foolish debate to have.  https://t.co/bl2XG6U7nf — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s an excerpt from my 6/14 @TheLastWord segment explaining why not even a great “f-ing criminal defense lawyer” could mount a successful defense against Trump’s attacks on Congress and his fraud and seditious conspiracy against the US Government: https://t.co/fi6Fbh7JTa — PolitiTweet.org

Bret Stephens’s proposed pro-Ukraine breakthrough includes “seizing the estimated $300 billion in Russian central bank assets held abroad” and finds mine a “convincing legal case” for such seizure to help Ukraine — despite the “administration’s cold feet”:https://t.co/Lljlw0ppsw — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Luttig’s testimony should put this whole matter into its proper perspective. His conservative credentials are impeccable, his brilliance beyond question, his insight into what is at stake unequalled. Drop everything and listen to him this Thursday at 1 pm ET — PolitiTweet.org

Join me and @Lawrence on @TheLastWord at 10 ET tonight on MSNBC to discuss Trump’s potential “delusional defense.” What problems would federal or state prosecutors face if Trump could persuade some jurors that he really believed his own BS? It’s an important question. — PolitiTweet.org

When even FOX is insufficiently fascist for a leading MAGAT, you know those goons have gone over the edge. All that’s missing is the black shirts, the goose steps, and the Swastikas. Oh, wait . . . — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder how many of those who contributed to the non-existent Trump Election Defense Fund knew their money would be used to pay the girlfriend of Donald Jr. at a rate of over $1M per hour? — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty telling! Hard to see how DOJ would rationalize treating Trump differently from Bannon. Stay tuned. — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with the two dissenters that the court should’ve recognized “Happy’s right to petition for her liberty both because she is a wild animal not meant to be caged and displayed and because the rights we confer on others define who we are as a society.” https://t.co/ibHLZrcTXL — PolitiTweet.org

But he’s incapable of calling himself a LOSER. If that could be a defense, just imagine what that’d do to criminal prosecution across the board! “Yer honor, yah, I shot the guy dead. But I can’t bring myself to call myself a murderer. That’s just not who I am.” — PolitiTweet.org

Actually, @RepZoeLofgren, somebody has decided: Congress criminalized wire fraud long ago. 18 USC 1343. DOJ will need to decide whether Trump's conduct in violation of sec 1343 was excusable because, well, because he was above the law. But weren't we told NO-ONE is above the law? — PolitiTweet.org

Putin would no doubt welcome having Trump back in the WH so he could mess further with what'd be left of our democracy. He'd no doubt enjoy being handed Zelensky's head on a platter. And Trump would of course oblige. https://t.co/0FwGLLhunw — PolitiTweet.org
