I think we are getting too caught up in the spectacle and we are missing the very boring main point which is that this President is not good at this. Any of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Trade war not going great. But at least we are not threatening unnecessary wars in several hemispheres and killing infrastructure legislation out of spite. — PolitiTweet.org

@ScarletM1926 Yes I also speak and legislate. I tweet in between those things. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

The President and his justice department is asserting, broadly speaking, that they are above constitutional and statutory law. Bill Barr will try make it sound more thoughtful and plausible than this but this is basically a middle finger posing as a legal argument. — PolitiTweet.org

In three minutes republicans will confirm Daniel P. Collins, of California, to be Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit. Motion to invoke cloture on Howard C. Nielson, Jr., of Utah, to be District Judge for Utah. Because Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth Bell argued the “indefensibility of the abortion rights position,” because either “the unborn is a mass of cells worthy of no more consideration than a hangnail, or it is a child, which may not be killed. There is no middle ground.” He will also be confirmed by R’s. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

On another party line vote republicans will give a lifetime judgeship to Howard Nielsen, who argued that the federal judge in a gay marriage case could not be impartial because he was in a committed, long-term same-sex relationship. This is because Republicans run the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

Abortion bans are being passed because anti choice lawyers think they can win at the United States Supreme Court. They are obeying an ironclad rule in politics. When you have the votes, conduct the vote. They think they have the votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Today the Senate will approve, on a party line vote, a judge for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals who has opposed both women’s reproductive rights and contraception. The Senate matters very much. — PolitiTweet.org

“It is simply not fathomable that a Constitution grants Congress the power to remove a president for reasons including criminal behavior would deny the Congress the ability to investigate him for unlawful conduct.” — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

Pardoning war criminals, putting children in cages, banning abortion, putting polluters in charge, taking away your healthcare, hammering farmers with a trade war, threatening a war with Iran. This is the worst political coalition building I’ve ever seen. — PolitiTweet.org
