If this was a functioning democracy, we wouldn’t be waiting for 2 justices who took secret gifts from billionaires and 3 others appointed by a criminal to tell us whether it’s OK for the president to murder his rivals.
Something that drives me a little insane, I'll admit, is that Trump's OWN LAWYERS at his impeachment told the Senators to vote not to convict him BECAUSE he could be prosucuted if it came to that. Now they're arguing that the only way he could be prosecuted is if they convicted.
Every dictator who ever seized power justified his coup as an official act for the good of the state.
Happy DNA Day! On this day in 1953 the discovery of DNA’s double helix was published in Nature Magazine. This discovery wouldn’t have been possible without the x-ray crystallography image taken by Rosalind Franklin.
Four years ago today, Dr. Birx reacted in horror as Trump told Americans to inject bleach on national television
Four years ago today, Donald Trump took to the WH briefing room and encouraged his top health officials to study the injection of bleach into the human body to fight COVID. For our country’s sake, let’s not have this moron back in the Oval Office.

The only sensible thing to do with Trump's "Gettysburg, Wow" speech in Pennsylvania was to make a one-minute documentary film of it. These are all his real words. I added some "bing bongs" at the start. "Never fight uphill, me boys! Never fight uphill." #FunWithPhotoshop
I have rarely seen a defendant facing trial alone with no family, at least one person, in the courtroom for him. It's a sad commentary for a former president with four grown children & a wife, all of whom seem to have deserted him in the moment.
This is not an anomaly. It is the new reality. The percentages will only increase each year Once again, California exceeds 100% of demand on its main grid with #WindWaterSolar This is the 30TH OF THE PAST 38 DAYS that #WWS supply has exceeded demand for 0.25-6 h per day.

Question a public editor might ask whoever wrote this headline: What is an example, in US political history, of *any* trend being "guaranteed" to ensure an electoral result? So why does it make sense to frame the 2024 "economy is good but 'feels' bad" phenomenon this way?
Spent 3 of 5 years in @uconneeb grad program as a GA in the Torrey Herbarium. Immeasurably important to my learning of Botany, systematics, classification, biogeography, history. Later started @SUNYPlattsburgh herbarium + now run @BucknellU’s. Because a herbarium = education gold

April is #ScottishAmericanHeritageMonth and we celebrate it featuring John Muir, remarkable Scottish-born American #naturalist #botanist #zoologist and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in USA #Yosemite #Sequoia 🏴🇺🇸 #JohnOfTheMountains
This is a beautiful illustration of how warped the coverage of the two candidates has been. Side by side in the New York Times, as though they’re equally important—one about felony criminal charges of Trump trying to overthrow democracy. The other about…Biden not wearing a tie.
Makes me wonder.
Excellent work by @barubin for @AccountableGOP exploring the Ethical Evaporation Syndrome so many prominent Republicans are suffering from. Take a look. And share this miracle cure with others.

FINALLY. Dreeben explaining that Trump is not being prosecuted for official acts. Anything that could plausibly be characterized as an official act would be used for its evidentiary value re motive and intent for an illegal conspiracy in his capacity as a candidate for office,…
POTUS has no official role in the 1/6 count. When a candidate pressures/threatens the President of the Senate (Pence), pressures and lobbies state legislatures & members of Congress, and oversees a fraudulent elector scheme, his acts are private. And plotting to appoint an AG in…
I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as "an official act." I am in despair that several Justices seemed to think this answer made perfect sense.
If you’ve been listening to the Supreme Court oral arguments (Idaho vs United States & the Trump immunity debacle) you know that Alito Thomas Gorsuch Kavanaugh will always say and do whatever the most Fox News brain worms thing is
Has @JamesComer done a hearing yet on Enquired burying the Trump stormy Daniel’s affair?
@vahlamorgulis Trump is allowed to give orders to his DOJ. He is allowed to discuss policy matters with VP. The purpose/motive wouldn’t matter, these would be off the table
@AshaRangappa_ @kaponofor3 My concern is CJR’s argument that you’d be left with a “one-legged stool” if you stripped the official acts from the charges. I can’t tell if he supports or opposes the idea using official acts as evidence (a jury instruction). My concern is anchored in Kavanaugh’s “clear…
@kaponofor3 I think there was a complicated question about bribery, but my guess is that since it is an impeachable offense specifically mentioned in the Constitution, it would be excepted from otherwise immune acts. So you couldn’t, for example, prosecute a POTUS for obstruction of justice…
SCOTUS possibilities: 1. Say there is no immunity in criminal context 2. Say there is immunity for “core” Art. II duties/powers mentioned in the Constitution (pardon, hiring/firing, negotiating with heads of state, command authority in the theater of war, etc)…none of which…
Today’s SCOTUS argument on Trump’s criminal immunity revealed an activist conservative majority that wants to provide presidential immunity. To do so, they must get around Nixon v Fitzgerald (1982), which clearly states there is no criminal immunity for presidents. For example,…
I’m wondering about the soft power implications of the Supreme Court entertaining arguments for some presidential immunity from prosecution for crimes as extreme as assassinating a rival or selling nuclear secrets to an adversary. How would Americans react to a similar ruling in…
Donald Trump is not asking questions about limited immunity, or what he did in his personal or official capacity. He wants absolute immunity. That's his argument. That's his demand. It's incompatible with our system of government as we know it. But he wants the Republican…
The key to understanding how Trump gets away with bad stuff is understanding how he's obsessed with plausible deniability. I study how he uses language to say and not say (paralipsis), but the legal system is a whole other big topic.
The prosecutor asks about Karen McDougal's contract and Pecker's testimony that its "true purpose" was to smother her story. Pecker agrees with the prosecutor's statement that the purpose of the provisions about McDougal's career was to establish "plausible deniability."
I was in the Oval Office with Trump when he said a WH staffer he believed leaked an embarrassing story about him should be executed. We may want to take this line of argument from Trump’s attorney extremely seriously.
For the record, Trump's attorney John Sauer argues before the Supreme Court that depending on the circumstances, assassinating a political rival could be considered an official act.
Again, the courthouse is open the public. The park outside, where a handful of his supporters have gathered on trials days, is easily accessible.
As usual, an important point by @AshaRangappa_ identifying an inconsistency by some conservative Justices on applying criminal laws to a president.⤵️ Indeed, here's Kavanaugh in 14th Amendment oral arg taking a very different approach than Kavanaugh in Trump v. US oral arg:
In the 14th Amendment case, the Court implicitly acknowledged that 18 U.S.C. 2383 (rebellion and insurrection) could apply to a former President, and provide adequate grounds for disqualification. So not sure why they are entertaining an argument that criminal laws writ large…
“The conservative judges, or at least most of them, on the highest court in the land are very clearly choosing Trump over our institutions. And none more belligerently than Samuel Alito.” newrepublic.com/post/181023/sa…
In the 14th Amendment case, the Court implicitly acknowledged that 18 U.S.C. 2383 (rebellion and insurrection) could apply to a former President, and provide adequate grounds for disqualification. So not sure why they are entertaining an argument that criminal laws writ large…
And as @AshaRangappa_ noted, the Court just weeks ago said the federal insurrection act applies to the president. Now he is immune?
Then Chief Justice Burger, no liberal, wrote in the 5-4 Nixon v Fitzgerald case on which Trump’s lawyers relied in SCOTUS today that no claim of immunity for crimes committed by a former president while in office would “be credible.” He was right. The justices who were eager to…
@tribelaw For all of my 47 years since law school I thought the most rudimentary principle of judicial conservatism was deciding only the legal issues presented by the specific case before the Court. This SCOTUS seems legislative-ish!?!
