Exactly, and the sky didn’t fall. Future Illinois Governors did not fail to govern. They did not stage a January 6 to avoid leaving office. In the many instances in which states have prosecuted former governors including for official acts, none of the parade of horribles followed

NEW: Our briefing covers the 4 takeaways from the unprecedented SCOTUS immunity hearing and why immunity wouldn’t just be an outrage — it’s a national security risk. Subscribe for critical stories & complex issues beyond partisanship & campaign politics. ifyoucankeepit.org/p/a-tipping-po…
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.

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.
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 Supreme Court may be inclined to split hairs, but Donald Trump is not,” Deana El-Mallawany, the counsel for the bipartisan group Protect Democracy, told me after the hearing. “The arguments today made clear that Trump seeks absolute unchecked power. Trying to rein in an…
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor asks in the Trump immunity hearing: "If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts that for which he can get immunity?" Trump…
I asked @thomasjoscelyn, who wrote much of the 1/6 committee report, what sort of evidence Jack Smith likely gathered on Trump's conduct that the committee couldn't get. Here are his answers. *This* is what a SCOTUS delay could keep hidden from voters. newrepublic.com/article/180896…
Remember, @jonkarl reported that Jack Smith has secured testimony from top advisers to Trump who provided an "extraordinarily detailed description" of what he was doing throughout the day as the mob rampaged. The 1/6 committee COULD NOT GET THIS INFO. newrepublic.com/article/180896…
Let's be clear: If SCOTUS helps Trump delay the 1/6 trial, voters will likely be making their choice in the next election without hearing any of the new evidence Jack Smith has gathered on Trump's conduct during the violent effort to overturn the last one. newrepublic.com/article/180896…
Frog in boiling water alert: Who could have imagined 8 years ago that in the Trump era the Supreme Court would be considering whether a president should be above the law for assassinating opponents or ordering a military coup and that *at least* four justices might agree.
Alito warns if former presidents can be prosecuted they might refuse to leave office peacefully. But we know this is untrue from our laboratories of democracy, the states, where we have long prosecuted former governors without this happening. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Alito is indicting a criminal justice system when it comes to Trump that he defends when it comes to every other criminal defendant. He’s such a bad faith actor.
For anyone not sufficiently worried about what a second Trump term would be like, his argument in the Supreme Court today should terrify you. He wants absolute unchecked power. That’s his view of the presidency. And he wants to make it so.

Now Trump’s lawyer is saying a president could order the military to stage a coup to keep him in power and could be immune from any future prosecution. This is INSANE. Trump is putting in fancy legal arguments that the Supreme Court should grant him absolute power if reelected.
Wow. Not backing off. Trump’s lawyer just told the Supreme Court Trump could assassinate his opponent and would still be immune from prosecution. Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it. Now he’s asking the Supreme Court to make that so. Not a drill.
"The political damage to Trump is not what is said in the courtroom; it’s how he looks. After spending his whole life and three presidential campaigns cultivating an image of power and strength, the first week of the trial made the former president look weak, tired, and scared."…
Blistering @washingtonpost editorial from conservative Robert Kagan on Trump and democracy: “A healthy republic would not be debating whether Trump and his followers seek the overthrow of the Founders’ system of liberal democracy. What more do people need to see than his…
Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear Donald Trump’s claim that he’s immune from prosecution for leading an insurrection. As we’ve argued, there’s no basis for Trump’s claim that he’s above the law & the court should say so without further delay. /1 🔗 protdem.org/44cX5JW

On the day after Trump’s lawyers argue in the Supreme Court that a sitting President (namely him because no damn sane person thinks about this) should be immune from assassinating a political rival… the “scoop” is about Biden walking with…
SCOOP: Biden is now often surrounded by aides when walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One. • They usually walk between the 81-year-old and journalists' camera position to draw less attention to his halting and stiff gait. trib.al/hhVdRni
Bill Barr on @CNN claiming Biden poses a bigger threat to democracy than Trump—who attempted to overturn the will of 81 million voters and helped incite an insurrection—is laughable. He cited Dems’ wanting to control what stoves and cars we use as a greater danger. What a joke.
.@chrislhayes: “The conservative justices seemed to be almost openly colluding with Donald Trump, reconceptualizing the president in real time as a sort of lawless dictator and just ignoring all constitutional, textual, historical evidence that points in the other direction.”
As I wrote on Tuesday, the *most* antisemitic thing happening on college campuses right now is the fact that Republicans have goaded college presidents, who now fear for their jobs, into joining the GOP in using Jews as a political weapon. puck.news/newsletter_con…

@ianbassin thank you for your insights
@neal_katyal Ian Bassin put it well (paraphrase): For Trump (like all authoritarians), the rules are the enemy. When he is allowed to break the rules, he wins. If the rules are applied to Trump, he loses (and the rest of us win, btw). "Trump is baiting the judge" is both wrong and irrelevant.

Congrats, @saletan. Well deserved. winners.webbyawards.com/2024/podcasts/…
Matthew is right. Frank Luntz was advising Newt Gingrich 30 years ago, with polling and focus groups to determine which words Gingrich should use to rile up voters. He proudly shared his divisive vocabulary with us reporters covering Congress then.
Frank Luntz complaining about "divisiveness" is akin to Typhoid Mary complaining about the spread of infections. Why the media gives him a platform is unreal. He is a huge cause of the vitriol that exists in America.
Luntz dumps toxic waste in our water supply, then goes on tv to report that he has tested the water and it is polluted, and doesn't know how to fix the pollution he put in the water.

I saw this show and have it recorded. It was earth shaking in it's depth. Thank you Nicolle, Andrew and Ian. @AWeissmann_ @NicolleDWallace @ianbassin

A Ukrainian soldier texts from Donbas: - The whole unit was watching. After the vote, one could hear all over the trench: “YESSS!” Thank you! #StandWithUkraine
A true hero in ending the shameful six month blockade of Ukraine aid was Foreign Affairs chair @RepMcCaul. He & his staff are largely responsible for shaping this package and persuading Speaker Johnson to embrace it. It should not have been necessary, but he deserves our thanks.
WATCH🚨CHM @RepMcCaul on the House Floor in support of HR 8038: "The world is watching. Our adversaries are watching. And history will judge us by our actions here today. "As we deliberate on this vote – you have to ask yourself this question. Am I Chamberlain or Churchill?"
We should celebrate this moment, and welcome Mike Johnson's conversion, which I think is genuine. But always remember -- had Democrats controlled the House, this would have passed months ago. Countless lives would have been saved, and Ukraine would be much closer to victory. /1
If this were just a story about technological change, the Democratic leaders would also have problems keeping their caucus in line. And yet ...

On @DeadlineWH today, @ianbassin presented a brilliant commentary on the distinction between most people who want to live in a rules-based society, and bullies like Trump who think no rules apply to them. Wish @MSNBC @NicolleDWallace would post that clip. It needs to go viral.
HEY. REPORTERS. STOP DOING THIS. Everyone deserves a fair trial. This is getting in the way of one.
One of the prospective jurors is a lifelong NYer who works in law enforcement, has season tickets to the Rangers and is a longtime member of the Knights of Columbus. He specified that he has a flip phone, not a smartphone, and “therefore, I do not watch any podcasts.”
@ianbassin should be 10/10 with room raters, when you suit coat matches your arm chair.. Thank you Ian for being a voice of reason.. Love the termite analogy.
