In the latest >If you can keep it< ⚖️ @KPNatsFan and @conorsg dissect the Trump immunity SCOTUS hearing ❓ Why political parties matter, explained by Chris Parr & @JRDresden 🗳️ @deseretmagazine on contingent elections And more. Read and subscribe: ifyoucankeep.it
🗓️ Tues 4/30 Autocracy threatens; the “Democracy Playbook” equips. @LarryDiamond and our own @braderstorf will lead a discussion on practical strategies to defend democratic values. RSVP Here: eventbrite.com/e/880927877997…
On April 29, expert panelists from @CountEveryHero will join @lawfare Senior Editor @S_R_Anders to discuss this troubling trend and how it may impact the 2024 election. /2 Register here: brookings.edu/events/domesti…
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…
Four takeaways from Trump’s SCOTUS immunity hearing NEW from @KPNatsFan Former civil rights prosecutor, current pro-democracy lawyer and @conorsg, counsel at Protect Democracy, working to secure accountability for abuses of power. ifyoucankeepit.org/p/four-takeawa…
An important piece by @ebaueri in @deseretmagazine on the history & dangers of a contingent election, & how it could be “the poison pill embedded in the U.S. Constitution that causes the rest of the electoral system to fail.” deseret.com/magazine/2024/…
But here is a shorter op-ed that explains exactly why the pardon power IS NOT ABSOLUTE here from me and @g_tudor who is the real expert on this issue. thebulwark.com/p/trump-pardon…
The president's pardon power has been checked before, which shows there ARE LIMITS on this power. We have another paper on this! protectdemocracy.org/work/checking-…
And yes, Trump tested the limits of this power during his first term. He invited people to obstruct justice and pardoned them for it. That was bad. There should have been, and still can be, more oversight and investigations of those pardons and how they were used.…
Want to go long? Look at our white paper: The Presidential pardon power, explained. TL; DR: It's subject to constitutional constraints. It can't be used to override the rest of the Constitution. protectdemocracy.org/work/the-presi…
Looks like pardons came up at SCOTUS today. @protctdemocracy is on it! Here are some resources and background. Thread time.
The stakes for our democracy are high. Trump is accused of conspiring to overthrow a free and fair election and is once again running for president. The public has a strong interest in seeing the federal J6 case tried before the 2024 election. protectdemocracy.org/work/prosecuti…
NEW from former Army Secretary & @CountEveryHero co-chair @louiscaldera on why presidential criminal immunity is completely unnecessary, ahistorical, and would have severe consequences for the future of our democracy, in ifyoucankeep.it ⬇️ ifyoucankeepit.org/p/presidents-d…
As SCOTUS prepares to hear argument tmrw in Trump v. US, @CountEveryHero co-chairs +10 more retired 4-star officers & frmr service secretaries explained the stakes of granting the POTUS absolute criminal immunity in a friend-of-the-court brief (2/2) 🔗 supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/2…
“A commander in chief who is exempt from the rule of law risks cascading harms to American democracy, national security and our leadership in the world ” write @CountEveryHero co-chairs in @starsandstripes (1/2) stripes.com/opinion/2024-0…
"One of the dangerous things here is that people have argued the country survived 1 Trump presidency…[but] there were constraints on Trump during the 1st term. In a 2nd term, that wouldn’t be true & it certainly wouldn’t be true if the Court gives carte blanche" says @ianbassin

Previously @WITF @WHYY @WVIKqcRegarding the case against Donald Trump, counsel at Protect Democracy, leading litigation to secure accountability for abuses of executive power and interference with government functions, @KPNatsFan, discusses what stood out to her about the arguments today.
In practice, many observers fear that any grant of immunity, no matter how the GOP majority tries to limit it, would enormously embolden a reelected Trump to barrel through constraints of custom and law in pursuing his self-described agenda of “retribution.”
All but 1 of the GOP #SCOTUS Justices look poised not only to extinguish the chance that the GOP prez nominee will face a jury on the most serious charges confronting him before the Nov election. It also seems ready to unshackle a potential 2nd Trump term theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
“The arguments today made clear that Trump seeks absolute unchecked power. Trying to rein in an imperial vision of presidential power like that with an opinion that draws fine lines would be akin to trying to hold water with a net” said Deana El-Mallawany @protctdemocracy
“The Supreme Court may be inclined to split hairs, but Donald Trump is not,” Deana El-Mallawany, counsel for the bipartisan group @protctdemocracy said after the hearing.
