- Dear John Bolton, your aide, Fiona Hill, said she is testifying because “I believe that those who have information that the Congress deems relevant have a legal and moral obligation to provide it.” Do you disagree? Why will you not fulfill your legal and moral obligation?
- So for those who thought Bill Barr was an institutionalist, consider: he wants to name a US Atty for SDNY with no—zero—prosecutorial experience
- Based on Sondland testimony, House is fully entitled to hear from, at a minimum: Pompeo, Bolton,Mulvaney. Oh, and Vice President Pence.
- "Nowhere else does this Court recognize a right to end a human life." Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart in Dobbs oral argument today. I guess the death penalty...doesn't count?
- Just a reminder, Lindsey Graham in October: “If you could show me that Trump actually was engaging in a quid pro quo, outside the phone call, that would be very disturbing"
- Everyone who works for Trump: quit now. Save your souls. Save your honor. Save your reputation. Russia attacked our democracy. He doesn’t care, won’t defend our country.Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!
- The president attacks government prosecutors . He attacks federal judges. Now he is attacking a juror—a juror!—for doing her public duty. This is beyond the pale. Attorney General Barr??
- Something terrible, something dangerous — and, yes, something unconstitutional — is happening in Portland. It must be stopped.
- Did you ever think you'd live to see the day that George Will called for Democrats to take over both houses of Congress? Me neither. wapo.st/2yz1LP9?tid=ss…
- The Chief Justice doesn’t get it. The fault isn’t with the public that doubts the court’s legitimacy. It’s with the court acting in illegitimate ways
- Hello, Justice Department, hello, AG Barr, let me do a little legal research for you: "Any system of prior restraints of expression comes to this Court bearing a heavy presumption against its constitutional validity." New York Times v. United States.
- Is there no one—not a single person—with a political appointment in this administration who has the soul, the decency, the moral backbone to quit over family separation? Not one?
- I have not always agreed with John McCain, but the prospect of losing this American hero & patriot is made all the more difficult by the twin realities of being left with this president and a GOP that, with few and pale exceptions, lacks McCain’s moral courage to speak out.
