Always assume the worst of this gang
They scammed the country. Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch says that abortion isn’t a “states rights” issue after all. Nope. They plan to use the 14th Amendment to overturn state constitutional amendments protecting abortion rights. He also calls SCOTUS the “Leo court.” 1/ pic.twitter.com/3nlOm7Uhbu

After stacking SCOTUS, Leonard Leo (a fundamentalist Catholic activist & donor) has set his sights on our culture. It’s not just about abortion, contraception, & same-sex marriage. It’s about changing our entire society, as @CheriJacobus & I discussed. 1/ pic.twitter.com/G9NAdviAsQ

Those motherfuckers
A Texas prosecutor will appeal against a court ruling that tossed a 5-year prison sentence for Crystal Mason, the woman who did not know she was ineligible to vote in 2016 https://t.co/R0Bv8hQxwf

Evil on the bench
If SCOTUS rules immunity for Presidents, I hope Biden lives by the new law and packs the Supreme Court with Dems. I hope he respects this new law by using an executive order by codifying RoevWade. I hope he supports this new law by overturning all Trump’s appointed federal Judges… pic.twitter.com/8HJfSKlVLf

I think if SCOTUS gives absolute immunity to a criminal president, then perhaps the SCOTUS is absolutely corrupted. Just saying.

The Supreme Court hearing on the absolute immunity of the President makes my point below.
The majority of the justices ,for whatever reason,are devoted to the Trumpian authoritarian concept.
Voting Blue in historically high numbers is imperative.
There can be no doubt left.

Can we just take stock of what an insane 24 hour stretch we're in:
• Trump's lawyers want presidential immunity for coups and assassinations
• in the middle of a trial where Pecker is explaining how they rigged 2016 for Trump
• as the NYT is pulling a National Enquirer and…

No exceptions
If you read one thing about the Iowa abortion argument in SCOTUS today, make it this! An ER doctor patiently disassembles the state's arguments. https://t.co/qXvP14S7oe

Unbelievable
A short federal court order out of Oakland says there’s “strong evidence” that prosecutors there, for decades, automatically excluded black and jewish jurors from death penalty cases. https://t.co/nt0JjklN7K pic.twitter.com/KEDy3zHkNr

Looking to overturn Jan. 6th convictions
That would be the conservative majority on SCOTUS. As I’ve been saying, they should swap their robes for Mar-A-Lago valet uniforms, since there’s so little apparent difference in the job description:
As you talk about the likelihood that SCOTUS is about to require a documentary tie to 1512, consider the fact that the defendant in question LITERALLY said he wanted to obstruct the vote cert BY suffocating MoCs.

Media sleepwalks past Ginni Thomas’ treason

Following the trial is boring so far
Two weeks of jury selection, and Trump is falling asleep in the courtroom. Probably can’t handle not being able to blab!
Wow. Maggie Haberman just confirmed that “Trump appeared to be asleep. His head would fall down…He didn’t pay attention to a note his lawyer passed him. His jaw kept falling on his chest and his mouth kept going slack.” Sleepy Don?

By the way? Trump knows what he’s doing. He will do anything he can to delay the trial.
Even as prosecutors were seeking a contempt ruling against Donald Trump for violating the gag order in recent days, Trump once again tested the boundaries of the gag during the trial's lunch break. via @kyledcheney https://t.co/xyTxwnTjeZ
