Reminder: @realDonaldTrump LOST this case on the merits & will likely lose again on appeal. That’s because he used a #FakeEmergency to overturn Congress’s spending decision on the #BorderWall.
Congress DENIED @realDonaldTrump the billions of tax dollars he wanted for the #BorderWall, so he declared a #FakeEmergency to get what he wanted. Congress rejected the wall TWICE via termination votes.
.@realDonaldTrump has no respect for the Constitution & the powers it gives to Congress. That’s apparent in his attempt to steal Congress’s spending powers as well as its #WarPowers. The president is #NotAboveTheLaw.
While we wait for the vote in the US House of Representatives on Articles of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump, I think it is worth taking some time to remember all the hard work that got us to this historic moment. A personal journey of 2019.... #ImpeachmentDay
Accountability began with the #BlueWave2018 in November 2018, where people all over the country said ENOUGH! Voters turned out in massive numbers to give a majority to the @HouseDemocrats. This was no fluke, but a MASSIVE effort by citizens all over America. 
Then the real crazy started, with new offenses every day and a long gov't shutdown driven by Trump's racism and spite. It is here where Trump made his first major attempt to take away the power of the purse away from Congress with his #FakeNationalEmergency.

A lesson to draw from the Trump Foundation case: State courts are an effective tool for ensuring presidential accountability. POTUS is simply *not* above the law.

We represented a bipartisan group of law profs who argued the same thing--that POTUS is not above the law--in Clinton v. Jones 20 years ago. politico.com/magazine/story…
President Trump’s lawyers keep arguing in court that he can’t be held accountable in any fashion—even if he were to shoot someone on Fifth Avenue.
That argument is absurd. And that’s why the courts keep rejecting it. #NotAboveTheLaw
