Hey Dems, this is the guy who got you into this jam by recommending you withhold the Articles from Senate. Now he’s literally making up constitutional provisions. Constitution says nothing about “filing” (Tribe’s word) Articles in Senate or otherwise giving House power over trial
Constitution says House has power to impeach, Senate has sole power to try impeachment cases. For 1st time in history, Dems trying to obstruct an impeachment trial. Senate should update its rules to dismiss these (bogus) Articles if House Dems refuse to try their case
I once knew a federal judge who said, “I only cite @tribelaw ironically.” Good advice

Dems said impeachment was URGENT. Now they don’t want to have a trial, because they have no evidence. In real world, if prosecution doesn’t proceed with case, it gets dismissed. So on Monday, I will introduce measure to dismiss this bogus impeachment for lack of prosecution
This will expose Dems’ circus for what it is: a fake impeachment, abuse of the Constitution, based on no evidence. If Dems won’t proceed with trial, bogus articles should be dismissed and @realDonaldTrump fully cleared
My proposal will take form of motion to update Senate impeachment rules to account for this unprecedented attempt to obstruct Senate trial. Stay tuned

New data on the explosion of deaths of despair is shocking. Suicides at highest rate since ‘30s. Drug overdoses skyrocketing & alcohol-related deaths as well. Almost every person I talked to in my travels in rural Missouri this August had lost someone to suicide or drug overdose
From report: “Suicides have not been so common since 1938, and one has to go back to 1910s to find mortality from alcohol-related deaths as high as today’s.” But biggest driver of this crisis? “[A]n unprecedented epidemic of drug overdoses” jec.senate.gov/public/index.c…
Life expectancy is actually DECLINING for large portions of the population and whole communities are in crisis. But what are the Democrats talking about? Taking away plastic straws and stopping us from eating burgers. What world are they living in? foxnews.com/politics/butti…

This piece by Noah Feldman has added, quite unnecessarily, to what was already a lot of confusion. 1/29 @NoahRFeldman @SethAbramson tinyurl.com/wq4op7w
@NoahRFeldman @SethAbramson It is clear from the Constitution that impeachment by the House is one thing; a trial by the Senate is another. So when the House voted to impeach, Trump *was* impeached. Period. Feldman is wrong. End of story. 2/29
@NoahRFeldman @SethAbramson Feldman is right, however, to point out that the Framers clearly understood that impeachment *entails* that the House’s articles of impeachment are to be sent to the Senate for a trial. 3/29

Lysander Spooner had strong beliefs about intellectual property-especially his-that I'm about to completely disrespect with an ultra-long tweet storm (strap in, this will take a while, and get interrupted) of the entirety of The Unconstitutionality of Slavery.
The plan is to post in chapters as I get the opportunity, so I'm not just preparing the tweet storm all day long and then don't get to tweet it because I have to go home.
CHAPTER I.: WHAT IS LAW?

Before examining the language of the Constitution, in regard to Slavery, let us obtain a view of the principles, by virtue of which law arises out of those constitutions and compacts, by which people agree to establish government.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

(THREAD) This thread provides live updates on any newsworthy events in Attorney General Sessions' public testimony before Congress today. I hope you'll follow along and share this tweet.
1/ Sessions says to his knowledge Papadopoulos was not authorized by the Trump campaign to speak to any foreign government on behalf on the campaign. In fact, Papadopoulos repeatedly spoke to the governments of Greece and the UK on the campaign's behalf and the campaign knew it.
2/ Sessions is saying he knew nothing of Papadopoulos speaking to UK officials in September and November 2016, and nothing of Papadopoulos speaking to Greek officials in May (twice) and December 2016. This *breaks* credulity, given his role as Trump's foreign policy/NatSec chief.
