Proud to write with @neal_katyal @jentaub & @tribelaw about Trump’s authoritarianism both in the streets & in the courts.
Key points here from our new @PostOpinions op-ed. /1 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
“The Trump administration’s authoritarian behavior on the streets is being matched by its authoritarian positions in the federal courts.” /2 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
“It’s revealing, in the midst of a pandemic and a national criminal-justice crisis, what the Trump administration sees as an emergency: a federal court hearing legal arguments and discovering the facts.” /3 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
“If the goings-on at the federal courthouse seem a world away from protesters facing down rubber bullets and military helicopters, think again: This is the other side of the same coin, if less vicious in form.” /4 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
“This case long ago ceased being about a single judge. It’s about the right of all of us to learn what happened at the Justice Department and avoid a coverup.” /5 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
“That is what our system of free speech and an independent judiciary entails — whether Trump and his enablers like it or not.” / END washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
