1. On the @Twitter @Facebook dust up, stolen emails carry potential civil liability. The ruling in the SDNY civil case brought by the @HillaryClinton and @TheDemocrats for Trump campaign use of Wikileaks/GRU hacked emails was dismissed because the court found the emails were

2. in the wild. But this recent @nypost drop is an initial posting of stolen emails. So IMO the Post is acting as @wikileaks. Could these platforms face both civil and criminal liability? If they are betting that question may be answered by a @JoeBiden appointed AG running

@TheJusticeDept

3. @TheJusticeDept the decision to back away from amplification makes good business sense.

18 U.S. Code Chapter 119. "WIRE AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS INTERCEPTION" has been used against the press. If you use illegally obtained private material, you are exposing yourself to

1.1928, the stock market was rolling along when an anti-prohibition Irish Catholic ran as a Democrat. Anti-Catholic hate raised its ugly head and Hoover won by a landslide. Then the stock market crashed in October 1929.

2. Factories closed and commodity prices plummeted wiping out the farm economy. By 1932 people were desperate and fearful and the map flipped from red to blue. FDR began is promised recovery but it was stymied by right-wing activist judges who shared Judge Barrett's views.

3. Like her they sought to roll back health and safety protections and block FDR's recovery plans. So FDR threatened to add justices. But the conservatives relented, with two crossing over. Liberty, worker protections and the safety net are a one-way street. We're not going back.

1. During WWII, my maternal granfather, Timothy Murphy, was a Holyoke MA, Detective Sergeant. My mother told me about his interactions with the @FBI who were doing investigations both background and national security related. Investigating a Holyoke

@SenateGOP

1. Will @SenateGOP religious extremism bring on a period of overt religious sectarian conflict because beliefs can be made the subject of attacks and ridicule by a Catholic #SCOTUS? If Christian right need not respect others' religious beliefs, why should others respect theirs?

2. Will Catholic belief in the Holy Trinity and virgin birth, LDS beliefs in Latter Day Saints, Evangelicals' belief that prayer is maters over good works, become the subject of overt sectarian attacks? Why shouldn't people who don't adopt the Evangelical, Mormon,

@CatholicBishops

3. Catholic view of life be subject to the others' religious beliefs and overt sectarian hatred but Evangelical, Mormon, Catholics, not expect it in return? It's easy. It's in the Constitution stupid. @CatholicBishops @SenateMajLdr @SenMcSallyAZ @SenatorCollins @SenCoryGardner

1. #CourtPacking: On Feb 5, 1937, #FDR announced his #courtpacking plan to deal with a conservative Supreme Court that was acting as a super-legislature to overturn the desperately needed recovery acts that were attempting to save America from total economic collapse.

2. Congress' attempts to fix the economy were repeatedly stymied by the imposition of a judicial activist theory of "substantive due process" that created a right of contract that trumped all Constitutionally granted legislative power. By 1937, FDR had finally had

3. enough and announced his #courtpacking plan that would increase the number of #SCOTUS justices to as many as 15. The reaction was similar to what we are seeing from the Conservatives who this time seek to turn the US into an extremist white supremacist Christian theocracy.
