1. Here are my posts starting two days before the Trump insurrection. None of this was a surprise. And IMO they had already committed felonies before the riot started.

In a Federal Bar Assoc. Con Law Covid19 webinar discussing pandemic cases. Professors Erwin Chemerinsky and Michelle Goodwin. Good stuff.
Professor Chemerinsky addressed the SCOTUS shadow docket, and his comment was profound and a solid reason to rebalance the Court. An appeal of an injunction or its denial gets abuse of discretion review. Roberts court has reviewed Trump cases de novo without the full record.
What I take from that is the radical right Roberts court is not even pretending to be conservative but is instead acting as a legislative body that is disregarding the foundations of appellate law as we have known it to advance the political views of the majority justices.

1. The GQP has told us their plans. They intend to take away people's right to vote. Once they succeed the Democracy is over. We have to use all lawful means to stop them. And we've got a doozy.

Almost all Trump supporters have advocated the overthrow of the US. Certainly at
2. least 8 @SenateGOP and over 100 @HouseGOP have. They sent emails, held meetings and sent texts to plan to overthrow the US government by force or violence. The hard part in a prosecution under that statue is to prove it was imminently threatened. The reason nobody
3. ever gets convicted of it is because advocacy of it rarely reaches the planning stage. And how often since 1861 has anyone set on foot to overthrow the Capitol? You have to prove that a violent or forced overthrow was imminent and in almost every case it didn't happen.

Found a link to the Senate Judiciary hearing on Judge Garland's committee hearing. judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/02/24…
Cruz says Hogan. Drink.
@tedcruz started out with his typical "I'm so disappointed that they picked a Democrat" BS. Durham is the trigger. My guess is they know that Durham is dirty and is engaged in a political witch hunt. Cruz may know that he's a target and he has to continue to advance his predicate

1. @McFaul. Read the report again. There's a big difference between "kill or capture." Was his kidnapping in Istanbul a US federal crime? I don't think it was. And who taught the Saudis how conduct a rendition? Bush43 that's who. Why would MBS kill him in his consulate?
2. Looking at his killing as simple case of homicide, who had motive and opportunity to do it? Was it someone who would like to make MBS's life a mess? I'm no fan of the Saudi's but MBS was viewed as a reformer and Khashoggi was at best an Al-Qaeda sympathizer.
3. I just grew up in a family with people who did homicide investigations and learned to just do it by the numbers. And the numbers don't add up. Two world leaders had motive and opportunity for the killing. One was easy to fathom. Like playing checkers.

1. Democratic party defector Kurt Schrader may want to start packing. OR5th district is an apparent gerrymander that with the Oregon legislature in solid Democratic control should be easy to hold or even eliminate in light of SCOTUS giving political gerrymanders the green light.
2. Why @RepSchrader would choose to give instant life to a primary challenge is puzzling. I'd watch for a Koch connection and if he did it for money, it may open some options for changing the GQP funding plans with the boss of bosses in a federal pen.
3. Maine's 1st Democrat defection is also puzzling. @RepGolden is in a somewhat GQP leaning district but with solid Democratic control of the Maine legislature and political gerrymanders being the rage this redistricting season, he too deserves watching for Koch cash. If we can

1. Question to my party: If you find out that #Erdogan was actually the person who ordered #Khashoggi be killed & dismembered, will you put sanctions on him & Turkish military? How about boot Turkey from @NATO? @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats @JackieSpeier
2. I'm certain MBS was going to grab him. But you should remember that under Bush43 we made that acceptable conduct. Also, point to a US law that makes that crime enforceable in the US? You all turn your eyes away from Turkey's dictator who was running Yazidi sex slave markets
3. in Gaziantep. You arm his F-16s to bomb Kurds in Iraq and Syria. You love to hate the Saudis but allow the most dangerous person in the Mideast to be treated like an trusted ally even after he brutalizes Americans in DC right under your noses. Sure, MBS deserves punishment.
