1 It’s a pity that nobody is talking about the sheer breach of US & Indian laws that @RoKhanna is advocating. He essentially asked for the head of government to interfere in the workings of the Judiciary. Surely it violates US law as well @SpeakerMcCarthy? #SeparationOfPowers

2 what’s more in bringing up his grandad - he has asked Modi to do EXACTLY what Indira did in 1975 - reverse electoral disqualification through an act of parliament - essentially emergency. Remember his grandad voted for the emergency precisely to avoid Indira being disqualified

3 Essentially, Ro is his grandad’s grandson in every sense of the word:
1) supporting dynastic immunity from law
2) calls for an end to the separation of powers

This is EXACTLY what Indira did & what his grandad supported in 1975. This is EXACTLY what Ro wants in 2023

4 now I don’t believe that the sins of the forefathers should be visited on the children. But remember Ro by his acceptance of “privilege”, and support of legislation to reverse perceived “inherited privilege” does. If today’s white man is responsible for slavery, the Ro is

5 a product of privilege earned through active support of extra judicial killings, torture & mass incarceration. Moreover by holding up his grandad as moral justification for his own actions, he has green lighted through association and praise, association of his grandads

6 past actions with his current actions. I fully accept his mother might have shielded him from the truth, but for him to deny irrefutable primary sources, is like a white supremacist denying that US plantation slavery was a horrific institution.

7 His arguments are not just disingenuous, but also mind boggling, for somebody who has graduated from @YaleLawSch. Does @Yale believe that governments should interfere in judicial verdicts? Does @Yale believe that some people should be above the law.
