Democracy — of the people, by the people, and for the people — is so fragile that you can vote it out of existence.

Just select candidates who will only accept the election results if they win.

I owe my Trump-supporting friends an apology.  I’ve been critical of the Trump presidency these last four years, and am still exhausted from the experience. But to be fair, President Trump wasn’t that bad, other than

@TMobile @Tesla I'd start out with a family drive in the area, just to get out of the house, and if it all turns into a zombie situation, well, it's a quiet car so we should still be able to go for a drive... ;) #TMobileTuesdays #contest

For the forgotten men of 1st Platoon, Trump’s pardon of an officer they helped convict of murder is a crushing bet… https://t.co/hmVWdz0Ncj

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

Fifty-nine members of the Senate just voted in favor of my amendment to block warrantless government surveillance of Americans' browser history. It failed by just one vote. McConnell is that much closer to giving Bill Barr the green light to spy on Americans' private information.

Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow’s law firm operates from a mailbox? “This is an apparent web of organizations that seem to exist to pay compensation to Sekulow and his family,” says tax expert about his “non-profit” enterprise. Wow. AP investigation by @mbieseck

Senate Republicans just failed the American people & broke their oath to the United States Constitution.

Now that Cipollone has been implicated as fact witness in Trump's scheme, House managers should ask Roberts to remove him from Trump's team and let them cross examine him, law prof Stephen Gillers tells us.

How this would work, from @paulwaldman1 and me:

Mitch recently took $8,400 in campaign contributions from two of the impeachment defense attorneys. Now, he's returning the favor by keeping witnesses from testifying in the trial.

This is the pay-to-play swamp that Mitch created. #SenatorForSale https://t.co/dkRVjDh8FB

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

All right let's do this: Sleight of hand #1: Dersh says he will analyze why the Framers chose the words they did as "the sole criteria for impeachment."

Nope, nothing in the doc says "SOLE CRITERIA." That's a trick he learned from FedSoc, requiring textual fealty.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Donald Trump must be convicted and removed from office.

Because he will always choose his own personal interest over our national interest.

Because in America, right matters. Truth matters.

If not, no Constitution can protect us.

If not, we are lost.

My friend @Judgenap has remained true to his principles:

“What is required for removal of the president? A demonstration of presidential commission of high crimes and misdemeanors, of which in Trump's case the evidence is ample and uncontradicted.” https://t.co/kPfcKDCXcM
