Attorney and policy researcher interested in election law, democratic theory, and constitutional design, among other things. My favorite animal is poopies.

@JackPosobiec Do you seriously believe any liberals would deny this? Just odd, frankly.

@DietCoke_Esq I eat the foods I like least first so I can enjoy the rest more

@RobertTalisse *was* a rite of passage

[Eliezer Poupko @EliPoupko]

@RobertTalisse The movie Stand by Me makes like this is a rite of passage for pre-teen American boys.

@Jakethecrazy19 @JusticeHorn_ Truth, as much as anyone wants to deny it. Working class Americans are generally anything but progressive.

@GregTSargent Everyone here is saying Miller, but he's not a lawyer. I would assume that the OLC is advising the president on this matter. Not hard to find out who is in currently in charge there.

@DylanoA4 OCD?

@JosephPolitano 2% for looking in the mirror twice

@2025_bill @TheRaybender @JamesSurowiecki (maybe a gerund, not technically a verb? point is it refers to rules for the governing of the military, not rules for the government itself)

[Eliezer Poupko @EliPoupko]

@2025_bill @TheRaybender @JamesSurowiecki Good point (not the illiterate clown part). The word government is being used here as a verb, not a noun (the clause authorizes Congress to make rules for both the governing of and the regulation of the military)

[Eliezer Poupko @EliPoupko]

@TheRaybender @JamesSurowiecki Source needed. I'm fairly certain constitutional "rules" and "regulations" are legally interchangeable terms.

@BAvanzar @thomaschattwill The intent of an argument is logically irrelevant to its truth or falsity.

[Eliezer Poupko @EliPoupko]

@thomaschattwill Have you not heard the news that two wrongs now make a right?

[Eliezer Poupko @EliPoupko]

@trouble_man90 I saw a sign today that said "resist Trump and the Democrats"... so there's that.

@ItzikBasman I prefer Seychelles

@fant_baseballer @Waterquag @whstancil Something we all should be able to agree upon.

[Eliezer Poupko @EliPoupko]

@Waterquag @NiftuA @whstancil FYI, this is not the definition of executive authority, even in corporations. The chief executive officer is removable by and answers to the board of directors. In no sense is a chief executive's power "unfettered."

[Eliezer Poupko @EliPoupko]

@mattyglesias It's complicated
