@joshgerstein And “haste makes waste”…. Or, rather, haste sacrifices quality and accuracy.

@BeschlossDC @jmart The look of pain. He knows that this Court will forever bear his name on it…

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@kyledcheney Absolutely correct.We have never before seen this level of sarcasm and outrage in a judicial ruling. Judge Biery takes his place among the other extraordinarily courageous federal judges - who are “extraordinary” simply because they are doing their job competently. What a world!

@IAmAmnaNawaz

Oh my! Hats off to Amna for standing firm against an unbelievably obnoxious and condescending Richard Grenell. How she remained eminently professional against his direct insults to her and to PBS, I do not know. So grateful to her for her integrity.

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@ML73050761 @BrennanCenter Yes this is absolutely correct.

@jimsciutto @EricColumbus Stephen Miller is Trump 2.0 version of David Addington. Except that Miller makes Addington seem like a choir boy, in comparison.

@jacklgoldsmith Don’t give him any ideas! And, anyway, firing Roberts would, of course, be unconstitutional, although that little obstacle hasn’t stopped Trump so far and has actually encouraged him to defy the Constitution and then, say, “so, what are you going to do about it?”

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@TristanSnell Or get competent lawyers who will advise you (although you won’t listen to them, anyway)…

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@joshgerstein @BenAdamsO_O Thanks!!

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@SophiaCai99 Congrats, Sophia!

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@RonBrownstein Excellent article…. A must-read about just “some” of the ways that Trump will fail (and there are others, too).

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@steve_vladeck @whignewtons Oy.

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@rudalev Right….didn’t anyone tell Trump he needs a statute to create a department? (Oh, that is just a pesky little detail that only deep state nerds care about…). So, yes, this cannot be an actual “department” unless Congress gets on board to create it and fund it.

@WalshFreedom @KamalaHarris In the same mode as “Reagan Dems,” these are “Harris Republicans.” On Tuesday, we will see just how many of them there are…they have been largely silent but will “speak” on Tuesday.

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@Yamiche It makes a difference when you have smart lawyers. And Dems have them.

@BMeiselas "October surprise" in reverse? Where the candidate actually is the source of the "surprise"... and it backfires on the candidate.

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@nytmike This is an amazing bit of reporting… thanks for including memo drafts. They were written as if explaining something to a 5-year-old. And what were the “secret WH documents” to which you had access?? Tantalizing….

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@JoyceWhiteVance Exactly.

[nancy kassop @kassopn]

@tribelaw Perfection. “10,000 people, maybe more…” and I was there to witness it.
