@PreetBharara Would a binding 'precedent' be created by acquitting POTUS? Can the Senate ignore its own precedents in decision-making? Would it be impossible to ever impeach an officer of the US for abuse of power, for example? #AskPreet

@PreetBharara When Dershowitz says that Hunter Biden is "open for business", does he have immunity against a claim of slander? The Senate is not a court and he is not a Senator, so what would be the basis of an immunity defence? #AskPreet

Mine was a weekend of contrasts. One day I was at the symphony, listening to Schumann and Brucker. The next day I was at the range learning handgun marksmanship.

Embarrassed to say I neglected to mention Caroline Lawrence as one of the contributors to the prototype two years ago. I'm proud to have worked with that whole team, and to have beat CanLII to the idea. 😋

[Paul Holden @phclio]

This new CanLII feature to visually indicate the frequency of citation for specific paras in a case is awesome. Also, proud to say that I developed prototype of this with Anson Lai and Chris Chan at a legal hackathon two years ago. https://t.co/ANC1qvn5T9

Huawei has already won the propaganda battle, by convincing the world that the choice is "Huawei 5G or nothing". But there are several other 5G manufacturers out there without links to the PRC military: Samsung, Ericsson, Cisco, etc.

The president’s legal team is advocating a degree of executive privileges and immunities that would swallow the impeachment power and establish an unconstitutional rule of executive supremacy.

[Paul Holden @phclio]

Again, Part II of the 1974 House Judiciary Committee staff report on "Grounds for Presidential Impeachment" gives a great explanation of "high crimes and misdemeanours". This lays bare the nonsense Dershowitz is promoting: https://t.co/fcOBMwjbBl

I’m wondering how the HK govt thinks its desired ban on face masks would hold up these days

Thank you for finally speaking out about the president.

@WrightCharlesH @yegct I'm not very good at playing "Two truths and a lie".

Apparently people who follow me on twitter know me pretty well.

Last night after work I spent the evening:

[Paul Holden @phclio]

Alan Dershowitz claims he wants to "protect the constitution" by arguing that abuse of power is neither a high crime nor a misdemeanour. LOL.
