@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. 😋
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

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.
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
