This is why I follow you guys! You thoughtfully break down all the newly-decided constitutional points, the roles of each branch of govt in a presidential election, the roles of White House staff, etc., everything vital to this historic case!

[@dadduorp]

Great discussion! Not sure how/why I got this into my feed, but it was VERY informative.

[@JarrodFrates]

Lawfare is a great source for detailed discussions like this.

[@SteveBoyington-i1e]

Love this blog for relatively even-handed detailed discussion.

[@fppgaming3288]

Quintessential Quinta look to begin, love it! :P

[@Everywhere2]

Excellent discussion, thank you.

The Roberts Court will take this brief as an opportunity this to elaborate upon and expand presidential immunity. We are up against the Federalist Society. which is committed to a unitary executive branch. Sooner or later the Senate has to expand the Roberts Court, or democracy will not survive it. Call your Senators.

[@relaxlabmusic1815]

I think bringing the case sooner might have been better because the Supreme Court has become more emboldened, irrational, and unlawful over time. There’s a chance they wouldn’t have dared do this a few years ago. But perhaps that’s not the case.

[@loriomyoreo8224]

I think Bannon was much more than just a megaphone leading up to Jan 6.

[@teamrocket5704]

Quinta is right and scotus is far from done tanking this case

Based on what I looked at it seemed to me that... CC1 is Rudy Guilliani CC2 is Kurt R. Hilbert CC3 is Sidney Powell CC5 is John Eastman CC6 is Kenneth Chesebro P4 is Jason Miller, btw

[@wanderlustworldschooling543]

I think it was Boris Epshteyn had been reported previously to actually suggest starting the riot in Detroit.

[@salishseas]

A puzzle box. Oh no. I am more nervous than ever now that Trump will escape justice. The Supreme Court doesn’t care. We are left dangling out here in this unjust world.

[@gaylecheung3087]

These fools really thought they were going to get away with this

[@TOPDadAlpha]

Why is not trump not in jail awaiting trial??????

[@JarrodFrates]

He's out on personal recognizance. This is extremely common for those not accused of violence.

[@raleedy]

Oh, Elon!

[@JohnD-vv8qg]

Please choose to drop Anna out of the conversation next time there are internet connection problems. Very distracting and details the program.

[@JohnD-vv8qg]

Derails the convo

[@kathym8365]

Anna is great even with internet issues

[@trinidiana]

Yes but Anna is sooooo good

[@PamOrl]

Hearing her thoughts is worth the wait.

[@AlvaSudden]

I was fine with Anna's internet difficulties and found Roger's "Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh" much harder to deal with. He could benefit from speech therapy.

Doesn’t the Lawfare analysts feel at all responsible for identifying redacted witnesses. They are redacted for a reason. Would Lawfare at all feel responsible if any of the redacted witnesses identified by Lawfare are docsed, SWATed, or worse?

[@JarrodFrates]

These aren't secret witnesses. They're redacted because it's DOJ policy to redact or not directly identify names of those who are not indicted. If you read the brief, you'll see that they leave in place descriptors that clearly identify them by position, quote, or other references that make it trivial to identify them.

[@AlvaSudden]

The redacted witnesses were widely identified by major news outlets. Most of us already know who they are.

[@drunkpinata1210]

You do realize you just engaging in TDS fan fiction right?

[@AlvaSudden]

Oooh. You are so convincing. Earth-shaking in fact. I may have to vote for Trump now and for the rest of my life. Not.
