#SCOTUS does NOT need to decide every fact pattern to find there is clearly no immunity for a president's attempt to overthrow an election. Roberts said in 2022: "If it is not necessary to decide more to dispose of a case, then it is necessary not to decide more." #StopTheStall
Ohio is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. @CitizenMapsOH is working to amend the OH Constitution this November to establish a citizen-led independent redistricting process. Learn more about their campaign: bit.ly/4b4Slbu
Yesterday's oral argument in the Trump immunity case didn't change the facts. As @RonBrownstein notes, citing the brief we filed on behalf of 15 historians, the founders "'converged on the same understanding: The President can be prosecuted.'" theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
My thoughts on yesterday's SCOTUS hearing and the historians' contribution to it. @BrennanCenter youtube.com/watch?v=UtcmdQ…
PACs, super PACs and secret money groups, oh my! What's the difference, and how are they used to hide the true sources of election spending from voters? We turned to CLC's Executive Director @AdavNoti for a quick, watered-down explanation in our latest #CLCExplains video.
"Regardless of what you think of the outer bounds of presidential immunity, there is no immunity for corrupt attempts to overturn the result of a presidential election," @WendyRWeiser salon.com/2024/04/25/tru…
Peter Keisler sums it up well: "We don't protect the presidency by immunizing somebody who tries to steal it."
Peter Keisler sums it up well: "We don't protect the presidency by immunizing somebody who tries to steal it."
That question is simply whether a former President of the United States may be prosecuted for attempting to remain in power notwithstanding the election of his successor by the American People.
As with the three-hour argument in Trump v. Anderson, a disconcertingly precious little of the two-hour argument today was even devoted to the specific and only question presented for decision.
Since all parties concede that at least some of Trump's conduct is amenable to prosecution, #SCOTUS must act quickly. It should not be complicit in the delay tactic to avoid accountability for #January6th. No one is above the law. #StopTheStall.
The Justices did not seem amenable to the argument that impeachment is a prerequisite to criminal prosecution of a president. And for good reason. Read my @BrennanCenter colleague, Alice Clapman's, piece on this: brennancenter.org/our-work/analy…
Regardless of what you think of the outer bounds of presidential immunity, there is no immunity for corrupt attempts to overturn the result of a presidential election. #SCOTUS does not need to decide every case to decide this one.
We should not lose track of the fact that early on Trump's lawyer conceded that major portions of the indictment allege acts that no one claims are subject to immunity.
Barrett: remand for trial to decide private/official. what about special counsel's request for speed? SHE SPEAKS TO THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM -- TIMING. FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY.
The script-flipping here is a remarkable: rather than focus on the severity and precedent of what’s before them - whether Trump should be prosecuted for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 election - they appear focused on the potential for a future president to be…
This #SCOTUS argument obscures the central question: whether a former president is absolutely immune from prosecution for using both private means and public levers of power corruptly to attempt to overturn a presidential election and prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
Whether a former president can be prosecuted for attempting to overturn the results of an election he lost is only a hard legal question if you ignore the allegation that a former president attempted to overturn the results of an election he lost. @BrennanCenter

WATCH: @jbouie joins @chrislhayes after writing in his NYT opinion column, "Trump has asked the Supreme Court if he is, in effect, a king. And at least four members of the court, among them the so-called originalists, have said, in essence, that they’ll have to think about it."
More Members of Congress should call for passing strong voting rights bills. Just bc it isn’t happening tomorrow doesn’t mean you stop talking about it. Only by citing urgent need & pressing for them over & over are we ever going to create the circumstances to make it possible.🗳
Exactly, and the sky didn’t fall. Future Illinois Governors did not fail to govern. They did not stage a January 6 to avoid leaving office. In the many instances in which states have prosecuted former governors including for official acts, none of the parade of horribles followed
Among the best arguments against the "official acts" nonsense in SCOTUS is former governor Illinois Rod Blagojevich. In the official act of appointing a U.S. senator, he solicited bribes. Crime is crime.

When issues of presidential accountability come before SCOTUS, *usually* justices limit themselves to the facts in front of them. US v. Nixon said: "Yes, there's executive privilege, it may have future limits, anyway it doesn't apply here." Nixon resigned 2 weeks later. 1/3

I enjoyed every minute writing this @MsMagazine piece with my brilliant @BrennanCenter colleague Julia Fishman. We explain how small donor public financing is a powerful tool to help more women get elected. And fortunately, it's a reform on the march. msmagazine.com/2024/04/25/sma…

"Regardless of what you think of the outer bounds of presidential immunity, there is no immunity for corrupt attempts to overturn the result of a presidential election," @WendyRWeiser salon.com/2024/04/25/tru…
You can tell that @earlymodjustice Holly Brewer and (excellent) company wrote a decisive brief on the framing history and presidential immunity by the fact that the neo-royalist justices almost totally avoided historical arguments today. 1/
@jbf1755 @BrennanCenter Yesterday on Jennifer Rubin’s podcast, interviewee John Dean singled out your brief. Maybe not a Supreme Court justice… audioboom.com/posts/8494927-…
YAY HISTORY! So proud of having anything to do with one of those briefs. The @BrennanCenter’s brief was superb.
Sotomayor cites amicus briefs received by Supreme Court in this case detailing how founding fathers once considered immunity for President, but didn't include immunity in founding documents of our nation
"noncitizen voting is simply not a widespread/even a significant occurrence. And it’s already illegal...If Congress wants to improve our electoral system... focus instead on guaranteeing & protecting the freedom to vote for eligible voters." @BrennanCenter brennancenter.org/our-work/analy…
The Supreme Court needs to get out of the way and let Trump’s federal January 6 trial begin. bit.ly/4cRtZnh
Look who I found outside of the Supreme Court! @KatiePhang
Our Peter Keisler spoke with @NPR @NinaTotenberg this morning regarding Trump vs. U.S.: "We don't protect the presidency by immunizing somebody who tries to steal it." npr.org/2024/04/25/124…
Due to Trump attorney's concessions in Supreme Court oral argument, there's now a very clear path for DOJ's case to go forward. It'd be a travesty for Justices to delay matters further. Justice Amy Coney Barrett got Trump attorney to concede core allegations are private acts.⬇️
