In which Jason implicitly argues, correctly in my view, that Michael Dreeben's framing of the presidential immunity question insulted the justices' intelligence about how politics works, and thus wound up undermining itself.

Presidential immunity isn’t so much a legal question as a value judgment about how democracy should function. The Constitution has no answer. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
Further thought on presidential immunity: Some things in government are better off as unwritten norms rather than written rules. Once you have to turn them into written rules, you are down the path of degrading them anyway. So destructive of Smith to force this issue.
A problem with purging “official acts” from the Trump indictment is it’s not even clear which acts the indictment is saying are *crimes.* The indictment describes Trump’s post-election conduct and speech for 45 pages and announces three laws it says he broke. But which of the…

Was notable in oral argument—and deserves more attention—that Dreeben conceded that AG Garland has ultimate responsibility over Trump’s prosecution.

Biden’s DOJ attacked Trump’s immunity claim with an idealistic account of prosecutors as beyond reproach. The more persuasive case would have dispensed with such myths and relied on political realism. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
“News analysis” of SCOTUS increasingly consists of high-minded gawking and scoffing. It’s liberals’ loss if they don’t even try to understand an important institution of American government. nytimes.com/2024/04/26/us/…
These “experts” need to read @jawillick: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
The argument “SCOTUS needs to create presidential immunity because norms are breaking down” reminds me of, “SCOTUS needs to ban gerrymandering because polarization is getting worse.” Best argument against is that it’s just not SCOTUS’s problem: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
To restore The Onion’s glory days all he needs to do with every submission is think, “would I have flagged this as dangerous disinformation?” and publish if the answer is “yes.”

A provocative column from @jawillick, which highlights an important division in contemporary politics: between those who want to empower the technocratic/prosecutorial to restrain the democratic and those who support more open-ended democratic competition. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Really, all of you should go back and read @jawillick's commentary on the Trump cases over the last few months. You'd have had a much firmer grasp on the issues if you had. Certainly a firmer one than anyone whose diet consisted exclusively of CNN and MSNBC.
In @ForeignPolicy, I argue that it may be helpful for U.S. policymakers to understand problems with our defense industrial base primarily in political, rather than technical, terms. foreignpolicy.com/2024/04/26/def…
A great many bad takes on the war in Gaza are based on a) uncritically believing Hamas's casualty figures and b) wholly lacking any historical perspective. I recommend Azar Gat's expert analysis in @haaretzcom: haaretz.com/opinion/2024-0…
The only bright line rule articulated by the government side today in the Trump immunity case was, “trust the DOJ to do the right thing.” Everything else was a slippery slope of subjective tests and a lack of objective lines.
@jawillick Would love to read you on this. Or maybe this is a future episode of "Impromptu"...
Mismatch between invoking Brewster re: bribes, and insisting on the "outer perimeter" test, no?
I join @RichLowry, @charlescwcooke, and @michaelbd to discuss the campus antisemitism and the spectacle of Trump's trial, but things really get spicy when we get to the House-passed Ukraine aid bill. We could have gone another 30 mins. As good a debate as you're likely to get.

THREAD: A couple weeks ago, @TangleNews broke 100,000 subscribers. Many have made us their primary source of news. I thought it'd be fun to ask our readers why they like Tangle. I'd like to share some of the answers, both to promote our work and shed light on media distrust.
Data points all over to support whatever argument you prefer, but one thing being obscured in the argument over who RFK helps more is that one guy has shown he can win an election where the tipping point state required a majority of the vote and one benefits from lower threshold.
When is the farcical vindication?
The tragic vindication of Bill Barr wapo.st/3Jv8hIk
@jawillick Fantastic piece! Some much-needed sense-making. (And a sad reminder that it's unlikely Trump would be able to appoint another AG with the intellect and gravitas of Bill Barr, given how Trump has treated him since the 2020 election. Who would sign on for that abuse?)
I can tell you with confidence that a fair number of them are sitting at U.S. Navy submarine reactor control panels. Lots of enlisted nukes are really smart folks who just didn’t care enough to get good grades or dropped out of college and signed up, then pegged the ASVAB. ⚛️
Much more interesting to me to think about how you could reliably find these people
@jawillick problem is the myths she peddles aren't unifying
If you want to see what principled free speech advocacy looks like, check out these two pieces from @jawillick and @jkirchick, both of whom are pro-Israel but were willing to forcefully defend pro-Palestinian speech however much they disagreed with it. This is the model.…
It would be more effective to just tax the endowments.

My understanding is that they think they *should* charge situations. Q obstruction is just worse than BLM obstruction and should therefore be subject to stricter penalties.
J6 was dreadful. But problem for Sotomayor (and others') notion of 'J6 exceptionalism' is there is no violence requirement in the obstruction law. Prosecutors don't charge "situations" or events, they charge specific acts of specific people. politico.com/news/2024/04/1…
In what could be a preview for tomorrow’s oral arguments on 1512c2, SCOTUS justices go hard at DOJ to get a specific definition for “corruptly,” an element in the Fischer case challenging 1512c2 in J6 cases. c-span.org/video/?534908-…
