A lot is going on.

Don’t lose sight of the fact that anti-abortion activists are now trying to ban abortions that are *necessary to save women’s organs (including their reproductive organs).*

And #SCOTUS might let them.

Post a picture with your dog that doesn’t involve shooting them and throwing them in a gravel pit.

Thanks to #WhataDay for having me on to recap the immunity case!

Will the US Supreme Court delay Trump's federal trials by waiting to release its decision in June?

Thanks so much to Tommy Vietor & alyssa mastromonaco for having me on to discuss the wild last few days of arguments at SCOTUS on immunity and emergency treatment at hospitals!

As Justice Jackson noted at oral argument today ... 'Professor Lederman ... goes on and on and on ... .'

Guilty as charged!

you (democracy) wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

Wow Trump's lawyer declined rebuttal.
Probably an accurate read on the fact that he thinks SCOTUS is going to give them a big part of what they want - additional delay that prevents a pre-election trial

Dreeben/Special Counsel: For an incumbent POTUS to use his presidential powers to try and help a coup succeed makes the offense worse

Kagan: 'Now that set of issues seems important, but they also seem like they're ... not before us?'

Alito: 'What is required for a stable democratic society, which we all want?'

America: Court reform.

Shorter Sam Alito: 'What if a POTUS makes a little mistake, like a little boo--boo, like attempting to overturn the results of an election and/or do a coup?'

NMG: 'Nobody knows what corrupt intent means'
Dreeben: 'We're probably going to find out'

To be clear, such an outcome could *effectively* immunize DJT by ensuring that the case never gets to a jury before the 2024 election.

Ugh CJR just floated 'sending it back' to the court of appeals for more proceedings ....

Trump lawyer says 'it might well be an official act' (and thus immune from prosecution) if a president ordered the military to stage a coup

Kagan follow up: 'That sounds ... pretty bad doesn't it?'
