Could Trump be criminally liable for inciting the #January6th insurrection? Find the answer in a just-published article I co-authored (w/ @micazriel), titled "“We Fight Like Hell”: Applying Brandenburg to Trump’s Speech Surrounding the U.S. Capitol Siege"

@LizMair I would encourage evangelicals who have just discovered this song and want to claim it as their anthem to Google "Martin Gore and harness". 😁

@JustADude9119 @atlbdgr @AnnaBower Nobody said unlimited ability. The judicial branch has authority to consider application of judicial review over exec authority, including "managing its own agency". Arguing the exec is beyond reproach and could/should ignore constitutional checks is the stuff of fascism.

@AndrewFeinberg This represents a massive step in their march toward fascism (by definition). There's no other way to look at it to be honest.

@JustADude9119 @AnnaBower Your statement might have been valid in 1802, pre Marbury versus Madison. Have you been sleeping for 223 years?

President Reagan's speech in 1982 commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the Voice of America makes it crystal clear why this communication platform is essential to communicate American "greatness" with the world, and why Elon wants it eliminated.

Yes, shut them down. 1. Europe is free now (not counting stifling bureaucracy). Hello?? 2. Nobody listens to them anymore. 3. It’s just radical left crazy people talking to themselves while torching $1B/year of US taxpayer money.

@TomBevanRCP It's a good read. The stakes are high. SCOTUS must understand that the rulings they hand down now regarding executive power will carry on as precedent. Just imagine what President AOC will do.

@CryptidPolitics @mkraju Blitzkrieg. Interesting, though unintentionally apt, characterization.

@Jetspete @PhilipWegmann So you are advocating for the CFPB to be more aggressive and have expanded authority... which totally *doesn't* align with trying to shut it down as Trump, Elon, and their big business/bank/tech oligarchs want.
