This is the money quote for the whole Trump v. United States case. Justice Barrett has it exactly right — and shows why the Court (and maybe the Special Counsel) is making this way too hard. The sole question should be whether acts relating to running for president are core

The ignorance in this tweet is astonishing. The Net was born neutral. From the beginning, the FCC and others fought to keep it neutral. The 2015 rules assured its neutrality. Then the clueless (or corrupt) took that protection away.

Snowflake, believing online propaganda: "OMG w/o net neutrality, the Internet is gone!" Informed observer: "You know, the FCC issued that rule in 2015. The Internet grew up wonderfully free from govt regulation & this restores the status quo ante." Snowflake: "Uh, never mind..."

We believe there are now at least 20 GOP electors considering a vote of conscience. Last week, there was 1. ow.ly/vHxS3076kVa

So @SenWarren is in a tough place, choosing btw a probable primary winner and his principled opponent. But remember: @JoeBiden is the only major Dem candidate NOT TO commit to making fundamental reform – what she calls anti-corruption reform – happen first. @SenSanders has.

Brilliant piece by Philip Howard. But let's not forget that @AndrewYang is also the most aggressive campaign finance reformer left on stage. That too is a critical part of fixing government: "Promising the moon, ignoring broken government" ow.ly/wxtb30pxMFU

“winner take all” is not in the constitution: the vote if electoral votes were allocated proportionally.

Why Bush v. Gore might mean that Clinton should be president: The EP argument against winner-take-all: #1p1vote

The Equal Protection argument against “winner take all” in the Electoral College

Jill Stein could do something critically important here — help her?

Jill Stein raises over $4.5m to request US election recounts in battleground states

exactly, which makes this so bizarre. We all can understand that when the president is candidate, his obligations are different. He's got to pay for Airforce One, for example. Why the Court couldn't see this is bizarre.

Brilliant event with @SenSanders tonight in Concord with @ZephyrTeachout. Every answer, perfect - especially his committing to @RoKhanna’s democracy vouchers and making reform issue number 1.
