      The point is that questions about legitimacy precede fights over policy. I think I made that clear, repeatedly. https://twitter.com/owillis/status/810703470361800704 …

      If you think I'm saying that ?s about Obama's birth are comparable to questions about Trump's conflicts etc., I did not. Look again.

          @mikel1814 The birther conspiracy was an attack on the legitimacy of the presidency itself — not a debate over policy or plans.

          It was false, as I say repeatedly; this is not, as I say repeatedly.

          I see what you mean while also seeing how people might want to be a little careful with anything close to a false equivalentcy

          /2 birther plot is fantasy, relies on racist assumptions. Emoluments clause is real, will be violated day 1. Analogy fails.

          It is a discussion of how legitimacy claims continue forward if they're being pressed. I continually say they are not the same.

          'members of the opposing party' went wrong. Every American has a duty to press POTUS to follow the law. Not partisans.

          saying "despite its falsity" and "reasonably or not" does not pull this comparison out of the muck for you.

          I co-sign this co-sign. It may not be what Chris intended, but it's reeks of equivalence.

          you wrote they "plagued Obama" an absolute crap way to describe that, like a mistake plagued him or a bad decision plagued him
