    Not to be missed today: Trump expanding his travel ban to include several countries including Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation. The reason appears to be explicitly about curbing immigration vs a security related rationale via

    I’ve been working on this—my first feature—for months. It’s the story of one family, split in half for no reason by Border Patrol. It’s also a story of how completely US border policy has changed in past yr. Lemme (ahem) explain. 1/

    If senators say they considered all the evidence and don't think the president did what he's accused of doing, that's one thing. But to acquit on a belief that a president can break the law and commit crimes to secure his reelection will be a stain that outlasts this presidency.

    Before the Senate votes to acquit, Senate Democrats should seek to require that senators file written opinions explaining their views—similar to the optional statements after the Johnson & Clinton impeachments. Because a witnessless acquittal is going to set a nasty precedent.

    🚨: Colorado's Senate has voted to abolish the death penalty. The bill is expected to do well in the House. (The Senate proved to be the obstacle last year.) Colorado is well on its way to becoming the 22nd state to abolish the DP.

    By Dershowitz's logic, if a president were to order the military to start rounding up Black people b/c he was afraid they would vote Democrat, so long as he was motivated by the national interest - to get reelected - that would be OK. on .

    "We do not know precisely what James Madison said on September 8, 1787, and we shouldn’t imply to the American people that we do—nor that we need to," argues the historian Mary Sarah Bilder.

    But as I write in the oped, that case (which predates 1868) said nothing about Congress's *own* power to punish people for common law crimes, e.g., via impeachment. So he just conceded that, if not for a case he is misreading, Congress can impeach for abuse of power & obstruction

    That's an enormous concession. Dershowitz claims that common-law crimes are no longer impeachable because an 1812 Supreme Court case held that Congress has never passed a law giving federal *trial courts* power to hear cases involving common-law crimes.

    Dershowitz quotes Pres. Andrew Johnson's lawyer, Benjamin Curtis, to make the point that in 1868, unwritten, or "common law" crimes were considered impeachable offenses. As I write today in , abuse of power and obstruction are common-law crimes.

    Abuse of power may be unwritten in any code, and obstruction of Congress may be implied by statutes, but these crimes are now well established, writes . "If the president did what the House accuses him of doing, he can and should be punished."

    I had a brief Twitter disagreement with my colleague about impeachment and crimes, but this is a thoughtful and important piece.

    Since Ken Starr invoked my professorial namesake Theodore Dwight for the proposition that impeachment requires a crime, I'll re-up this from to put that in context.

    The great is "First Black president of Rutgers," but he isn't the first black college president in his own family. William Trent, a sharecropper, became president of NC's Livingstone College & later founded the United Negro College Fund.
