FWIW,
@chrislhayes, not even a declaration of “national emergency” would enable Trump to seize the private property needed for his wall without specific authorization from Congress. Truman learned that the hard way in SCOTUS’s Steel Seizure decision (1952)(enjoining the seizure).https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1081339311667200000 …Thanks.

These “military eminent domain” cases are all about seizing enemy property or property about to fall into enemy hands. Last time I checked, the United States wasn’t at war with ranchers in California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas.https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1081292515356143618 …

The fact that 10 U.S. Code § 2663 authorizes seizure of land for a list of purposes (eg “military training camps” & “coast defenses”) that doesn’t include building walls to keep immigrants out would be treated under the Steel Seizure decision as akin to a congressional ban.

Exactly. And the Steel Seizure precedent, Youngstown Sheet & Tube v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952), is universally accepted as binding constitutional law even in undoubted wartime emergencies.https://twitter.com/asharangappa_/status/1081383218325139456 …

Yep. Just read Michael Lewis’s The Fifth Risk. Team Trump is clueless about what each govt department is there to do.https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1081353458396078086 …

So? I’m for indicting without fear or favor, following the law and neither shielding presidents nor tossing them to the mercies of mob “justice.”https://twitter.com/politicususa/status/1080981116528586752 …

Impeachment mustn’t become a popularity contest — or an unpopularity contest. Tilting either way on that axis would wreck our republic.https://twitter.com/lawrence/status/1081198345153069056 …

BREAKING NEWS: Trump just threatened to use his “emergency powers” to deploy the military to build his Great Wall without permission from Congress. This deserves much more attention than it’s getting — so far. Watch this space.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/01/presidential-emergency-powers/576418/ …

I’m among the “experts” quoted as agreeing that any sitting president can be indicted if it’s done the right way. Just saying.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/01/03/nancy-pelosi-says-trump-is-not-immune-indictment-some-legal-experts-agree/ …

I agree with
@RepCummings and@JoshuaMatz8 about the congresswoman’s crude impeachment remark. But the way Trump’s base is exploiting her outburst is sheer hypocrisy. Dem leaders are approaching the “I” word with due care. GOP leaders are using it as a taunt and a dare.https://twitter.com/JoshuaMatz8/status/1081236120992710658 …Thanks.

Very shrewd point in the excellent
@tribelaw / Matz impeachment book: "impeachment talk" is most often started by a president's *supporters* to mobilize (& fundraise from!) allies.

Only two possible answers to
@davidfrum’s excellent question: Trump is either Putin’s puppet or a complete fool — or both. Either one would put our national security at grave risk. The combination is disastrous.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/01/trump-just-endorsed-ussrs-invasion-afghanistan/579361/ …Thanks.
