1 It’s a pity that nobody is talking about the sheer breach of US & Indian laws that @RoKhanna is advocating. He essentially asked for the head of government to interfere in the workings of the Judiciary. Surely it violates US law as well @SpeakerMcCarthy? #SeparationOfPowers 
2 what’s more in bringing up his grandad - he has asked Modi to do EXACTLY what Indira did in 1975 - reverse electoral disqualification through an act of parliament - essentially emergency. Remember his grandad voted for the emergency precisely to avoid Indira being disqualified
3 Essentially, Ro is his grandad’s grandson in every sense of the word:
1) supporting dynastic immunity from law
2) calls for an end to the separation of powers
This is EXACTLY what Indira did & what his grandad supported in 1975. This is EXACTLY what Ro wants in 2023

On #StPatricksDay2023 I want to shout out to my compatriots from #Ireland producing some of the most incisive, compelling, and agenda-setting scholarship in global constitutional law today. Read them, follow them, connect with them.
A loooong (but very incomplete) thread 🧵

A few quick starting notes for a global audience.
I often think constitutional law research by Irish scholars is so rich because of our unique context, in a constitutional system that has one foot in colonialism and conflict, and one (today) in the rich Global North.

#Ireland's war of independence, civil war, 1922 Constitution, partition, and 1937 Constitution (still in force) sets our experience apart from the gradualist constitutional development of e.g. #Canada, #Australia, #NewZealand, but has commonalities with other states (e.g. India).
Appalling bit of subediting(?) but the article itself lays out both the history and US context of #RoeVsWade and the consequences of overturning it with rather more nuance:

The "right approach" the writer appears to support 👇 is the codification of the #RightToChoose into federal #law - which should have happened decades ago. The major issue being the parlous state of US politics...
For the avoidance of doubt, I absolutely support women's #RightToChoose - it is not for ANY authority to tell people what they can or can't do with their bodies. Anger is justified, but not enough; this is an issue around which people must #mobilise and begin taking back #agency.

Sad day for #Democracy in #SriLanka... a large majority of MPs voted to enact #20A to reduce checks and balances, and to concentrate powers in the office of President...

Several Govt MPs who objected to clauses such as that permitting dual citizens seeking election to Parliament, (and those who said they could not in good conscience vote for 20A), voted for it anyway! #Hypocrisy
Thanks, @Dahlialithwick, for inviting me to join you to talk about #federalism, the #TenthAmendment, and serving as a State AG. In this thread, I will highlight some of the points we touched on. slate.com/podcasts/amicu…
As I noted at the outset, @Dahlialithwick is amazing. She masterfully captured Justice Ginsburg's delivery of a speech originally written by her husband Marty, entitled "How the Tenth Circuit Got My Wife Her Good Job.” Warning--be ready for a good cry. slate.com/news-and-polit…
We spent a lot of time talking about #federalism and #separationofpowers. Both principles are part of our legal fabric and embodied in our Constitution. In a recent decision I discuss, Colorado defended both and won an important victory over the DOJ. coag.gov/press-releases…

“Has the presidency grown so powerful that it’s thrown our constitutional balance out of whack?” These are the questions we will contemplate today. ACS Interim President Zinelle October opens our symposium. #ACSLawEvents
We need to reassert the proper powers of Congress, says @RepRaskin: "Because we live in a time of such untrammeled executive power, we need to develop a series of statutory frameworks to deal with this power." #ACSLawEvents
Senator Lindsey Graham cited his experience as a judge today,in angry comments after Dr Blase Ford's testimony. He didn't mention he was kicked off that job; Military Appeals Court said it was unconsitutional to be both. scribd.com/document/38961… #WHPDaily #Indivisible #AltGov #Law
US v Lane: .@LindseyGrahamSC Cannot Be a Member of Congress and a JAG Judge. He got caught out. scribd.com/document/38961… #AltGovDaily #IndivisibleTimes #WHPDaily #AltGov #Indivisible #SVRAV #Law #JAG #Congress #SeparationOfPowers
.@LindseyGrahamSC with neither the Facts nor the Law on his side, pounds the table in angry #Kavanaugh Hearing rant, sanctimoniously citing ethics while ignoring his past ethical lapse trying to be a JAG judge & MOC at the same time scribd.com/document/38961… cc .@tribelaw .@RWPUSA
