1. This Thursday, Walter Oleszek retires from the Congressional Research Service. He arrived there 55 years ago back when CRS was the Legislative Reference Service.
The great @jacklgoldsmith’s op-ed @nytopinion on the Trump 1/6 indictment is articulate & provocative but wrong The terrible consequences he speculates about are dubious But the terrible consequences of NOT prosecuting are greater & more certain 1/x brookings.edu/articles/democ…
Don’t threaten me with a good time.* * = Getting to write about the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, and DOJ-specific vacancy laws, like it was the Trump days when they just didn’t even nominate people.

Sixty years ago today, two heroic, courageous and idealistic young Black Americans, Vivian Malone and James Hood, entered the University of Alabama after JFK federalized the Alabama National Guard and Governor George Wallace stepped aside after trying to bar them:
Tammany Hall now a Petco.

Quite correct; in addition, many states in the 19th century adopted laws enfranchising aliens (not citizens) who had lived in the US for a couple of years and declared their intention to become citizens.

"As we head toward possibly one of the most consequential and fraught presidential elections in history, we can’t be complacent because the pressure is on...We’re going to see everything thrown at the wall, good and bad."— @VBass explains what's to come. penncapital-star.com/campaigns-elec…
My January 6 radio appearance on LA’s @knxnews with hosts @knxcharles & @KNXarcher, plus fellow guests Congressman @BradSherman & author Victoria @VBass to discuss legacy of #J6. omny.fm/shows/knxam-on…
OKAY, here’s the thing about “members-elect”: it obscures more than it clarifies, and the House should legislate to clarify going forward. (1/x)

@JaneMayerNYer It doesn’t matter. Lying to Congress is a federal crime, so Congressional testimony is not always under oath.
Bittersweet moment- the final episode (for now) of @SkullduggeryPod with two great guests: @RepRaskin and @judgeluttig. And stick around to the end for the bloopers reel! @dklaidman @VBass. It’s been quite a ride. art19.com/shows/skulldug…
Bittersweet indeed. After nearly 500 episodes it’s tough to see it go, so many great experiences putting this pod out. Huge thanks to @dklaidman @Isikoff @VBass - nothing beats working w/ ppl who actually want to be there, I’m proud of it all. @YahooNews @SkullduggeryPod

My contribution to the new art form—the long thread pointing out what strikes me as new and important in the final J6C Report. I also commend other examples in the category from friends and colleagues, eg @rgoodlaw and @NormEisen. W/ 850 or so pages, more than enuf to go around!
NEW: How do we assess #January6thReport from #January6thCommittee & where do the investigations go from here? @RepRaskin & one of the star witnesses @judgeluttig join to discuss on the final episode of #Skullduggery. @Isikoff @dklaidman @VBass @YahooNews art19.com/shows/skulldug…
Luttig: If convicted, “I don’t know that a district court judge would have any choice” but to sentence Trump to prison. @SkullduggeryPod @dklaidman @VBass news.yahoo.com/former-federal…
If Trump is indicted over MAL, he won't be the first presidential candidate to be prosecuted by DOJ. As #AdamHochshild-author of #AmericanMidnight- details on @SkullduggeryPod that distinction belongs to Eugene Debs, 5 time Socialist Party candidate, who was charged, convicted...
