DOJ tells court that Congress can't sue to enforce subpoenas | TheHill

The Trump administration told a federal judge on Thursday that Congress cannot sue the executive branch, attempting to fight off a House committee's subpoena for documents related to aborted efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. James Burnham, an attorney with the Justice Department, argued that Congress cannot use the courts to enforce its subpoenas. It can only use the legislative tools it has at its disposal, he said.....

There Is No Christian Case for Trump - The Atlantic

An editorial last month in the evangelical world’s flagship publication, Christianity Today, argued that Donald Trump should be removed from office. The editorial, the last one written by the editor in chief Mark Galli before his planned retirement, heartened those evangelicals who have been unsettled by their co-religionists’ enthusiastic support for Trump. But the editorial upset many others, since white evangelicals constitute arguably the strongest base of support for the president. ....

While pushing unsafe anti-abortion laws, Ohio's forced-birthers say they only want women's safety

One of the leading propaganda claims of the forced-birthers since they began their crusade against women’s reproductive rights has been that they want to ensure women are safely treated at abortion clinics. That, of course, is something every sane person wants. But this professed concern from the forced-birthers is actually a clumsy distraction from the real goal of ending all legal abortion. Doing so would gravely damage women’s health and safety, as hundreds of thousands sought illegal abortions any way they could get one. That makes no difference to those who believe abortion is the devil’s handiwork.

Republican members of Trump’s cult ‘are eager to crown him a monarch and we should be scared stiff’: conservative columnist – Raw Story

In a piece published at the Washington Post this Wednesday, columnist Jennifer Rubin contends that Trump defense team member Alan Dershowitz’s argument that Trump “can act corruptly in foreign policy if he thinks it is good for the country that he be reelected” is nothing less than an argument that makes Trump “an absolute monarch and reads the impeachment power out of the Constitution.” https://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/republican-members-of-trumps-cult-are-eager-to-crown-him-a-monarch-and-we-should-be-scared-stiff-conservative-columnist/

Republicans have surrendered on Trump's guilt. They're making a last stand with 'So what if he did?'

Reporting on whether Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has secured enough support to shut down the possibility of witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump is all over the map. Some reports have insisted that “10 or 12” Republicans are actually looking fearfully at the overwhelming public opinion in favor of witnesses, while other reports have been just as insistent that McConnell has waved enough head-pikes to successfully keep rebellion clear of dastardly facts. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2020/1/29/1914859/-Republicans-have-surrendered-on-Trump-s-guilt-they-re-making-a-last-stand-with-So-what-if-he-did

How Trump's Israel-Palestine Plan Will Change the Region | Time

Over the last two days, I received an exclusive early look at President Donald Trump’s proposed plan to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict. The effort was led by the president’s son-in-law and senior advisor, Jared Kushner. The administration’s peace plan tears up the playbook of prior presidents who have tried and failed to make real progress on peace in the region. The Trump “ultimate deal” is unabashed power politics. It recognizes Israeli power on the ground and recent dramatic shifts in the region’s geopolitics. On top of it all, it’s a deal that carries domestic political upside for the president in the midst of an impeachment hearing.
