Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.
She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.
The past isn’t past. https://t.co/N5SXxWiCEi

I want senators who will fight for a system where people who are sick don’t need to get up and work long, hard hours.

@EricColumbus @jedshug @SpeakerPelosi Great thread! And thank you for your service to this country. Amazing we got through 234 years successfully but I think our laws would have worked if the GOP hadn’t opted to side with the criminals instead of the Constitution.

You’d think that after 234+ years of Congress all the fundamental legal issues regarding the scope of its powers would have been sorted out by now, but many unsettled issues remain, and it was a thrill to work on them while, I hope, helping the nation a bit. 27/

Special kudos to @kyledcheney and @meghanncuniff for being so quick on the draw in reporting filings that I often learned about developments from their tweets before I had a chance to check my email. 26/

And since I'm doing this on Twitter, I should note that this cursed website is a great way to learn about legal issues. I learned quite a bit here about issues relevant to this job even before I took the job. 25/

I was lucky to have brilliant, funny, and caring colleagues. And to work with stellar committee staff—most intensely with the @January6thCmte staff, the unsung heroes of the effort. I hope to work with them again somewhere, or maybe just sing about them. 23/

We prevailed in the district court; here's the opinion in case for those interested. The three GOP congressmembers appealed, and the case is now awaiting decision in the D.C. Circuit. 22/

Plaintiffs argued that (among other things) the mask requirement violated their free speech rights and that the House resolution imposing a fine was a “law, varying [their] compensation” in violation of the Twenty-Seventh Amendment. 21/

The mask case—in which MTG was one of the three plaintiffs—somehow involved both the First Amendment and the last amendment, the Twenty-Seventh. 20/ https://t.co/Nj1ACVWIml

And there were other, unusual cases, such as when GOP members challenged Pelosi’s allowance of proxy voting, or when they sued to challenge a House resolution that imposed fines on members who violated a House rule that, for a time, required masks on the House floor. 19/

Much of our litigation had nothing to do with January 6. We were involved in several long-running battles to obtain information regarding Trump, most famously the ultimately successful struggle to obtain his taxes, in which we had fantastic help from co-counsel @WilmerHale. 18/

We filed many briefs on behalf of the Select Committee; a few notable cases discussed below. (Side note: Trump's low-energy nickname for it, the "Unselect Committee," is the surest sign that he's lost a step.) 14/

I’m pretty sure that Cheney was one reason why the Select Committee was so successful at convincing so many Republicans—former Trump aides and state officials—– to testify before it. 13/

As the world saw at the hearings, Cheney was intensely dedicated to the Select Committee. It truly was a bipartisan effort, even if most House Republicans pretended otherwise. 12/

She called us the “Al Qaeda 7” and it got my wedding into @thehill. Suffice it to say that I didn’t expect to become her lawyer 11 years later! But I’m very glad that I did. 11/

I had a bit of history with Liz Cheney. In 2010, Cheney and Bill Kristol launched a campaign demanding that DOJ release the names of political appointees who had worked on behalf of Guantanamo detainees. I was one such appointee. 10/

As everyone knows, only 10 House GOP members voted to impeach Trump. And after the GOP torpedoed the plan for a bipartisan 9/11-style January 6 commission, only two Republicans, @RepLizCheney and @AdamKinzinger, voted to establish a Select Committee to investigate January 6. 9/

In the end, of course, Pence did the right thing, and followed the script to the letter. I thought he would try to slip in some stray snide remarks about the election as a sop to Trump. He did not. 6/

The events of January 6, 2021 consumed much of my tenure—starting months before that day. In the fall of 2020, anticipating that Trump might not accept defeat, we helped prepare for the House’s role in a contested election. 3/

We fought at every level of the federal courts to defend House efforts to hold Trump accountable, both during and after his presidency. And we battled efforts by members of the House minority to impede @SpeakerPelosi’s stewardship of the House. 2/
