john yoo is trending

I'll just say this: if John Yoo says an executive official can't do something, they definitely can't do it https://t.co/TWuGF9PPPb

Pence looked for legal advice on whether he could upset the election, and John Yoo, Mike Luttig, and Pence's counsel Greg Jacob agreed he had no such power. Only John Eastman disagreed (although was he acting as Trump's lawyer when he made that arg?) https://t.co/NWy2NKJxSW https://t.co/uHr5ikZu0l

Jesus, the fate of our country came down to the legal arguments and moral compass of john yoo??! We really did barely make it past that day. https://t.co/BKPg10ZoKG

Per @MaggieNYT, @peterbakernyt and @anniekarni: John Yoo was among the legal experts Pence consulted on his role in the Electoral College process. https://t.co/FmD0sWBkkQ

luv to see John Yoo quoted by the NYT simply as a "legal scholar" https://t.co/wVIHQ0Q06C

Who had good old John Yoo on their bingo card? Blast from the past! https://t.co/nK0bVBXP02

Something that gives me less hope of those responsible for last week’s insurrection being brought to justice is this @nytimes article referring to torture memo author John Yoo as simply “a legal scholar” and “a prominent conservative”. https://t.co/z5twUPhiXi

now W is rehabilitated and John Yoo is just a legal scholar because history, even recent history, is nothing

Everyone: How can you quote John Yoo without mentioning torture?! NYT: Well actually https://t.co/3mWFNZvpkP https://t.co/UZoKQXj8bD

If you think Trump people won’t be rehabilitated by national media in short order...NYT not only seeks out John Yoo for legal expertise, but doesn’t even note what he did for Bush. https://t.co/D1aMEwygGU

in case you were wondering what Lew Rockwell was up to these days: 1) he believes antifa caused the riot on the capitol 2) he's now positively citing John Yoo of torture memo fame and calling him a good constitutional scholar

“Pence had a choice between his constitutional duty and his political future, and he did the right thing,” said John Yoo. "He did his duty even though he must have known, when he did it, that that probably meant he could never become president.” https://t.co/arL2P8fyW8

But was John Yoo, who wrote the Torture Memos, really the only legal scholar they could quote? https://t.co/mwX2QsPKwu

Pompeo on Pacific Century Podcast With Co-Hosts Michael Auslin and John Yoo -"Chinese Communist Party, as I have said, is inside the gates here, and there is a responsibility of every American citizen to be mindful of that, to be aware of it" https://t.co/0uTp8gfXbg

“Pence had a choice between his constitutional duty & his political future, & he did the right thing,” said John Yoo, a legal scholar consulted by Mr. Pence’s office.” ⁦ “Legal scholar”?? How about “war criminal who justified the Bush Torture program.” https://t.co/ShqOs6LEBK

The first authority New York Times cites on constitutional law in its breathless piece about Mike Pence is John Yoo, who wrote the memos that gave a legal veneer to torture. This is what happens when you only look forward. The architects of torture live on, reputations intact. https://t.co/bpm0poqd0i

The fact that Pence solicited from John Yoo says quite a bit https://t.co/NYJtcKkunE

Here is the #NYTimes shamefully protecting a Rightist US political class: Pence had a choice between his constitutional duty and his political future, and he did the right thing,” said John Yoo, a legal scholar. Yoo is not just any “legal scholar” 1/ https://t.co/0tKYhFNw4J

“‘I think he was the man of the hour in many ways — for both Democrats and Republicans. He did his duty even though he must have known, when he did it, that that probably meant he could never become president.’” Why is the @nytimes entertaining John Yoo at all?

“‘Pence had a choice between his constitutional duty and his political future, and he did the right thing,’said John Yoo, a legal scholar consulted by Mr. Pence’s office. “ HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT THEFUCKFIRSTTIMEINMORETHANFOURYEARS https://t.co/cmNTBtznFD

The really interesting parts of this article are about the role played by the farthest right of mainstream American legal culture, John Yoo and Michael Luttig in Pence's interfering with the election. https://t.co/L8laphnvln https://t.co/95OGCQiCfb

@JuliusGoat Fucking Peter and Maggie casually quoting Torture Memo John Yoo without any qualifiers.

@JoyAnnReid @RiskyLiberal A 4 foot tall participation trophy for pence....yay! Thank you for doing your job...in my world, doing the minimum gets a “C” ...but Pence gets an A+, a happy face & gold stars from John yoo & Flake.

@jimsciutto Biden should now exclude Pence from the inauguration. You just knew that they would dig up John Yoo....the guy that said torture is fine and dandy.

Isn't John Yoo the guy that came up with the Torture Memos for the Bush administration? https://t.co/0dkMXzvXKG

@mattbpete The description of John Yoo is nauseating.

I see we have reached the “noted war crime justifier and embarrassment to UC Berkeley John Yoo praises Mike Pence for not abetting a coup” stage of the news cycle. #FiatLux and #GoBears. https://t.co/Pmsp4Tdmjh

@dabeard @morten And we care one little bit what John Yoo has to say about anything?

@dabeard @morten Yeah, John Yoo, the dude that got America into the torture business....

@OrinKerr @mcfslaw Although John Yoo did say that members of Congress could be waterboarded. @UCBerkeley
