I did once write a footnote in an opinion for my judge to preserve the possibility that the state could raise all children in communes. No need to decide the issue until it is ripe! (I think the judge left it in–maybe not.) https://t.co/4j7CWLBdgC

Doesn't seem to take seriously the possibility that there are fewer domestic violence reports because there is less domestic violence. https://t.co/iQkgPLRSUb

Note: States seem to have right idea about the relationship of central government vs. localities, namely if the central government says something, it wins. Clear hierarchy. No "cities' rights" BS. You could eliminate a year from law school curriculum if the US had this clear rule https://t.co/Fe0g0szlYt

Out of my area here, but weren't the percentages originally touted by the Open Up/Herd Immunity strategists way higher than this — say 10% to 30%? E.g.: https://t.co/chmXZ9zPEC https://t.co/9MGSMqRM3I

If the CDC is behaving like China — and it is, stonewalling and sugarcoating about its disastrous missteps and inexplicable delays — that suggests some universal instincts of bureaucracies are at work. https://t.co/NIYYwWxXVX

I'd missed this good clear reporting on the CDC screw up. Does seem like it was actual maladministration. Doesn't quite name names–but Messonnier, on up the line to Trump, have a lot of 'splainin to do https://t.co/86E1p0n1bh

Trump is leading from behind!
Unusual precedent, *if* it works. A piece that gives coherence to what may have been an ad hoc response but which may now be less ad hoc because it takes this article as a guide. Like wiseguys learning how to talk like wiseguys from wiseguy movies. https://t.co/nJfIuApr5z

Also undercuts @ABlinken's video argument that it was all-important that we get our CDC guys into China, no? We were getting info from CDC people at WHO. Trump just ignored it, apparently. https://t.co/dYgCTXRcfd

Another "could reach capacity" piece. They have 1,000 beds for corona patients. They've treated "more than 100 … in the past week." Doesn't *sound* dire. … Glad they built enough (if they did)! https://t.co/PL0plLR8D5

Another multi-byline effort that doesn't get to the nub of Trump's delay. We need tick-tock or *something* to show what he was thinking. What influence did Rush have? Was he conned by Xi? https://t.co/0U523O5tMw

Relevant Cotton tweets: On Jan 30, calling for shutdown of commercial air travelhttps://t.co/UBT0oyYWv4

Here's Cotton in JANUARY getting a bit of grief for missing impeachment to sound the coronavirus alarm with administration. He makes his position clear. Presumably he thought it wouldn't help to turn it into an anti-Trump stunt (and he may have been right) https://t.co/Y1W1Xn6mg6 https://t.co/7E88STbSAp

Biden also wants an inquiry into "how it started, where it's from." [see 2:30 in] So no argument then. It's not settled and nbody trusts the Chinese government. https://t.co/A2uMPHrVBj

2) Larger China questions-pre and post-virus-of a) whether outsourcing manufacturing jobs was good idea b) whether we should stick with bet that trade will democratize them and c) their trade practices = 1st order issue–and Trump's been way tougher on China than Biden would be. https://t.co/gPfbPW5Zp8

Two different "China" Issues: 1) Whether we got CDC docs into China and we held them "accountable" (focus of Blinken video) seems 2d order–Trump had plenty to go on whether CDC docs were in China or not. He failed to act soon enough. 1/2 https://t.co/Z4HkT04Lna

Weird for @yaf to post this*now.* Reeks of donor service. But a USEFUL REMINDER of why Rubio and his fans are still a Gang-of-8ers (no matter how much they try to hide it).
Also, Rubio doesn't vet. https://t.co/Z3x9e7385g

II once saw Bruce Springsteen *open* for Dr. John. Poor Dr. John. The Biden/Michelle ticket reminds me of that. Still, not a crazy idea (until you get to the part where Biden steps down on Jan 21–don't think he ran to be the Obamas' #2 again). https://t.co/kE7yrDik3B
