Readers love it when the NYT congratulates itself on the number of Pulitzer reporters on a story. (Also if you call it a "deep dive"). https://t.co/lhCaiyn7Ub

At some point this might become a First Amendment/ Equal Protection issue, no? Eg what if De Blasio decided anti-police demos were OK but pro-police demos weren't? Not saying we're there yet. https://t.co/cmj7RMOA2G

I was waiting for someone to make *this* argument too. I assume Trump already thinks it. https://t.co/b2J8QBDrjO

I thought the Rose Garden speech was fine — about the best we're going to get from Trump — though he was asking to be judged on results, not words. https://t.co/znk6silACn

UPDATE: The answer seems to be that the state assent requirement is in Article IV but the Insurrection Act is based on Article I. (I claim I was led astray by https://t.co/0QGlQbdY0Q) https://t.co/w2hfXnQKEf

Is Jared one of those people who is *so* vindictive that you might as well say what you think and let him have it–there's no benefit to pulling your punches because even a 40% criticism means you're dead? https://t.co/3bEHRBOXKO

So Trump DIDN'T invoke the Insurrection Act. Why wasn't what he did a reasonable middle-ground measure: Tell governors to get the job done-but say that if they don't he WILL exercise his powers? If you're worried about "fascist takeover" isn't that better? https://t.co/qXnOtrV0zU

I guess Epps thought I couldn't be arguing against the idea that POTUS doesn't have the power — an idea so crazy that only @jeffreytoobin promotes it, apparently, But I was. Whether Trump *should* exercise that power is a different issue–not what I was talking about.

.@Profepps and @AnnCoulter and @Steve_Vladeck all agree, the president DOES have the power to order guard troops to quash unrest even if state's governor won't request it https://t.co/zjlFMVTUGK I agree too. So I don't quite see what the fuss was all about. https://t.co/r2xNEwrSd7

I think the problem is I was arguing against those (not Epps, I guess) who think Trump doesn't have the power. He felt I was arguing that Trump *should* send the troops all over. Beats me. https://t.co/OjGP7e4cnW

My old friend @Profepps blocked me for this exchange, which I don't quite understand since he seems to think the Insurrection Act does give Trump the power to act unilaterally https://t.co/nv5bCzquTz 1/ https://t.co/nqNuay56RP

Useful thread. Still don't understand why the *Constitution's* seeming requirement for state assent doesn't apply. https://t.co/UqMesBYo7d

The scary possibility (suggested by several twees) seems this: 1) Looters aren't just antifa. Larger, broader cross-section 2) They have advantage now with smart phones, Web, etc. 3) There aren't enough police to contain this. They win. Inflection point. We're in V/WestWorld

Main point is that if (and it seems a possibility) the Constitution & the "principles of federalism" prevent the president from overriding governors when there's widespread domestic violence, then the Constitution & principles of federalism are crazy. https://t.co/5Tkg6vEjq6

10 minutes ago got loud buzzing alert from County of L.A. saying that their curfew is at 6 PM. Followed 3 minutes later by another loud buzzing alert that "Curfew now 5 PM." So things must be going well!
