I'm not surprised that the Dems' "don't follow illegal orders" argument polls pretty well. But what's is most notable about these responses is how many people are undecided. Huge opportunity for anyone who supports the rule of law to explain to the public why this is so vitally important

MTG—for all of her glaring faults—was vital to achieving a dramatic legislative success in which Congress actually did its job and held Trump accountable. It's depressing that she found this success so disillusioning that she immediately announced her resignation.
Marjorie Taylor Greene no longer trusts the plan
After feuding with Trump, the congresswoman resigns and casts doubt on the QAnon conspiracy theory she once promoted on her way out the door.

It's gotten a bit drowned out, but my God the Jasmine Crockett wrong-Epstein thing was appalling. How is this an acceptable explanation from a likely Senate candidate?

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.

Leaving aside Trump's absurd hypocrisy when it comes to the alleged dangers of violent rhetoric, there is every reason to believe that DOJ will read his posts and immediately open bogus "investigations" into these members of Congress. They keep doing exactly that, quite publicly.

There has been some criticism from the right that the lawmakers in this video don't explain what hypothetical orders they believe would be unlawful. I would suggest that, hypothetically, "HANG THEM" might be one such unlawful order.

There has been so much hand-wringing about whether Justice Jackson's dissents are too mean, and, well, I think we can move on from that now!
The “pernicious judicial misbehavior” of the judge who wrote the majority opinion was that he wasn’t able to give the dissenting judge a final copy of that opinion far enough in advance to allow for simultaneous publication
