The count is now over 500 law professors to 1 in favor of impeachment. There was an open letter cosigned by that many profs which argued that Trump engaged in impeachable offences. Take that Turley. [Axios]

Trump has been giving the game away over cell phone calls. In other words any country with a halfway decent surveillance operation knows more about Trump's phone calls than the House of Representatives or us. [Independent]
Meanwhile Giuliani is in Ukraine to try to cover tracks but is so out of touch that he gave the whole game away. It was always all about the Bidens. [Vox]
After making such a fuss about not being invited, Trump is now upset that he's been invited and won't come to Capitol Hill and he won't send his lawyers anywhere except across the street to the Supreme court where Justice Notorious RBG, not "I like beer!" Kavanaugh, was responsible for the latest stay on Trump's financials. [NBC] [Politico]
NO EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE! NO EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE! THE LAWMAKER'S THE EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE! The simple explanation of why the emoluments clause has not come up in Congress is because too many in Congress are complicit. [Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington]

Pompeo spent some time checking the safety features of his golden parachute while he was in London. He's likely to be caught in the Impeachment and the Senate has little reason to care if he falls and comes back as a Senator from Kansas. [CNN]
The House restored the Voting Rights Act with the help of only one Republican Representative. Let's hope Hockey Mike keeps threatening to run against him to keep him in line. And let's hope the Senate doesn't follow the same partisan pattern [PBS]
The Senate has been busy packing the courts, not so much the bipartisan bills. [The Hill]
The Senate did let one good one slip through and assured funding for historically black colleges. [AP]

Convicted felon Duncan Hines Hunter was "urged" by the Ethics Committee to not vote in the House of Representatives. He has not been stopped. He has not stepped down. The rules are different for Republicans. [CNN]
There's a plague in Samoa. A significant part of their population is dead from measles. There's an anti-vaxxer in jail. I won't argue. This man is inciting against the government's effort to save the lives of people on an island in a plague. This isn't just a problem in Samoa. There's no logical reason why measles has not been wiped out. There is one clear reason why it has not: anti-vaxxers. A percentage of the deaths are adults who could be thought of as asking for it. I survived the height of the AIDS crisis and I don't put up with that bullshit either. Just know that a bigger percentage of those deaths are children who have no choice in the matter. And it's not just Samoa. It's around the world. [CNN] [NBC]
Trump has now sent three US Senators to kill a bill that admits a genocide was a genocide. Angela Merkel went to Auschwitz in humility. "I bow my head before the victims of the Shoah." I'd tell Trump to take a lesson. He does not take lessons. [BBC]
