For those who doubted for a moment... Laurence Tribe on TFG's suit to restore Twitter "rights"

Just to put this to rest...

Laurence Tribe
@tribelaw
Trump’s lawsuit to force Twitter to let him back on its platform is garbage. Pure BS. A pile of crap. Frivolous. An abuse of the judicial system. Zero merit. Got it?

is no Constitutional guarantee that compels Twitter or anyone to provide a platform to anyone including politicians.
In the world we live though which has a number of twisted Republican contortionist on the bench as judges? Your guess is as good as mine.

They can never accept the results of their actions.
How dare they be held responsible for what the do.

Twitter could decide to re-instate him, for whatever reason they wanted.

It is a dangerous request.
