(THREAD) @DrJohnEastman has written a piece on candidate eligibility for office that& #39;s risible quackery. A court has "complete" jurisdiction if it has personal and subject-matter jurisdiction. "Partial" jurisdiction is when a court *shares* jurisdiction. Eastman& #39;s lie is racist.

1/ I won& #39;t link to Eastman& #39;s garbage here, but will summarize it—as you may encounter it. Eastman says anyone born in the U.S. at a time they/their parents might later leave it is not under the "complete" jurisdiction of U.S. courts for candidate eligibility purposes. It& #39;s a lie.

2/ Again—"complete" jurisdiction exists whenever a court has "personal" jurisdiction (the person in question is physically in the jurisdiction) and "subject-matter" jurisdiction (meaning the legal matter at issue is meant to be heard by that particular court in the jurisdiction).

3/ The term "partial" jurisdiction refers to a *different scenario* from Eastman& #39;s racist coinage. "Partial" jurisdiction simply means there& #39;s a matter at issue that *either* of two courts could hear. It does *not* mean what Eastman claims—in a novel, racist reading—that it does.

4/ So here& #39;s what the GOP did in *under 24 hours*:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2"> Floated the possibility Biden could die pre-election.

I am so effing angry right now. These cretins don& #39;t even deserve to call themselves Americans—they& #39;re without honor.

5/ There is, to be *very* clear, *no* legitimate concern about Biden& #39;s health and *no* legitimate concern about Harris& #39; eligibility for office. But I& #39;ll tell you what: you will find the lies being spread by @DrJohnEastman and @JudgeJeanine on *Kremlin-owned TV* very, *very* soon.
