09:55 At the Lagos State #EndSARS Judicial Panel of Enquiry.

The #EndSARS conversation is back on #1 trend, following the police court case to invalidate state panels. https://t.co/SANuz62YMR

10:05 Of course you all want to know about “mischievous element” sturves.

Well, first of all, “Turn off your phones” signs are gone, replaced by friendlier ones.

“No phones beyond this point” sign also gone. I even got a special seat reserved, so I can be mischievous in peace.
10:24 I saw Mr. O in the hall, but he was dressed differently. I wondered why. His posse didn’t look like they’re here for the panel either.

I just learned he’s planning a protest today, bringing victims of #EndSARS along.

Ghen ghen!
10:30 NEPAAAAA!!!!

Looks like a pre-emptive strike today, so we don’t get too comfortable.
10:51 This is all of us waiting for the bag to come out
11:02 Ghen ghen. Mr. O has indeed brought a bus with young people injured during the #LekkiMassacre

Be plans to show the shooting was real and the victims are not ghosts.

More from Law

Hot take: Courts might be able to review the legality of this impeachment, even under current political-question doctrine. Here’s why and how the issue might arise:


Suppose Senate convicts and disqualifies Trump from ever holding federal office. Trump files paperwork to run anyway, but state officials deny his application, citing his Senate impeachment judgment. Trump sues, arguing that the judgment is void.

Normally a legal dispute about a prospective candidates eligibility to run would certainly present a justiciable case or controversy. But are courts bound to accept the Senate impeachment judgment as valid? Maybe not. Here’s why:

According to Article I, “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.” This is a small amount of judicial power vested in Congress. When trying impeachments, the Senate sits as a court.

The Senate’s judicial power includes the power to decide relevant legal questions that arise, such as what procedures are sufficient to constitute a “trial” w/in the Constitution’s meaning. Such legal determinations are conclusive, as SCOTUS held in Nixon v. United States (1993).
