Retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig issued a searing rebuke of the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision that Colorado could not disqualify former President Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment’s insurrection ban, preserving his ability to seek a second term.

In a piece published in The Atlantic on Thursday, Luttig, a longtime conservative jurist on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said all nine justices “dangerously betrayed” democracy in making their decision.

Luttig, who had been vocal in support of the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar Trump from the ballot, described Section 3 of the 14th Amendment as the Constitution’s “safety net for America’s democracy, promising to automatically disqualify from public office all oath-breaking insurrectionists against the Constitution, deeming them too dangerous to entrust with power unless supermajorities of both houses of Congress formally remove their disability.”

Comment:
Is judge Luttig delusional?
What insurrection?
When was Trump charged with and convicted of insurrection?
How is the corrupt Democrat Party attempting to illegally remove Trump from the ballot using bogus charges 'saving democracy'?
It is the opposite.
Using bogus charges to remove Trump from the ballot is raping 'democracy.'
Only congress can use the 14th Amendment to remove a president from office, not the States.

Who gives a shit what some retired judge has to say?

It's about like those retired former .gov/.mil (whatevers) that sign all those "I'm concerned" letters.

Nary a one did anything to make a difference when they were working for the .gov with those sweet pensions at stake..

So a lib judge got his opinion printed in a lib magazine. Shocked, I tell you.

Do we need any more evidence that Luttig has gone round the bend?

OP tried to blame all of this on the Democrats.

You all need to change your arguments to "he isn't a Trump Sycophant".

He's a fucking crackpot, party affiliation notwithstanding.....Hence a partisan hack source citing him, in a vain attempt to show that they're all nonpartisan and shit.

So are members of the Lincoln project “allegedly”

I saw nothing that would lead one to believe he was trying to argue he was non partisan.

This brings the number of legal "scholars" who agree with the nutjobs in Colorado up to 1.

Aaaaaaaaaaand, he's RETIRED.
His opinion means diddly squat.
Means NOTHING other than an indication of his TERMINAL TDS

 

[Rogue AI]

9-0 decision, which is rare enough, yet we should believe some retired guy? Wow. Maybe an ambiguous 5-4 would have left some questions, but if even the rabid liberal hack justices couldn't find fault it only diminishes this clown's opinion.
