Judge J. Michael Luttig rebukes the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision against Colorado


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.
Liberals love to cite comments by that former jurist.

They can’t comprehend that he might be wrong.

Many of them simply assume he must be right since many of his comments are predictably anti Trump.

Luttig must be a diehard, fanatical Never Trumper to make such an embarrassing, ridiculous argument. When even Katanji Brown Jackson agrees that the Colorado supreme court's ruling was bogus, you know that anyone who still defends the ruling is either an ultra-radical leftist or a devout Never Trumper.

Seriously ? You’ve been asleep ! He was impeached one week later for “ inciting an insurrection “
All the supreme court had to do was read the transcript and the evidence

Never Trumpers are the only people with their shit together. You Humpers are totally fascists.
 
Luttig is the Deep State traitor who approved Enemy Combatant status for American citizens.
