As we know, many Republicans have had to throw issues and policies aside to take a stand against the orange populist demagogue who has taken control of a once-great party. Of course, they've all been attacked and vilified as RINOs and commies and Marxists and any number of other ignorant labels.
Conservative Judge J Michael Luttig has recently (and no doubt painfully) endorsed Kamala Harris with a five-page letter, below.
The Founders knew what could happen, they feared it, and they all but predicted it. Jefferson's prediction, in the second paragraph, is simply chilling:
The Luttig interview on this topic here:
His letter of endorsement here:
Judge J. Michael Luttig is a former United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. While he has had a distinguished career, there have been some criticisms of his judicial decisions and actions. Here are a few examples:
1. Criticisms of his judicial philosophy: Some have criticized Luttig's judicial philosophy as being overly conservative and activist. For example, in a 2005 article, the New York Times described Luttig as a "conservative judicial activist" who had "taken an aggressive approach to interpreting the Constitution." [1]
2. Criticisms of his handling of the Terri Schiavo case: In 2005, Luttig was part of a three-judge panel that denied a request by Terri Schiavo's parents to have her feeding tube reinserted. The decision was widely criticized by conservatives, who felt that Luttig and the other judges had overstepped their authority. [2]
3. Criticisms of his role in the Boeing merger case: In 1997, Luttig was part of a three-judge panel that approved the merger between Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. The decision was criticized by some as being overly favorable to Boeing, and Luttig's involvement in the case was questioned due to his close ties to the company. [3]
4. Criticisms of his views on executive power: Luttig has been criticized for his views on executive power, which some have characterized as overly broad. For example, in a 2006 article, the Washington Post described Luttig's views on executive power as "expansive" and "troubling." [4]
