A warning worth hearing before Independence Day

Retired Federal Judge J. Michael Luttig came into widespread national awareness in December 2020 when he was credited with convincingly informing then Vice President Mike Pence that there was nothing in the U.S. Constitution that could possibly allow him to unilaterally stop the count, interfere with, or otherwise cause the electoral vote count authorization not to take place.

Thus began Donald Trump's efforts toward the Jan. 6 insurrection, the lies of a rigged election, the unending efforts to dominate the headlines, control the Republican Party, win the presidency in 2024, and destroy our democratic republic making himself king, dictator, and the immortal giant of humanity that he always believed himself to be.

Judge Luttig never went away. He recently spearheaded a group of 200 to 300 retired federal judges to file an amicus (friend of the court) brief that seems to have permanently sidelined the $1.8 billion slush fund.

It is clear Judge Luttig and his compatriots are not finished. Even the Supreme Court is listening.

Judge Luttig has recently appeared on Legal AF with a Warning for Trump ahead of 4th of July. Easy to find on YouTube, or MTN. Should be a required read before the holiday.
