How the times change. (Or perhaps serving as Boeing's general counsel for 13 years changed some other things...)
Colorado ping.
rino crank says what ?

these people are trying to start civil war.
commies and rinos
Pinging AC because you might be in a position to remember how Luttig was lauded on FR back in the early 2000s.
Pinging woodpusher to show another example of a judge who (”conservative” bonafides notwithstanding) doesn’t know how Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is applied.
This is why the Dems and media called the riot an insurection.
Well, he’s certainly entitled to his opinion......no matter how asinine
We now see how the Gangster State keeps itself in power contra the wishes of The People
A Bushie is coming after Trump with his hatchet. Basic constitutional law is that a judge can’t just declare that person committed the crime of insurrection based upon so much hearsay from a sham Congressional committee. Insurrection is a serious charge that requires evidence which is admissible in a court of law, and the right to confront and cross exam witnesses. None of that has happened so far.
Trump’s exceptional talent is the ability to trigger Regime RINOs and get them to out themselves.
Kangaroo judges believes “Guilt By Accusation”.
When was Trump convicted of said accusation?
Or does this judge not understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty?
Perhaps he doesn’t understand what Brady materials are either?
Trump has not had a trial, nor access to Brady materials. That’s not justice, that’s something else. Something that any Judge, former Judge, or Lawyer thinks is acceptable should immediately and universally deprive them of a legal license in all states.
Exclusive: Read Judge Luttig’s statement to January 6 committee
CNN has obtained a statement from retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig, a Republican who is testifying at Thursday’s January 6 committee hearing. Luttig will provide a sharp condemnation of former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, saying Trump and his allies “instigated” a war on democracy “so that he could cling to power.”
The war on democracy instigated by the former president and his political party allies on January 6 was the natural and foreseeable culmination of the war for America. It was the final fateful day for the execution of a well-developed plan by the former president to overturn the 2020 presidential election at any cost, so that he could cling to power that the American People had decided to confer upon his successor, the next president of the United States instead. Knowing full well that he had lost the 2020 presidential election, the former president and his allies and supporters falsely claimed and proclaimed to the nation that he had won the election, and then he and they set about to overturn the election that he and they knew the former president had lost.
In retrospect, did GW Bush do ANYTHING right? (Pun intended)
And if those charges aren’t made? Oh, just in case. I see. 🖕
MSNBC interview. Whatsamatta, Judge, got some gambling debts to cover?
Luttig is obviously either a never-Trump hater or senile. Excluding Trump by the 14th amendment would at minimum require a conviction for insurrection, and he hasn’t been convicted of anything.
I guess this dumb ass judge doesn’t know that the President is specifically not mentioned in that section of the Constitution while others are. Second, again for a supposed judge, he doesn’t understand that Trump is not and never has been charged with insurrection let alone convicted of it. But, guess one can expect that kind of non reasoning from a Bush appointed judge.
IFF (if and ONLY if) a candidate is CONVICTED of insurrection in a court of law, the ruling might be correct, pending determination of whether the Presidency is an elected office “under the United States”, DESPITE the fact that the enumerated list presented omits both POTUS and VPOTUS.
The text, to me, is clear - President and VP are NOT included. But, I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV.
“ because he is an insurrectionist ”
When was that determined? I mean officially in the courts.
Oh, it hasn’t?
I would respectfully tell hizzoner to pound sand.
He is gaslighting the liberal mantra: “...the clear language...”
Another senile fool who forgot about Section 1, the “due process” clause. Just shows that judges are nothing special.
