"As the former federal judge J. Michael #Luttig, a well-known #conservative jurist, said recently, #Trump has “launched a full-frontal assault on the #Constitution, the rule of #law, our system of #justice, and the entire legal profession.”

J MICHAEL LUTTIG: There are legions of lawyers and others who are preparing to challenge this election if, in their view, they need to.

@New_Narrative Retired #judge #MichaelLuttig is battling to stop a #Trump #victory which he says would be ‘catastrophic for America’s #democracy’ A presidency guided by such #authoritarian impulses would be “ruinous” for democracy and the rule of law, #Luttig predicts. “He did what he did on #January6. He’s continued to maintain for three years that the #election was stolen from him. He’s done that with now complete and total support of the #Republicanparty #GOP #insurrection #chaos #Congress

former federal judge #Luttig and top legal scholar #Tribe
make the case that the Constitution disqualifies #Trump from holding public office again.
Section 3 of the #14 #Amendment the “#disqualification clause”
… Nobody has a right to be president without meeting the qualifications.Trump 'case' will almost certainly go to the Supreme Court
#Republicans invested heavily in the #SCOTUS politicization and control
to favor Trump SCOTUS will have to deliberate against
the Constitution
will they ? -

#Luttig advised #Pence about his authority to prevent certification of the electoral college vote. Seems like that would make him a witness & we've not seen any litigation over privilege issues, so, very likely he's spoken with prosecutors. That makes this an interesting take. #legal
Katherine Faulders:
In NYT op-ed, former Judge Michael Luttig believes a #Trump #Jan6 indictment is "almost certain" and slams what he says is the GOP's "spineless support" of Trump
