Judge Luttig is not a partisan figure from the margins of American politics. He is one of the most respected conservative jurists of his generation. Appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in 1991 and long regarded as a leading legal thinker within the conservative legal movement, he built his reputation on fidelity to the Constitution, the rule of law, and institutional restraint. His credentials are, by any fair measure, deeply and unmistakably conservative.The Arizona Eagletarian (me) encourages you, the reader, to listen to Judge Luttig's remarks (warning) from the 31 minute mark of the video, until the end. If you wish to listen to the rest, you may do so on YouTube.
Judge J Michael Luttig is an American lawyer and jurist who served as a U.S. circuit judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from 1991 to 2006.
An influential conservative legal figure, Luttig gained broader prominence after the presidency of Donald Trump, characterizing him as "a clear and present danger to American democracy," and advocated invoking the Fourteenth Amendment to render Trump ineligible to serve a second term as president.
These comments (by Luttig) are very recent, urgent and critically important.
