In a stunning turn of events, conservative stalwart and former federal appellate judge, J. Michael Luttig, has come out swinging against former President Donald Trump. In a recent court filing, Luttig is urging the Supreme Court to bar Trump from appearing on the 2024 election ballot. And let me tell you, folks, the accusations he’s making are mind-boggling!
According to Luttig, Trump’s effort to retain power after losing the 2020 election is not just your garden-variety political dispute. Oh no, it’s apparently on par with South Carolina’s secession, which, as we all know, triggered the Civil War. That’s right, folks, Luttig is straight-up claiming that Trump engaged in a more extensive insurrection than one that led to a bloody war. Talk about hyperbole!
Now, let’s break this down. Luttig argues that Trump’s actions amounted to an armed insurrection against the Constitution itself, specifically targeting the peaceful transfer of power. Can you believe that? According to Luttig, this disqualifies Trump under Section 3 of the Constitution. I mean, come on! Trump may have been vocal about his disagreement with the election results, but an armed insurrection? That’s quite a stretch, Judge.
But Luttig doesn’t stop there. He insists that Trump tried to prevent President Biden from governing anywhere in the United States. Hold on just a minute, Luttig. Last time we checked, Biden was sitting in that fancy Oval Office, signing executive orders left and right. If that’s what you call preventing someone from governing, then I’d hate to see what you think of actual dictators!
Now, let’s get to the Supreme Court case that’s at the center of all this drama. The Colorado Supreme Court decided to remove Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot, citing the 14th Amendment’s prohibition on insurrectionists holding office. And guess what? The Supreme Court is actually going to review that decision. Seems like the liberals just can’t let go, can they?
But here’s the kicker, folks. Luttig and his gang of lawyers, including that turncoat George Conway, want the court to adopt a “textualist approach.” Translation: they want the court to focus on the specific language of the Constitution. Well, well, well, isn’t that convenient? They’re cherry-picking their arguments to fit their narrative. Typical liberal move, if you ask me.
And if you thought that was all, think again. Luttig and his buddies claim that Trump’s argument, that the enforcement of the insurrectionist ban should be left to Congress after a candidate is elected, would hinder voters and create chaos. Give me a break! We all know the courts should have the final say in these matters. Let’s not let a little thing called democracy get in the way, right?
In the end, these arguments from Luttig and his cronies are simply an attempt to vilify Trump and undermine the will of the American people. They’re trying to paint his actions as a threat to our constitutional order, when in reality, it’s just sour grapes from sore losers. Don’t be fooled, folks. This is nothing more than a political witch hunt dressed up as legal proceedings. It’s time to move on and let the man run if he so chooses.
