17. What Donald Trump wanted Mike Pence to do on January 6, was seditious in nature, it aimed to upend Democracy through the use of force, fraud, and intimidation. His 2nd term, is an unapologetic continuation of these aims and he uses the power of his office toward these aims, and other aims which have little at all to do with public service and are more like support of his (and allies) efforts towards revenge, self-enrichment, political gain, or illegal acts covering up his culpability for other illegal/unconstitutional and/or seditious acts including J6. Put simply, because of Trump’s misuse of power and his pervasive fraud, and support of it, the entire administration is crooked from head-to-toe and certainly none of those things is part of fulfilling his duties as president or a lawful use of his office. It calls the legitimacy of the entire apparatus of government into question for any rational observer. Every assertion of fact from this administration, every characterization, comes with a wink and a healthy dose of objection or public abuse if they are not believed which defies all credulity. It is a shock to the conscience and a daily avalanche of defamation of the American People who get in his way, observed daily/hourly which cannot be escaped, contested, or muted in any meaningful way which has a meaningful and ongoing chilling effect on constitutional principles and citizens willing to speak out against violations of law.
Ok so we know everything Trump is doing is unconstitutional and illegal so what do we do with a Supreme Court that’s rewriting President authority and immunity?
Great interview with a smart, honorable judge who is a bit of a folk hero among those who follow all the legal machinations of this corrupt regime IMO. His Atlantic article was a powerful and necessary piece.
Ryan, thank you for bringing us another fascinating conversation with Judge Luttig, a great American hero who gives me faith and hope that we will get these dark times and preserve our constitution in the end.
Republicans have been destroying education in their states for decades. They’ve just decided it’s time to go national.
I’ll love to hear a discussion with judge ludig on unitary executive theory. I’ve only heard it pushed by political animals so it always felt like a way to abuse power. Having a rational actor expand on what it is and why he supports it would be very interesting.
Love Judge Luttig! He's so smart!
