We don't get to see great men often in our lifetimes. This man is definitely one of them.
Agreed
YES. Yes he is.
It's both amazing and touching/funny to think of an old guy laboriously following instructions to figure out how to tweet, then using his unparalleled knowledge and experience to formulate some crucial information, and helping (along with Pence's son) to change the course of history in a fundamental way.
Absolutely 👍💙
How do we make more people like this?
Such respect for this intelligent, honorable and decent man, Judge Luttig.
He is the kind of man that SHOULD be seated on the Supreme Court bench.
Once Trump and the maga cult are gone, we will have these type of women and men in our courts.
@@45HatesOurVets From your lips to God's ears!!!! VOTE BLUE up and down the ballot because Harris must have a Damocrate Congress to change the today's situation!
A true patriot and American hero. Him and his wife.
It's shocking they can't travel together. Can you imagine the United States of America today almost 25 years into the 21st Century having to have SECURITY? FFS! What is wrong with maga republicans? 🇺🇸
Let’s not forget he also contributed to this mess, Federalist Society, arch conservative etc.
At least he realizes the wrong and has the integrity to push back
Judge Luttig saved our American Democracy. We are eternally grateful.
He DID save our democracy!!
Praise be to God!
Democracy is in peril, struggling to defend itself in the new age of social networks. Hardcore Christian nationalism is surging worldwide. Nationalist parties that reject identity freedoms and cosmopolitan values have shifted from the fringes to the mainstream. Religious nationalism shapes obligations among people based on race, ethnicity, and religion, inevitably excluding those labeled as the “other.” Our democracy now stands at a critical juncture: the rule of civil law versus the dominance of hardcore religious beliefs. We are in a race-democracy versus totalitarianism. Donald Trump is merely a puppet in the hands of Project 2025 architects; as long as they continue to feed his manic ego, he remains fully maneuverable. The sooner democracy gets itself together and adapts to the new paradigm, the better.
And the rest is now up to US!
So far, he's saved us. MAGA is still a danger to freedom. We need more judges to back him up.
@@KenBarrChannel truth!
Judge Luttig, you😮 are my hero. You have given many of us more than just a voice of reason... Thankyou for your service to America! Thankyou to you and your wife for your patriotism and care!
Judge Luttig, you got one thing wrong, one other official have just done the right thing for his Country, Joe Biden....definitely putted his country before himself ❤❤❤
So did Mike Pence....
Thank you Judge ❤❤❤❤ and your Wife 😊😊
I love Judge Luttig, he could be enjoying retirement, but here he is working hard for us. If you look up integrity, judge’s picture is there
Thank you Mrs. Luttig for your encouragement for democracy!
Yes Mrs Luttig deserves praise and appreciation for her patriotism.
This is what an HONORABLE man looks like as he puts COUNTY before POLITICS. Thank you Judge Luttig❤
I love him 💜
So agree!!!!
COUNTRY*
@@CyndiConnard That too
Somehow country before politics always means siding with the left.
Judge Luttig, thank you and your wife for saving our country! You are a hero! 😊
And the man who called him, and his son, and the pinter, and Pence!
@@lelathomas550it’s been hard for me to give Pence much credit since he only did what was right when his son told him to. He was originally wanting to help Trump
@@MaileAnthopoulosI agree...but in the end, he did the right thing. For that, I have respect.
did they save our country? wow
God made the woman as a ‘help meet’. This might be what God meant by that
It's a breath of fresh air to hear this conservative Judge Luttig uphold the constitution and rule of law, which seems to have been forgotten by Trump's Republican Party and even the Supreme Court in some cases. Thank you for this conversation!
Biden should declare the Justices in the corrupt antidemocratic majority in SCOTUS oath-violating aiders and comforters of insurrectionists and remove those Justices, citing Amendment 14 Section 3.
He’s wonderful. Conservatives and Republicans do exist. Others are fringe political actors and or worse.
It's always a privilege to hear the insightful wisdom of Kettering Senior Fellow, J. Michael Luttig.
May God bless you Judge,thanks a million
THANK YOU Honourable J. Michael Luttig for your engagement in saving the United States from itself. THANK YOU for your deeply devoted efforts in guiding the Unites States through this horrendous period in the us history. THANK YOU for speaking up and communicating clearly about the fundamental issues facing this great nation and being deeply involved in solving the issues.
Hear hear!!
Thank you a million times Honorable Judge Luttig & Wife for speaking the TRUTH. It takes a lot from oneself to understand and stand in your own truths to say it out loud.
You are in every sense of the word a true PATRIOT.
Many Blessings to the both of you. 🙏
You aren’t retired, you’re still fighting for justice in America, your actions, dedication, focus on mission, all around person and being are a credit to yourself, America, the rule of law, the American People, and the Constitution of the United States.
We are all eternally grateful for your life, leadership and service. God bless you and your family, I’m sure you were on loan to us, and I hope you have enjoyed spending more of your time with them.
I am big time lefty but have come to greatly admire Judge J. Michael Luttig. I am inspired by people with astounding positive character traits.
I, as well, a registered Democrat and full-fledged liberal, greatly admire this learned man's integrity. Shortly after his appearance on the world stage (J6 hearings), when asked to opine on our Supreme Court's decisions, he was understandably reticent to do so, out of his respect for the court itself and the justices. I appreciated his respect for the institution; he wouldn't be casting aspersions on them (at least publicly). Fast-forward to today -- he's not holding back AT ALL. He's very clear about the unrecognizable Republican party and their standard-bearer. The gravity of the corruption of the Grand Old Party and willful destruction of our democracy is hardly noticed by millions of Americans, yet we can see it is breaking his heart. Yes, his life-long Republican heart. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Weston. (Also, kudos to Liz Cheney on her refusal to stay silent as well!)
Democrats supporting democracy are exactly what we need!
@@ImListeningToReason May I add...we need all the American people to support democracy instead of supporting political parties. And we need judges of integrity and truth such as this man.
Thank you Judge Luttig for all you have done.
Thank You Sir for Your Courage!!!
🌴THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought the second and last incarnation of His new and holy name"
(You used to want to rule as kings, and now you have to turn away. Can He lead people down to the eternal abyss? Now, the important thing is that you have to know the spirit of man, and you have to know if what you must enter into; you must talk about entering into life, and how to be truly overcome, and how to obey God completely, how to obey unto death. You may say that you are overcome, but obey In the end, you must have the two aspects of Job's testimony--the testimony of Peter--the ultimate love of God. You must be like Job of his possessions, and was tormented by the sickness of the body, but he did not forsake the name of Jehovah. This is the testimony of Job. When he was crucified and faced his death, he was loved He is still God; he did not think of his own hopes or desire good hopes or luxurious thoughts and he only sought to love God and follow all God's plans: That is the basis you must have before you can be considered a witness, before you can be a man who became perfect after being defeated. God's work today is for our disposition to change and for us to rid ourselves of Satan's influence, to allow us to be born in the land of impurity and thus to rid ourselves of the impurity, to shake off Satan's filth and infection, to turn away this.)
Almighty God said
You once aspired to rule as kings, and now you must turn away can He lead men down to the eternal abyss? NOW, the IMPORTANT thing is that you MUST KNOW THE SPIRIT OF MAN, and you MUST KNOW WHAT you must ENTER; you need to talk about ENTERING LIFE, and CHANGING DISPOSITION, HOW TO REALLY CONQUER, and HOW TO COMPLETELY FOLLOW GOD, HOW TO FOLLOW UNTIL DEATH. 🏵️
You need to focus on these things, and those that are not realistic or important must first be set aside and let go. Now, you must know how to be defeated, and how people act after they are defeated.. ☀️
You can say you're overpowered, but can you FOLLOW UNTIL death? You MUST FOLLOW UNTIL THE LAST if there is any HOPE, and you SHOULD NOT LOSE FAITH in GOD regardless of the situation. Ultimately, you MUST GET TWO ASPECTS of TESTIMONY: JOB'S TESTIMONY---OBEDIENCE UNTIL DEATH; and PETER'S TESTIMONY---the ULTIMATE LOVE of GOD. You have to be LIKE JOB: He lost all his possessions, and was tormented by physical pain, but he DID NOT FORSAKE JEHOVAH'S NAME. This is the TESTIMONY of JOB. PEDRO was able to LOVE GOD to DEATH.🙏🌹
When he was CRUCIFIED and FACED his DEATH, he still LOVED GOD; He DOESN'T THINK OF HIS OWN WISHES or DESIRES GOOD HOPE or GREAT ATTITUDE and he ONLY WANTS to LOVE GOD and FOLLOW ALL THE PLANSof GOD: THAT IS THE BASIS YOU NEED TO GET BEFORE YOU CAN BE CONSIDERED WITNESSING, BEFORE YOU BECOME A PERFECT PERSON AFTER CONQUERING.🌷🙏🌹
Now, if people really know their own Spirit and status, will they still want hopes and hopes? This is what you should know: GOD'S WORK NOW is SO THAT OUR DISPOSITION WILL CHANGE and we CAN REMOVE SATAN'S INFLUENCE FROM OURSELVES, to allow us to be born in the land of impurity and thus remove the impurity from ourselves, to DESTROY THE DIRT and SATAN'S INFLUENCE, to AVOID it. 🙏
From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh" Holy book Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Rev. 19:9,13)
📥 Christ's fulfillment of His establishment of the kingdom that was brought down from heaven that carved the holy, and totality and disposition of His name "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐. The prophecy He fulfilled "And I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and even the power of death will not prevail against it." (Mat. 16:18). ... And the Epistle to the church of Philadelphia "I will make him who overcomes a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never be removed from it. I will engrave on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God , the NEW JERUSALEM that will come down from heaven. I will also engrave on him my NEW NAME. ... And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this : From now on, blessed are those who serve the Lord until death!" "Truly," said the Spirit. "They will rest from their labor; for their works will follow them." (Rev. 14:13). ... "And I was told the number of those who were sealed--144,000 from the twelve tribes of Israel." They SAY TOGETHER, "SALVATION is from the LAMB, and to our God who is ON THE THRONE!" One of the elders asked me, "Who are the people dressed in white, and where did they come from?" "I don't know," I replied. "You know. ." And he said to me, "They are the ones who prevailed despite severe persecution. They cleansed and made their clothes white in the blood of the Lamb. Because the Lamb in the middle of the throne will be their PASTOR. He will bring them to the fountains of life-giving water; and God will wipe the tears from their eyes." They triumphed over the Devil through the blood of the Lamb and their testimony to the truth; they did not regret their lives. (Rev 7:4,10,13-14,17 ).... They sing a new song before the Throne, and the four living creatures, and the twenty-four elders. No one understands that song but the 144,000 redeemed in the world. This men who had no relation to women. They followed the Lamb wherever he went. They were redeemed from all mankind. They never lied them any fault (Rev. 14:3-5).
All are leading here! It stands in the holy place in the sky /RUclips🔝
He deserves a standing ovation! Thank you Honorabke Judge Luttig! ❤
He makes my heart three times bigger. He’s full of love for America and it extends to each of us.

Phenomenal !!! There are no words that could even begin to express the gratitude this country owes to both the Honorable Judge Luttig and his wife. This forum can not be absorbed in one hearing, and probably not even in a second hearing... But, I am grateful to have heard this and I will encourage everyone I know to listen to it at least once... Thank you to everyone who made this possible to be available...
We really care what you say Judge! thank you, standing with you for democracy.
I listen to anything with his voice in it. We need more Constitutional scholars explaining this to the people .... and we ALL need to vote in numbers too large to manipulate.
Thank you Judge Luttig, and thank you Elizabeth !! What a wonderful human 💙
Makes me proud to be an American and yes i am crying.....Luttig a real conservative is my hero an 80 year old Democrat since I was 18. Judge Luttig is a national treasure....yes. I am still crying. 😊🤔😩⚖️⚖️⚖️👀
I never had a chance to fully understand who Judge Luttig was until viewing this presentation. His humbleness, graciousness, goodness, generosity, integrity and valor was equally front and center with his highly respected knowledge and application of US law and US Constitution. Combine this even further with his ability to hold riveting attention in conveying the seriousness of our current times, with the Supreme Court, Donald Trump, the Republican Party and this current election, his contribution is monumental. Thank you so much Judge Luttig and Elizabeth. You are so loved and deeply, deeply appreciated.
I've watched him several times on MSNBC but this presentation informed me more about the man... I see he is a man of integrity and honor.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN❣️♥️❣️ I wish there were more like him❣️💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🇺🇸
Exactly! Country over politics! Vote BLUE
Brilliant😊😊😊
Thank you Honorable Judge Luttig.

This is at least the 4th time I’ve heard the story of Judge Luttig and Jan 6, but I never tire of listening to it.
As a former DOD employee I recall taking the oath of office and feeling so emotional in my inner self just awed by such a sacred duty!
👏👏
Judge Luttig was the first republican that said, "Donald trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to democracy." He said it at the Jan 6th hearings and I cried. He's a good man and a true American patriot. We need more like him.
This needs to go viral. Thank you Judge Luttig, American Hero!!!!
Absolutely wonderful prospective! THANK YOU JUDGE LUTTIG!!
I have tons of respect for the Honorable J Michael Luttig and Barbara M. Honest, intelligent people.
So True!!!
Thank you JML for standing and affirming your convictions. I wish you were on the Supreme Court.
Biden should declare the Justices in the corrupt antidemocratic majority in SCOTUS oath-violating aiders and comforters of insurrectionists and remove those Justices, citing Amendment 14 Section 3.
This is a great statesman! Thank you for your service, Judge Luttig. What a wonderful story. You may have saved our democracy with that single tweet.
Love, love, love Judge Michael Luttig--over these past few years I have come to regard him as probably the most respected scholar on U.S. Constitutional Law and whenever I see anything that he's featured in, I devour it. (Also, love and to Judge Luttig's wife, Elizabeth 💙💙💙💙!)
Thank you, Honorable Judge Michael Luttig for everything! *Stunning and eloquent!*
The Best
From Asia , looking at the STATE OF AFFAIRS AT THE U.S. SUPREME COURT WHICH SEEMS TO BE UTTERLY DYSFUNCTIONAL , JUDGE MICHAEL LUTTIG SHOULD BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.SUPREME COURT .
THIS WILL RESTORE THE DIGNITY AND INTEGRITY OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
I am watching from Asia ,.and have the highest respect and admiration for the integrity, honesty, and truthfulness of Judge Luttig .❤❤❤❤
Chief Justice, but yeah
Yes the whole world is watching this mess. We will not go back. Vote BLUE to save American democracy.
Thanks Asia. Judge Michael Luttig is our hero for our democracy in these troubled times in USA. 💙
Yes, the Chief justice must be Republican ( to satisfy the Republicans of fairness) but his integrity must be beyond reproach. Who but this man .
Biden should declare the Justices in the corrupt antidemocratic majority in SCOTUS oath-violating aiders and comforters of insurrectionists and remove those Justices, citing Amendment 14 Section 3.
Love Judge Luttig and his honest assessment of the legal disasters that the GOP and Trump and SCOTUS are foisting on the American people.
Biden should declare the Justices in the corrupt antidemocratic majority in SCOTUS oath-violating aiders and comforters of insurrectionists and remove those Justices, citing Amendment 14 Section 3.

His wisdom, thoughtfulness, insight, decency, ethics, dedication to country, and just pure stellar humanness is AWE-INSPIRING❣️♥️💙♥️💙♥️🇺🇸
Judge Luttig is a one of several heroes on January 6th. Praises for his wife Elizabeth for encouraging him to speak out. Another hero that I learned of here is Mike Pence's son. Lt. Michael J.Pence USMC who told his father VP Pence that he must preside over Congress on January 6th, 2021 to execute his duty to his Oath to Uphold the Constitution of the United States. Semper Fi Michael J Pence for representing the Corps with duty, honor and commitment!!! ❤
@@marthasimons7940 agree wholeheartedly
There is not a word yet to be coined that could begin to express my gratitude, Judge Luttig, for your lifelong commitment to our democracy. You are a gift to all who take time to listen to your wisdom and your humanity. You are a hero who never aspired to be one. You became a hero by your commitment to the greater good for democracy, our country, and the principles of our constitution above self, ego, or your need for praise. History will forever speak your name.❤❤❤❤ much love and gratitude.

Agree, Americans should elect judges,not a president
Yes get rid of all those Trump pick. And elect judge Luttig to Supreme Court.

He's making a lot of claims with no one and no actual information that backs up his claims.
As a Judge he should know full well that makes for a horrible argument

My faith would be restored in our Supreme Court if Honorable J. Michael Luttig were seated. I have faith and he has proven he will support the Constitution with every fiber of his being. That is what we need now.
Judge, Your famous tweet afforded my spirit and my heart a sense of calm at a time when I felt as though everything was upside down. Thank you for that. I still get teary-eyed when I think of it. I want you to know that. You are America's hero.
I hope your words were saved for the record for all time! Your words help to heal my heart and give me hope.
Thank you! The wisdom, integrity and honor of this Judge is phenomenal. Thank God for Judge Luttig, the Judge’s wife, the judge’s good friend and Mike Pence’s veteran son and Pence for doing the right thing. We were so close to losing our democracy.

I was just lamenting on how absolutely underrated this little piece of history is.

This should go viral. Why are people still supporting Trump??
Because Trump isn't the problem. We are.
@Anubis-hm7ro because they are uninformed, they don't believe anything like this could possibly happen in the US. But that's the problem, the US is held to such a high standard, that nobody believes it could fall like any other country. All we can hope is that, enough people are aware this time around and get out and vote - because we MUST have a landslide - nothing else will do.

I was totally captivated by Judge Luttig's delivery as i have with all his other interviews. He is such wise counsel.
In this session Judge your forceful comments about the former president, the immunity ruling and the Supreme Court gripped me! I have so much respect for you, your teachings and 'voice'.! My parents and grandparents came to America in 1898. I am where I am and who I am because of what this beautiful country affored me. Thank you for your contributions in this struggle we are in!!!!!

The Honorable J.Michael Luttig : American Patriot and Hero.
Judge Luttig… thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patriotism and for your loyalty to our COUNTRY and its founding principles. You don’t know me, and likely, as a liberal Democrat, we would not see eye to eye on a great many things, except the most important one of all: the sacredness of our Constitution and of American democracy. Without that, there is nothing else. You are a true Conservative, sir. History will judge you as the hero you rightfully are.
Bravo! Judge Luttig is my hero
Love your judgement, judge you are a national treasure indeed.
American (and World!) History will kindly honor Judge Luttig!
A true American Patriot!!!
✊🏼✊🏽✊🏻⚖️🗽🇺🇸
I am always a better & enlightened citizen after listening to the Honorable Judge Luttig. I thank him for sharing his gift of genius with this common citizen.
I'm grateful for all he did and is doing for upholding our constitution. Great & important discussion. And the judge appears to have a lot of homes!
Thank you ❤ You are a national treasure !
I hope the six Supreme Court Judges who voted for Presidential Immunity hear this talk by a truly honorable Judge!
What an incredible story! A true patriot! Bless him! ❤ 🙌 🇺🇸
OK I am a Brit, so this isn't about my constitution, we don't even have one here! But I am massively interested in yours, this man is actively trying to save yours, and I don't think it is going too far to say that he will go down in history for his service to the US and that means the free world!
As a Canadian, I couldn't agree more. 🇨🇦
And what a piece of history to find this interview. What an absolute gem.
You saved our country by Vice President Pence, abiding in our Constitution. Thank you so very much!
Thank you Judge Luttig, for learning how to tweet when our country needed you to send out a tweet.
I’m pleased that you and your family are safe.
Thank you 💙💙💙🌈🇺🇸
I have watched the happenings from across your northern border for many years. This man is a national treasure for sure. A beacon of hope in your troubled political times! I watch in astonishment at the antics of the SCOTUS and shake my head. Judge Luttig is a man who truly loves his country!
Thank you Barbara McQuade. I've admired your input on events.
Thank God we have one honorable citizen left in America who has the courage to speak the truth
I'm sure we disagree on a lot, but what an honorable man. Bravo.
I'm finding that when we focus on what's truly important, the heroes don't have a side. A lot of high-level Democrats and Republicans working together these days on common goals.
I can’t help but reflect on the words of a great man that my father once shared with me. I think Judge Luttig is befitting of this. “To every man there comes in his lifetime that special moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered a chance to do a very special thing, unique to him and fitted to his talents, what a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared or unqualified for that which would be his finest hour.”
- Winston Churchill
I have never ever heard more wise words than what Judge Luttig said, "The hero decides years before what they must do, and when the moment comes, they dont decide, they just do!" This, encompasses all realms of life!
Thank you Judge! ....for your wisdom. Wisdom, is quite rare in life!
So glad I found this! I will always listen to what Judge Luttig has to say.
Glad to see this video. I'll plug it into my headphones when I retire for the evening. Judge Luttig has a calming effect on me.
Judge Luttig is one of those people who would be a delight to have a beer with.
Id like to smoke a J with him. He seems a relaxed fellow, tempered by deep thoughts
You'll have to get up at 4 am
RESPECT!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
I love Judge Luttig. He is an American hero.⚖️🇺🇲🙏🏼
"Stand for something or fall for anything"
~Alexander Hamilton
I read that once on a paperweight.
Years later I became a nurse. I witnessed something and had to make a decision whether to turn to my supervisor or let it go. I thought it over and during 3 restless nights, that quote rung like a distant bell.
My coworker lost his job. My supervisor was not happy with me. And the atmosphere around my other coworkers was so thick you could almost hear what they were thinking.
But I know in my heart to this day I did the right thing. As a psychiatric nurse, I felt it wasn't only my obligation, it was my duty to protect those who are not able to protect themselves.
I've been in the same type of situation and lost my job under a deluge of woven untruths. Thank you for standing up. It's a lonely place.
Democracy Will Win.
Long Live The Aspen Institute.
Thank You Sisters And Brothers.
Luttig for Chief Justice of SCOTUS! Remove Roberts and replace with Luttig!
Agree! Ethical! Honesty & honorable. Much more so than some in our supreme court now. Bought & paid for, down to their very souls. VOTE BLUE
I support Judge Luttig and his family to enjoy "retirement" as his service has already gone above and beyond.
May the seats of our Supreme Court in time have Judges of such character, intelligence, ethics and courage to TRULY represent our United States of America. and all that we stand for. May we arrive at a future, where we can look back on this time of insidious corruption, with trust once again and a sense of relief.
What a fabulous idea. Is he young enough to want to?
Good idea.
Agree,why having a supreme court when they gave trump green light to be President again when trump wants to destroy the Constitution God helps us all
Thank you for this reporting, and thank you, Judge Luttig, for protecting our democracy. You, dear sir, are a true patriot. 🇺🇸💪
Elizabeth, "you have to stop this". Quite the "Honey do" list to say the least, thank you Elizabeth for loving, supportive encouragement. I've appreciated this story each time that I've heard it (keeping it so very real), which has been so very appreciated. I remember hearing Judge Luttig's voice for the first time as he shared his insights of Jan 6th. He was a rock of Gibraltar for me, as I was so devastated as the dark shadow dimmed our Capital.
Gratitude
Thank you Judge and Mrs Luttig! You saved our democracy!!
I love this man. The day will come when he is held up as one of the giants of American history.
Thank you so much
Judge Luttig for your Service to this
Great Country!!
You are a True American HERO 🇺🇸!!!
Many Blessings 🙏💙
To you and your family!!
My new American 🇺🇸 Heroes of Democracy added to my list!- Judge Luttig & Atty Richard Cullen (Outside Counsel VP Mike Pence).
Okay, world, meet a real patriot. We owe this man a lot. He has had my respect for his honorable actions. Thank you, Judge.
Michael Luttig should be placed in charge of the supreme court! He is a brilliant, kind, knowledgeable legal scholar and expert in law.
He is a a true defender of the Constiution. We are blessed to him as a shining light to integrity.
I was on the edge of my seat. Thank you for your Service Judge.
I sure do love Judge Luttig. Thank you, Judge, for being a great American patriot. 💕
This man is remarkable. He belongs on our Supreme Court.
Thanks Judge Luttig, please never give up! We need great legal minds courageous enough to stand up to our highest court.
Thank you Honorable J. Michael Luttig and your good wife.
Women are more powerful than they realize. Thank you to Mrs. Luttig for her part.
He IS a National Treasure! It IS the job of WE the People to the keep pressure on for upholding the Constitution of these United States.
Hello everyone, I am a Democrat down ballot and I posted this on my Facebook page. I feel everyone regardless of your party affiliation needs to listen and watch this. Thank you very much. Our democracy is on the line and it must be saved.
Me too. SHARED
Read it, think about it, DO SOMETHING! GET BUSY.
Right now, Judge Ludig has the key. President Biden , in his quiet, brilliant way, & The Harras team can handle this if we stand behind them. Judge Ludig must lead us on in w/ his legal brilliance. Thank YOU. BARBAR QUAID
This refrain "democracy is on the line" or "democracy is on the ballot" is possibly the most nonsensical babble ever coined. Hopefully you are at the bottom of the ballot.
🙏🙏 what a heavy heavy interview.. I’m not even American..
This is what a giant, a hero, an Olympian of and for the people, their constitution, their law & justice system, looks & sounds like. In our house, we are also ever so grateful to Elizabeth Luttig (wholly eligible for Sainthood in our universe) and Counsel Richard Cullen. Thank you Aspen Inst. for a fantastic gift to the world. And shame on you SCOTUS six.
The Honorable Judge Luttig is a true hero and is of such high character, he makes the people of America proud
