Conservative Republican Former Judge J. Michael Luttig Endorses Harris

[Lakhota]

Retired federal appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig, a prominent conservative legal scholar put on the bench by President George H.W. Bush, is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump, whose candidacy he describes as an existential threat to American democracy.

It will be the first time Luttig, a veteran of two Republican administrations, has voted for a Democrat.

“In the presidential election of 2024 there is only one political party and one candidate for the presidency that can claim the mantle of defender and protector of America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law,” Luttig wrote in a statement obtained exclusively by CNN. “As a result, I will unhesitatingly vote for the Democratic Party’s candidate for the Presidency of the United States, Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris.”

Luttig played a now famous role in persuading then-Vice President Mike Pence to defy Trump and certify the 2020 presidential election. In a series of tweets drafted at the request of Pence’s attorney, Luttig spelled out in stark terms the legal rationale for Pence to reject the former president’s attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s victory.

Since then, Luttig has emerged as a preeminent constitutional critic of Trump. In endorsing Harris, Luttig argues that partisan distinctions must, in this election, be set aside in order to prevent the “singularly unfit” Trump from returning to the White House.

“In voting for Vice President Harris, I assume that her public policy views are vastly different from my own,” Luttig writes, “but I am indifferent in this election as to her policy views on any issues other than America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law, as I believe all Americans should be.”

Exclusive: Conservative Republican endorses Harris, calls Trump a threat to democracy​

I applaud this great man for his courage to put country ahead of politics! What do you think?

From the OP:

Speaking to CNN, Luttig said his decision to publicly back Harris was a matter of knowing “right from wrong” – and acting in accordance.

“In my faith, we believe that we will one day answer for our wrongs. I have always tried to live my life in anticipation of that day. Imperfectly, to be sure. But I have tried,” an emotional Luttig said. “My endorsement of the Vice President was the right thing to do. It would have been wrong for me to stay silent, and I believe I would have one day had to answer for that silence.

“It’s really that simple.”

Stop the presses! This might even supersede Tyler Swift's endorsement.

Who?

He must not be very "prominent" when I never heard tell of him.

70 must be the new 40 to dems.

 

[struth]

Not surprised, he has been out spoken against Trump for years. He's a neo-con that supports executing minors, and since leaving the bench been a big time demafacsit corp lawyer. He's paycheck is largely dependant on the warmongers like Harris and Xiden...not peace makers like Trump

Dimtards are atheists, they have no faith.

Quit lying you eastern euro fag.
Swift hasn't endorsed anyone. Yet. And it won't be Trump.

She should sue his fat ass.

 

[Lakhota]

Dimtards are atheists, they have no faith.

Former Judge Michael Luttig is a man of faith. This thread is about him.

 

[Catsnmeters]

Dimtards are atheists, they have no faith.

I will pray for you.

 

[Donald H]

Just somebody needs to make sure that Trump doesn't get off message again the way he did with comparing his good looks with Kamawla.
Another bout like that could reveal to the demofks, his weakness. There's nothing can be done about the polls and it's going to get worse before it gets better, with their convention ongoing..

On a positive note for Trump, the swing must be pretty much exhausted by now. There are no more minds to be made up.

Trump must resist feeling that it's already swung too far.

The world is depending on Trump to hold it all together to win and stop America's/Kamawla's mad rush to nuclear war.

 

[Rawley]

I applaud this great man for his courage to put country ahead of politics! What do you think?

I think your are rather ill informed. Luttig went around the bend years ago.

 

[Donald H]

.not peace makers like Trump

That's the red meat for all the political discussions cocerning the two choices!

 

[jbrownson0831]

Former Judge Michael Luttig is a man of faith. This thread is about him.

He is now a dimtard, so he has no faith, working for the side of evil since he retired. Quoting a dimtard atheist as being against Trump is like saying the sun is hot.

There is nothing American about the Progressive Socialist Communist Party. He is another RINO and/or a shill that was activated. It was people like him who enabled the Progs into near total power and making changes to long held procedure, talking about getting rid of the electoral system, added judges for the Supreme Court, also defying the Supreme court, enacting crazy laws and protecting people in the order of their importance, using the Patriot act, Homeland Security and the DOJ to destroy people with evil men like Garland at the helm and the leaders of all of the security/spy/federal law enforcement agencies shill for other concerns. John McCain was supposed to be a Republican. He did not like Trump and yet was part of the party to get rid of ACA at least in the form it was in. And he voted its removal down. That is what this man represents to me.

 

[Rambunctious]

He is rich and has a golden healthcare insurance plan for life... he has zero concerns about food and fuel prices... he can afford to vote for a communist like Harris.... we on the other hand can not.....

 

[Harry Dresden]

that does it.....im going with harris....

 

[wamose]

Luttig is a neocon, appointed by a neocon, acting like a robber baron neocon and obviously not too smart as evidenced by his endorsement of Harris, who herself is a Marxist version of a neocon. He looks a lot like Kasich, another stupid neocon. That's a bad look. MAGA

A warning for the good of everybody, both American and foreigner.

Don't allow Trump to go off over issues such as comparing his good looks!

Trump fulfilling his promise to bring peace with Russia could be the only factor that keeps our planet from matching the sun's heat in America's big cities.

 

[Donald H]

There is nothing American about the Progressive Socialist Communist Party.

Socialism strives for full employment and achieves that through government cooperation.
Capitalism thrives on unemployment of the labour force in that labour has no control over wages and benefits.!
