Harry Litman - Judge Luttig on the Supreme Court's Enabling of Trump's Lawlessness
Judge Michael Luttig wrote an important article published today in the Atlantic magazine entitled “The End of Rule of Law in America.”
In it, Judge Luttig provides a scathing, extended criticism of President Trump, of whom he says “is not a man who respects the rule of law, no one who seeks to understand it.”
Judge Luttig explains that Trump's presidency to date "has been a reign of lawless aggression by a tyrannical wannabe king, a rampage of presidential lawlessness in which Trump has proudly wielded the powers of the office and the federal government to persecute his enemies.” He concludes that “in the first few months of his second administration, Trump has proved himself an existential threat to the rule of law in America.”
Judge Luttig’s analysis and proof are overwhelming. Many of us have been making similar points but coming from a man of unimpeachable conservative credentials and judicial prominence, the words ring home with special force.
