YouTube Description
as posted by the channelConservative federal judge J. Michael Luttig — appointed by George H.W. Bush, former close friend of Chief Justice John Roberts, and the man who shepherded Clarence Thomas through his Supreme Court confirmation — tells Jim Acosta that Trump has collapsed the separation of powers for the first time in 250 years, the Supreme Court has acquiesced in presidential lawlessness through its shadow docket, and what is coming this fall with the midterms could make January 6th look mild by comparison. Luttig also delivers his sharpest verdict yet on Clarence Thomas's recent University of Texas speech blaming progressives for Nazism and Stalinism — calling it a highly partisan political attack that no sitting Supreme Court justice should ever have given, and says Thomas knew exactly what he was doing. On Chief Justice Roberts, his friend of over 40 years, Luttig says simply: he has already forfeited the legacy he spent a lifetime building.
