It’s almost prophetic that the time of testing has come today…Our government is attempting to force upon us, we the people, a form of government and a country of the very kind that our forefathers and Founders rejected 250 years ago.” Retired Judge J. Michael Luttig, who served on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, joins The Weekend to discuss the significance of the nation’s 250th birthday while under President Trump’s power.
