Those dang "RINOs"! - speaking out against another Trump term

Conservative retired judge, Michael Luttig:

‘I’m more worried today than I was on January 6’

Luttig draws a fine but important legal distinction between a rebellion against the constitution, as described by the 14th amendment section 3, and rebellion against the United States. He claims that groups that filed lawsuits in Colorado and elsewhere to bar Trump from the ballot are confused on this issue.

“They do not yet understand what disqualifies the former president, namely an insurrection or rebellion against the constitution. They have argued the cases as if he is disqualified because he engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.
...
In the meantime Luttig this week helped form a new conservative legal movement, relaunching an organisation formerly known as Checks & Balances as the Society for the Rule of Law. The move was billed as a nationwide expansion aimed at protecting the constitution and defending the rule of law from Trump’s “Make America great again” movement. Its leadership includes Luttig, the lawyer George Conway and former Republican congresswoman Barbara Comstock.

“We believe that the time has come for a new conservative legal movement that still holds the same allegiances to the constitution and the rule of law that the original conservative legal movement held but has abandoned,” Luttig explains. “There’s a split in the conservative legal movement that mirrors the split in the Republican party about Donald Trump.”

>1 2wonderY: Godspeed to him.

>2 davidgn: Agreed. The more conservative legal minds that are at complete odds with the MAGA lot speaking up, the better. Otherwise, it's a lot of yelling from that arena about the radical left that's against them.

Unless Donald ends up in a jail cell he will be the Republican Party nominee. I would be surprised if any of the so called candidates taking part in the debates are going to beat him out in any single nomination primary. Nobody really likes any of them and the great majority of republican voters these days signify as MAGA voters. Call them low information or whatever if you said to them well Michael Luttig says this or that they won't have any idea who you're talking about.

I think I've watched his Frontline interview three times now. Absolutely riveting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9YrPe2Vr84
