Lets Support Michael J. Luttig! (Supreme Court)

Posted on 07/02/2005 5:36:59 PM PDT by ConservativeMan55






The 51-year-old Luttig is considered a solid conservative choice. The Texas native worked in the Justice Department during the first Bush administration and has served on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va.

Luttig helped take down Anita Hill.

Luttig a potential pick for Supreme Court.

Profile of Michael J. Luttig.

Appeals Court Judge Rising Star Among Conservatives.

Another Profile of Michael J. Luttig.



The self-described legal nerd wrote the 1999 4th Circuit decision that struck down a key provision of 1994 Violence Against Women Act. The Supreme Court agreed on a 5-4 vote that Congress overstepped its bounds in giving rape victims the right to sue their attackers for monetary damages.

He is the son of John Luttig, the Texas man who was shot to death by Napoleon Beazley during a carjacking in 1994. When the case reached the Supreme Court, Luttig's ties to the nation's highest bench caused three of the sitting justices to recuse themselves.

In addition to his conservative credentials, I like the fact Luttig is only 51.

Yes. He would be a great addition to the court.

He would have the oppurtunity to serve for a long time!

I too would like a great conservative in the court.

But, aren't we probably destroying any judge's chances of being nominated by being so eager to get him/her nominated? Why don't we wait to see who the President nominates and then show our support or displeasure.
