Screw any sense of fairness! That is the attitude of deranged former federal judge Michael Luttig. Rather than letting the 2024 election proceed normally, Luttig is DEMANDING that Jack Smith prosecute President Donald Trump in a trial in the weeks leading into the November election in order to keep him tied up in court and OFF the campaign trail aka ELECTION INTERFERENCE. The one great thing about Luttig is that NOBODY gives more of a hangdog over the top sad appearance than he does as you can see here. Perhaps he is already anticipating the very very sad (for liberals) news that the Supreme Court will be delivering on July 1 on the subject of Presidential immunity that would push even the start of the J6 trial well past 2024 entirely.
This guy is representative of the politicized garbage we have been putting on District Court benches the past 3 decades.
Article 3 says that the Justices serve "during good behavior," and Article I says that Congress "shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."
It is only the President who has no protection for their behavior in the elected office?
Is "good behavior" for the Justices limited only to when they are on the bench hearing oral arguments or when they release their rulings, but at no other time?
Is "going to and returning from" Congress an official act of Congress or is it a secondary act that is still protected?
So why are enemies of President Trump arguing that the President has no immunities for himself, or that they are so limited in scope to be narrower than even the members of Congress and the Supreme Court enjoy?
