The International Symbol of Democracy
Posted on 04/28/2024 1:36:01 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27
Retired Federal Judge J. Michael Luttig said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” that the Supreme Court was fiddling as former President Donald Trump’s immunity claims are an “existential threat to America’s democracy.”
Luttig said, “The Supreme Court has now fiddled while the Rome has almost burned to the ground, all but trivializing the existential threat to America’s democracy and the rule of law facing the country. America’s democracy and rule of law are the heart and soul of the nation. It’s our democracy and the rule of law that have made America the beacon of freedom from the world for almost 250 years. Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election did drive a stake through America’s democracy and the rule of law. His efforts to overturn the election disqualified him from the presidency under the 14th Amendment, and it rendered him subject to prosecution for his offenses against the United States. Yet 3 1/2 years later, the former president has remained unapologetically defiant.”

Why do you suppose that might be? It wasn’t by accident.
They were *trained* to believe that. The shift occurred long before that.
Whatever Army TM governed political stuff, prior to World War II, pulled no punches. “Democracy is rule by masses. Attitude towards property communistic. Results in license, agitation, discontent. Mob rule.”
After World War II, all such pronouncements officially were all about how great Democracy was. One gem (among many howlers) I heard on a vintage 1950s Armed Forces Radio re-broadcast, “A dictator can’t take over in a Democracy. The people won’t allow it.”
They were also quick to admonish anyone for discrimination by way of ethnic or religious background. “Judge people by their character”.
All of this is now Verboten in the new Utopia they are building.
Luttig has a serious case of Trump derangement syndrome. Amazing that he was ever considered a “conservative judge”.
UNPRINTABLE!
You have no idea how sick I am of the word " democracy"OH YES I DO!
Were a democracy like the democrat party is a Democratic party...
The International Symbol of Democracy
Yup...
Hyperbole much there, yer’honor?
DJT is the least of your friggin’ worries. The libturds, like yourself, are the real problem. You have stepped so far outside the constraints of the Constitution that you’ll never find your way home to true social freedom as envisioned by the Founders.
This is an “Existential Fight by Trump Against Criminal Politicians and Wild-Eyed Communists.”
“Keep Washington DC Safe for Us Ruthless Tyrants !”
“The Last Thing We Need are the American People Meddling in Our Crime Family Business !”
“Retired Federal stooge J. Michael Luttig”
Good thing he is retired. From what I can tell he should have never been a judge in the first place.
He was lauded here frequently before he came out against Trump.
I wonder if Luttig was born an a**hole, or if he practiced being one since high school?
We need our own Pinochet.
L
No we don’t.
Leave the country.
We dodged a bullet with Garland, and this POS would have been just as bad as the “moderate” Garland.
“’He was lauded here frequently before he came out against Trump.”
Bwahahahaha, you’re too funny.
“Leave the country.”
KMA.
L
No. You want a Pinochet, you don’t belong here. Russia or North Korea might be more to your liking.
Trump is a threat to the Democratic Party, not Democracy.
Whether I want him or not is pretty much irrelevant. That’s the historical cycle. We are not immune to it.
L
No, we are not immune. It’s why it’s important to call out people like you who state publicly that a Pinochet is what we need.
