VIDEO"NIAGARA FALLS!!! SLOOOWLY I TURNED... STEP BY STEP..."That was a popular vaudeville routine years ago about some really sad person who was angrily triggered by the name "Niagara Falls." Well, that vaudeville routine seems to have entered the realm of reality repeated many times each day whenever a liberal hears the name of "DONALD TRUMP!" As an example, watch the very very sad Michael Luttig spit out the name of Donald Trump in a tone of extreme anger and fury. Yes, just the thought of Donald Trump completely consumes poor Michael Luttig. He can't even get a respite from his...

VIDEONobody gives better Mourn than TDS J. Michael Luttig a former federal judge, the father of a crackpot theory that states could use the Fourteenth Amendment to keep the name of Donald Trump off their election ballots. That premise was so ABSURD that even liberals on the Supreme Court were unwilling to embarrass themselves by buying into that and voted it down UNANIMOUSLY along with the sane judges.So what happened to Luttig in the wake of the election? Well, his grief over the results must have been so bad that he has been in hiding for over a month until...

More than 200 former aides to the three GOP presidential nominees who preceded former President Trump in 2016 — former President George W. Bush, former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) — endorsed Vice President Harris on Monday. The majority of the group also endorsed President Biden in 2020. The group wrote a letter announcing the endorsement, USA Today first reported. The letter said it was a reunion of sorts from 2020, though it added that additional Bush alumni in particular were added to the group this cycle that are opposing Trump and backing Harris. “Of course,...

FIRST ON FOX: A dozen Republican White House lawyers who served in the administrations of then-Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in her race against GOP nominee former President Donald Trump. "We endorse Kamala Harris and support her election as President because we believe that returning former President Trump to office would threaten American democracy and undermine the rule of law in our country," the lawyers wrote in a letter that the signatories shared first with Fox News Digital. The letter was released on Friday, the day after Harris delivered...

VIDEOUntil recently, former federal judge J. Michael Luttig's shtick has been to just idly sit back like a fat Buddha and sadly whine about how Donald Trump just keeps winning despite all the Lawfare tossed at him. However, the recent Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity appears to have broken poor Luttig to the extent that his shtick has switched up and he has gone full angry Drama Queen chock full of absolutely HILARIOUS overacting about how Trump has won yet again.

VIDEOScrew 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)...

VIDEOLoony former federal Judge Michael Luttig recently turned himself into a laughable clown show when the U.S. Supreme Court UNANIMOUSLY shot down his ABSURD scheme to keep President Donald Trump off the 2024 ballots. When that extreme HUMILIATION slapped him in the face, Luttig went into a state of highly entertaining grief-stricken mourning which was covered here in the DUmmie FUnnies. However, after a brief period of hiding in shame, Luttig is baaaaaack with yet more lunacy. He now seems to think that DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE. No, not because of all the illegal LAWFARE being thrown at Trump with...

VIDEOMSNBC went into a state of deep deep mourning when the news broke that the Supreme Court will take up President Trump's immunity appeal thus delaying the trial for more months to come and likely past the November election. Of special note is former judge Michael Luttig whose crackpot Lawfare idea that states can use the 14th Amendment to remove Trump from the ballot is currently being laughed out of the Supreme Court. With his crackpot idea being laughed away, Luttig was profoundly saddened by the news that the J6 trial will probably be delayed past the election. His face...

Who got to Joe Scarborough?/The question arises in light of Scarborough's stunning flip-flop over the Colorado Supreme Court decision kicking Donald Trump off the ballot. Yesterday, we caught Scarborough expressing surprising skepticism over the court's ruling. Scarborough dubiously asked whether the decision should be made by "people on cable news," or by state judges "randomly" deciding. Scarborough suggested that a prerequisite to barring Trump should be a conviction for insurrection in a D.C. court. What a difference a day makes! Twenty-four hours later, there was Scarborough this morning, praising the Colorado decision to the heavens as "the most pro-democratic thing...

[snip] On Nicolle Wallace's show yesterday, Luttig once again played the role of a useful conservative propounding views destined to delight the left. He declared that the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court banning Donald Trump from the ballot, supposedly pursuant to the terms of the 14th Amendment, to be: "a masterful judicial opinion. It is unassailable and irrefutable in every single respect."You could sense liberal hearts swooning from coast to coast! And in a statement that was either deeply naive or deeply cynical, Luttig said of of the Colorado court's decision: "This is not politics. It is certainly not...

VIDEOWhile watching the November 28, 2023 Morning Joe show interview with TDS Never Trumper J. Michael Luttig hyping the use of lawfare against President Donald Trump, I was struck by the resemblance both facially and vocally of Luttig to the late great comedian Sam Kinison. In this video I present the two of them for your own comparison. Am I just crazy or do you also see the resemblance between the two? (Maybe don't answer that question.) Of course, I am not comparing them politically since Kinison mostly avoided politics plus even he would NOT go to such an extreme...

A group of prominent conservatives released a new report Thursday outlining their investigation into the 2020 election and have concluded former President Trump's claims of a stolen election are unfounded. The report, "LOST NOT STOLEN: The Conservative Case that Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election," was put together by three former federal judges and eight conservative leaders who investigated Trump's claims. Over the course of a year, the group looked at all 64 cases of the Trump campaign's fraudulent claims in six key states and concluded that there were no substantial instances of fraud that would have...

Today, loyalty to the nation is again being questioned. As the Pelosi-Thompson-Cheney circus rolls on in D.C., signals are given that the Democrats, have their sights set on more than just the former President. Obviously, the primary purpose of the pseudo-hearing is twofold: Destroy Trump and keep January Sixth alive, until November. Recently retired judge Michael Luttig, said the quiet part out loud: “Donald Trump and his allies and supporters are still a clear and present danger to American democracy,” The comment harkens back to the McCarthy era hearings and guilt by association. Once a communist always a communist has...

A retired federal judge appointed by former President George H.W. Bush warned in an opinion piece published by CNN on Wednesday that Republicans are “already a long way toward recapturing the White House in 2024, whether Trump or another Republican candidate wins the election or not.” In his essay, J. Michael Luttig broke down what he called the “Republican blueprint” to steal the 2024 election ― the cornerstone of which, he said, was the Supreme Court’s embrace of the “independent state legislature” doctrine. The 2020 election fraud lies peddled by former President Donald Trump and his allies are just “the...

Federal Judge Resigns to Work for Boeing By LARRY O'DELL, Associated Press Writer 5 minutes ago Judge J. Michael Luttig has resigned from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to accept a job as senior vice president and general counsel for Boeing Co., the company said Wednesday. Luttig, 51, a conservative judge, had been mentioned last year as a possible nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. He was appointed to the 4th Circuit by former President Bush in 1991

The White House decided to employ a politically-palatable, pundit-prescribed exit strategy with the withdrawal of Harriet Miers. Because of that, Miss Miers is no longer a nominee to the United States Supreme Court, and much of America may believe the Bush Administration's contention that she withdrew over a request for documents. In actuality, she withdrew because her 1993 pro-abortion speech came to light, and that was the straw that broke the camel's back for the great Dr. James Dobson, Senator Sam Brownback, Senator John Thune, and any members of the conservative base who had reserved judgment up to that point....

WASHINGTON — Rebounding from the failed nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, President Bush is poised to select between two of the nation's leading conservative federal appeals-court judges — both with deep backgrounds in constitutional law — for what promises to be a bruising Senate confirmation battle. With an announcement expected today or Monday, administration officials have narrowed the focus to Judges Samuel Alito of New Jersey and Michael Luttig of Virginia, sources involved in the process said. Both have sterling legal qualifications and solid conservative credentials, and either would set off an explosive fight with Senate Democrats,...

WASHINGTON - Rebounding from the failed nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, President Bush is poised to select between two of the nation's leading conservative federal appeals court judges - both experienced jurists with deep backgrounds in constitutional law - for what promises to be a bruising Senate confirmation battle. With an announcement expected Sunday or Monday, administration officials have narrowed the focus to Judges Samuel Alito of New Jersey and Michael Luttig of Virginia, sources involved in the process said. Both have sterling legal qualifications and solid conservative credentials, and both would set off an explosive fight...

Senator George Allen (R-VA) named names Thursday when asked by Fox News to suggest viable replacements for the now withdrawn Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers. Allen mentioned Judges Michael Luttig, Karen Williams, J. Harvey Wilkinson, and Janice Rogers Brown as potential nominees. Luttig, Williams, and Wilkinson serve on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals covering Allen’s home state of Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia. Luttig has served on the Fourth Circuit since 1991. He had previously served as a law clerk for Antonin Scalia, when Scalia was a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for...

Ok, Harriet Miers has withdrawn. Who will be next? Whom should Bush nominate? Make your choice!
