  It’s always the retired ones that find any courage
- This guy helped save us in 2020 by working to convince Pence to defy Trump and to certify the election. If you are going to save us a click at least read the article and allow us to give the guy an ounce of credit.
- MVP

Too many people in this thread are shitting on this guy without having read the article.

Good to see this from the Republican.
- Especially one that saved us in 2020 by working to convince Pence to defy Trump and to certify the 2020 election.
- It means a lot less when it's coming from retired, or retiring, Republicans. It's practically meaningless.
  Especially when it's a judge, who isn't supposed to be politically aligned in the first place.

Shhh
It's a rare spined Republican, showing hints of balls.

yea, now these fucking spineless goons are starting to see what the table's going to look like when all the chips are down, and are trying to make sure they end up on the right side of history. too little too late. fuck this guy.

  Luttig also came out strongly on the 14th amendment barring Trump from holding office in future.
