Judge Luttig: No Question that Trump is 'of the school of constitutional denialism' - Velshi - MSNBC



Dissent is fully baked into the foundations of America. The United States was founded as a protest; a protest against British tyranny. Political dissent led to the open rebellion that created the United States. And because of that, dissent is not only recognized in America–it is cherished.

But today, dissent is being punished and checks and balances are under attack. Judge J. Michael Luttig, former federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, says “there’s no question in my mind” that Trump is “of the school of constitutional denialism”. - Aired on 05/04/2025.

I was going to look for this clip, so thank you for sharing.

Judge Luttig is often quotable.

He said later he deliberately spoke kore slowly than he usually does in order to emphasize the gravity and the importance of his testimony. Not that he ever speaks fast, but he doesn't always speak quite that slowly.
