I've felt overwhelmed by the amount of responsibility that seemed to get dumped on us ordinary patriotic citizens that don't have the power necessary to fight this menace.

Thank you, retired judges!

Now, where are the retired GENERALS???!!!!

That is why they tried attacking Kelly to strip him of rank and retirement pay?

Well, except for the supreme court toadies and they will forever live with their shame.

Thanks to these men and women that are coming forward.

and we the people. They sold us out for pieces of silver.

Thanks, wnylib.

but history will condemn them--assuming democracy wins and we get to tell the story

I will take any help that we can get to stop this madness. Good for these judges!!!

that savory history morsel, hamsterjill!!

LOL

Have a great day!

Literally hundreds of years worth of knowledge and experience vs the Trump team of dolts.

These judges give me hope.

Here is a bit more:

5/ One name is on all three briefs: J. Michael Luttig. A conservative legal giant, appointed by George H.W. Bush, once considered for the Supreme Court. This is not partisan. This is people who love the law defending it from people who would break it.

6/ Think about what this means. These judges are retired. No salary, no robe, no power to gain. They could stay comfortable and quiet. Instead they’re signing their names, putting decades of reputation on the line, because the rule of law is worth fighting for.

7/ And courts listen. When people who spent their careers on the bench tell a judge “you were deceived, look again,” that carries weight no press release ever will. They’re fighting inside the system, with the system’s own tools, and it’s working.

Thank you for putting them up.

There are a couple more and well worth the read. It gives me some hope.

Thank you so much for sharing.

He is possibly the most thoughtful, well-reasoned legal expert I've ever heard speak about trump and the actions of this administration. IIRC I believe he was also outspoken during trump's first term. He doesn't get political at all, he just talks in terms of the Constitution.

lawyers, judges and reporters sit up and listen.
I've always noticed a uniquely powerful respect for him.

Thank you, Sir!

He probably didn't meet the litmus test of partisan behavior they were looking for. I wonder which one of the 6 got the nod instead.

He was considered very similar in analytical rigor and critique of colleagues for inconsistencies or embellishments in their judicial opinions. (Wiki). He helped Justices David Souter and Clarence Thomas through the nomination process during the GWB administration. W interviewed him as a candidate for the SCOTUS seats that were filled by Roberts and Alito.

I respect that he’s speaking out nowadays, but am not sure I would have wanted him on the SCOTUS bench. On the other hand, vs Roberts and Alito…

and it might have rescued our democracy. Thanks for the link. Interesting.

from both parties to start raising hell every day. Along with ALL of the retired Military generals and admirals.....

Trump and Republicans have a history of throwing people under the bus the minute they are of no further use......
LOL......
I wonder if the Republicans in the U.S. Senate, the Republicans in the U.S. House, and the Republicans on the U.S. Supreme Court
have considered... THAT THERE IS NO LEGISLATIVE BRANCH OR JUDICIAL BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT IN A DICTATORSHIP?

Mahalo, Retired Judges! ☮️💙 🌈🌊🍀

It's so easy to lose hope these days. So, so easy. This is the kind of thing that is exactly what we need to keep us going.

THANK YOU, ALL YOU WONDERFUL JUDGES!

And thank you, applegrove, for posting this!

Remove the guilty. Afterward, they can nominate and elect new members.

Better than MAGA setting the unconstitutional legal agenda.
