Judge Luttig blasts SCOTUS for avoiding ‘key question’ at the heart of Trump immunity case
Вставка

- Former federal Judge J. Michael Luttig joins Ali Velshi to discuss his takeaways from this week’s Supreme Court oral arguments on former President Donald Trump's presidential immunity claim, which many believe will lead to more delays in Trump’s federal criminal cases, and potentially impact the future of the presidency itself. "That this absurd argument is even being made before the Supreme Court is an embarrassment to the Constitution and to our country,” Judge Luttig says. Judge Luttig also criticizes the Supreme Court for avoiding the “straightforward, key question” about the case itself, and explains what decision he believes the justices are most likely to make.

#SCOTUS #Trump #Court
It is very hard to swallow the fact that the Supreme Court is even considering this question.
many people were delusional that the US Gov had the public's interest at heart, they don't !! that veil has been stripped away.
No it is impossible to understand why demoncrats hate America so deeply.
I am sure the dictators of the liberal party are upset that the justice system is not bowing to their demands. There is no evidence that they are going to say that ANY president has blanket immunity, but that there has to be a system that does not exist where he has SOME immunity. Otherwise, Biden will be in jail a couple days after he leaves office and Obama will be arrested in a manner of days for crimes he committed as president. There is almost no way that a president can totally avoid doing something that is against the law somewhere.
It's corruption and collusion, pure and simple.
Considering it, and not even attempting to immediately answer it. Beyond Pathetic
My feelings exactly. Why is SCOTUS even entertaining this ridiculous question? Shameful.
Shameful like Joe Biden and his 10 people rally?
To help that orange monster, obviously.
SCOTUS is / has become a PUTIN puppet.
They have received orders from their owners at the Federalist Society to perform this action.
Easy: DELAY!
It is disgusting that the supreme court is even considerating this issue
😮
Agreed. Trump 2024.
Says everything about the democrats.
Who bought the fringe litigation? This admin. Fact check that.
Why. You ate saying that 200 years of immunity for presidents is wrong. Then Obama and Clinton need to be investigated.
WELL,,,,DEFINITELY,,NOT FOR,,LONG,,THATS. A. GUARANTEE,,,,
This guy should be on SCOTUS. He actually has respect for the law.
Yes!!!
That disqualfies him. Unless you get in front of the SCOTUS choosing committee and bold face lie you don't have a chance.😢
He was on the short list! He should be Chief Justice. Pack the court Biden!
Judge Luttig will rid $COTU$ of Corruption !!
Do you think there a little fever in his bias opinion
If we only we had Judge Luttig making decisions rather than a criminal SCOTUS.
Well said
Exactly!
You mean like a King would. Great idea, King Trump
True, we should have a liberal judge, making all the decisions
@@kenc7120You need help!
Can we trade Luttig for Thomas? There are 13 circuits. We need 13 Judges.
Alito is worse than Thomas, imo, and Roberts is the most spineless Chief Justice in my lifetime.
@@michelez715 Alito is the rich old white guy, thomas is still the black guy who got extremely lucky. Anita Hill was telling the truth and Ginny knows it too lest she wouldn't have called her.
Are you racist???
Yea, you cant have a dictatorship if the court is not packed by your parties appointees.
Yes yes yes
That you for educating me with your wisdom Judge Luttig. I am sickened by these judges. They have the highest positions of ours country's THREE CHECKS AND BALANCES and they are letting the 250 year old system break down because they cannot separate some weird love of ...some ONE person in America that gave them a job. I've had MORE than ONE person in my life give EVERYTHING to protect our most precious agreement. I am absolutely sick over this.
Me too
Me three!
This SCOTUS is immune to embarrassment!
Ethical embarrassment of the highest order !
"That this argument is even made before the Supreme Court is an embarrassment to the constitution and to our country"- Judge Luttig
The SC are the Devil's Advocates, for sure....
The embarrassment is the fact that the Supreme Court has to step in and stop Joe Biden's lawfare... they spoke specifically of the scenario that's occurring now, about an Administration taking over and Prosecuting the previous president.. it's because of Joe this is happening not because of trump😅😅😅
They don't want to hold Trump accountable because then the have to hold Clarence & Ginny Thomas and all the other congressman accountable. Everyone involved should be charged. This is insane.
Why is Biden not in court?
Rep, Mike Waltz: “I reviewed some of Biden’s classified emails from his garage. These documents are incredibly alarming". Now unlike President Trump, Biden was not covered by the Presidential Records Act, for what he exposed as the Vice President.
MNSBC, why are you not reporting on this, why is Biden not in court like President Trump?
Sadly these MAGA judges have no shame, and there's nothing any of us can do about it.
John Roberts continues to take SCOTUS away from wise judgement to partisan irrationality. SCOTUS is no longer an independent branch.
Said the partisan crybaby.

Judge Ludic hit the nail on the head what is the supreme court UP TO !
Saving their own corrupt butts
The goal of this hearing was for 6 justices not to find an answer to an important question, but to waste time to delay the process until after November. Mission accomplished.
So you need a decision BEFORE NOVEMBER BECAUSE THIS IS TOTALLY POLITICAL NOT JUDICIAL. Oh I see good point..... srh2301
@@KaiserBlade Say what.
@@johnbrattan9341😂 Democracy
Donald Trump is definitely trying to destroy our institutions by using every leverage of power he can. Is using the justices that he placed in the courts to try to help him avoid accountability
@@KaiserBlade Have you not been paying attention? The public needs to know whether they are voting for a criminal or for an innocent guy; Is Trump a criminal or not? This is why the trial should take place before November. If Trump is innocent, he should want a speedy trial to prove his innocence.
There is a problem, though: if he hasn't committed crimes against the United States, why does he need immunity?
Things must be getting really bad, as Luttig normally tiptoes around the Supreme Court with respect. If even Judge Luttig has had enough, we are in big trouble!!
That's exactly how I see it too.
"Luttig normally tiptoes..." Case in point: "Whatever scotus decides, it will be the right decision" it wasn't that long ago.
Justice Alito, the point is that other presidents have not committed blatant crimes. No other President has had to fear being prosecuted, except Nixon. If anyone commits crimes, under the rule of law, they can be prosecuted. Alito’s assumption that the legal system cannot hold up against attempts to politicize the law. It means precisely that the SCOTUS must demonstrate faith in the rule of law. But they have themselves been so corrupted that they assume that ALL judges and prosecutors are corrupt. No, Justice Alito, YOU are corrupt, not these other judges who still uphold the constitution and do not put themselves above the law.
This is disgusting.
I think that's true. They're engaged in a blatant effort to legislate from the bench and do whatever partisan things they need to do in order to keep that dangerous demagogue trump from harm while they continue their reactionary and regressive social agenda as if they actually make the laws instead of judging laws in light of the Constitution. The "liberals" on the SC need to be much more forceful in condemning their right-wing associates for this attack on our rule of law. They have been too meek and deferential toward the rogue and corrupt justices.
He overestimated them. I think we have all made that mistake at sometime.
This SCOTUS is compromised.
you jez now figuring it out ? jews
All the chaos for one man. A con man. A criminal.
Yes when will it stop!!!
This would never have become the case if people with integrity in positions of authority stood the higher ground, but they cave to Trump and MAGA as they do damage to our democracy and history will eventually tell the true story. 😢
Think you may be just a tad bias
So sickening hearing Alito, Thomas, Gorsch, and Kavanaugh brazenly in the tank for tRump.
disgraceful!
Democrat tears on a Sunday, it’s a beautiful thing. 🤣
The judge the jury and the district attorney ,is in the tank for the Democrat party.. Talk about hypocrisy 101, You take the cake.

TDS much ??? The problem is your parents,yourself and hordes like you have been indoctrinated to hate anything and anyone with remotely different views or beliefs. The left are the dictatorial regime, can't expect different from communists.
OH, that the voice of reason and sanity that is Judge Luttig will be heard!
SCOTUS should be addressing the case before them. Not hypothetical situations.
It looks as though the SC is now going to send it back down to the lower court, for redetermination on certain issues, as a DELAY TACTIC.
Exactly!
This was just another delay tactic, period
They are. Its all about how much immunity the president has. This is not an appeal for a trial that has not yet taken place.
Aileen Cannon wants her court to decide the case before it based on hypotheticals as well....outright DELAY as well. The new MAGA strategy in action within our courts now!!!! Totally justice demed....Vote blue in NOV
None of Trump's acts were in his official capacity. A 5 year old could make that determination in 5 seconds
Says the 3 year old🤣
Dah sure ok.
yes, exactly. I wonder what SCOTUS endgame is: they send it back to the District Court, which will most likely rule that none of this non-sense was an official act. Trump will appeal this, they will deny it again, then its up to SCOTUS (yet again). Judge Luttig is absolutely right: SCOTUS could have make this decision long long ago, if they, at the end take it up again anyway. I really do wonder how they can get away with this non-sense without any justification.
Alitos question directly aimed to undermine the justice system itself. Not only by potentially discredeting the DOJ but also the GrandJury ("u can get a Ham Sandwitch indicted"), as well as the Jury and presiding Judges.
By that logic I wonder why we need a SCOTUS at all? If a President deems SCOUTS corrupt, he/she can simply "remove" them, or the Court as a whole. By not defining in this specific case what is "official and whats private", Biden could get rid of SCOTUS...
It's mindblowing to me (even for Republican appointed judges) how ignorant someone can be...
@@53merlin use common sense
@@Berley_1234 I am. You're the one believing everything the media is telling you.
Honorable Luttig, you have the most influence, you have the experience, you know the law and Constitution. Please help our country! Everyone is talking about how proposterous this is, but no one is doing anything about it. Put our democracy laws to the ultimate test, do what you know best, exercise our Constitution, and put it to work.
The members of the supreme court saw what every other Americans saw Jan 6,
Our founding fathers got rid of King George.They would be disgusted with Trump today.
I think they'd be even more disgusted with THIS "Supreme Court". John Roberts seems to be determined to go down in history as THE WORST Chief Justice in the history of SCOTUS. He doesn't seem to care - I wonder why (could it be that he's too attached to the money
🎯🎯🎯
and could we be headinig as Cheny quoted?????Sleepwalking toward dictatorship as thewheels of justice grind OH,so slowly [it seems] for him???
Trump's Laywers argued that in order to avoid political prosecutions, you must first by prosecuted by politicians
No actually your anti-trump so it would be you
As a lawyer and citizen, thank you Judge Luttig for non-politically summarily identifying the key question, restricted focus, and proper purpose and process that SCOTUS should have followed. You restore our confidence in the necessary judicial system and how most judges are and should be respected as competent dedicated professionals. I join the many wishing you had instead been appointed as a deserving SCOTUS Justice. It is quick and obvious nonsense that a President could be immune from prosecution for sedition or treason or any "crime" (defined as an offense against the public) while in office which is directly opposed to their democracy role and Constitutional bestowed powers.
FYI Luttig changed from Republican to Independent in 2023.
Judge Luttig would never have been appointed because he would never kowtow to the Federalist Society. The Federalist Society.poses the greatest threat to democracy and freedom. Democracy dies when billionaires absolutely control the levers of power, as they now control the Supreme Court thanks to McConnell and other duplicitous lying Republican Senators.
What difference does it make what he and anyone else says, what should be done or not because the Supreme court is going to see that Trump will not pay for his crimes because they are just going to delay the trials and if Trump becomes President they will just go away.
@@BEACHCHICK-iy5jp Thank you for that info. Sadly that fact should be irrelevant, though it proves further respected Judge Luttig seeks to be an objective scholar worthy of his earned Circuit Court appointment. The current problem SCOTUS justices value their personal politics over reasoned precedents. I value the Republican and Democrat compromises of prior years before all seemingly went wrong with the late 1990's creation of Fux News and the Starr Report wayward actions replaced respected journalism facts with political falsehoods. The extremists are the problems. I continue to rely on the educated majority who know and follow the simple difference between what is right and wrong, which should result in Biden's re-election as the Republicans failed to advance a worthy candidate.
My confidence in this court can never be restored - their corruption runs so deep that it is treasonous!
Thank you Judge Luttig, exactly what I thought. Should be a no-brainer for everybody who prefers to live in a democracy.
Judge Luttig , l am sorry and heart broken that the Supreme Court Justices can’t even do what is right and expected as having one of the most powerful voice in the country. I’m 65 and not a legal scholar but even l know the question is a joke and laughable that they did not answer the question .
6 out of 9 are republican appointees ….they “vote the party line” ….see “citizens united”
What a treasure judge Luttig is. Yet another beautiful mind that has no chance to be on the Supreme Court. But we can hear his no-BS analysis and embrace his wisdom… if only we find the courage to do so???
Got to get rid of crooked Thomas
No president should be allowed to sell or show national security secrets to another country.
In fact, they are not allowed. However, the judiciary has to uphold the law, which is in doubt at the moment.
It should also be an an automatic 25year sentence in jail!
So remove Bidan he the one that took bribes and sold and gave away Americas secrets, not Trump.
joe did it anyway.
They shouldn’t be allowed to send an angry mob toward the Capitol building
Luttig is pure CONSERVATIVE genius!
Never again go to the Federalist society for judicial appointments.
But that’s where all republican presidents get their “marching orders” from.
Absolute immunity would confirm an oxymoronic concept----- one must be granted immunity for breaking laws yet swear an oath to faithfully execute the laws of the United States. There is no such thing as legal law breaking.
This.
"no-one above the law" .. Except war criminals Bush Jr, Obama, Hillary. And Epstein's clients, BLM, Antifa, Covid inventers, and 22 million illegal immigrants.
Sure there is. Cops can legally lie
Who said "Absolute" immunity? Are you hearing things? This case is Presidential immunity. That's very far from absolute immunity. Marists must always lie about what's really happening.
Because Trump and his cronies don’t want rule of law
Always enjoy Judge Luttig he’s always on point. He decimated the SCOTUS. I loved it.
"He decimated the SCOTUS" - Yeah, sure, considering: "Whatever scotus decides, it will be the right decision," said he. It wasn't that long ago.

I think there was some reason Luttig didn't get appointed. He was on a short list. No one has asked him about women's rights.
@@CerceifyWhat is his position on women’s rights?
@@mahamedabdi4616 I have no idea. He is very very conservative, maybe a member of the Federalist Society.
@@Cerceifyyou mean people's rights. You are not supposed to assume their gender. Also abortion is not covered under reproductive Rights as abortion is trying to stop reproduction. Also abortion is not a women's only issue because the left says that there are birthing people which leads me back to the original mentioned people's rights
@@Cerceify it's likely because he's a very partisan leftist judge. He obviously doesn't understand that SCOTUS was looking at the long term, not the short term of an individual case. The President has broad powers, along with individual constitutional rights, such as 1st and 14th amendments. Otherwise many other former Presidents would be subject to criminal and civil lawsuits for what they did in office. That would mean both Biden and Obama would be criminally convicted for their crimes.

Thank you, Judge Luttig. One would hope SCOTUS is listening.
SCOTUS is listening. SCOTUS doesn't care.
They are probably listening but s...tting their pants because of their fear.
They are not listening.
AS a french comedian put it before: "Dictartorship is : "shut up"; democracy is :" keep talking".

They know their jobs but they're bought and paid for and have a lifetime appointment. They don't care.
Couldn't have said it better than former Judge Luttig...............
This is insane. You have to wonder, what really is going on!
The Supreme Court could not be more disgraceful.
Our "supreme" court should be thrown in prison with Trump. They are all from the same mold.
Or illegal.
The State lawyer had to admit that the President has immunity for his core responsibilities, despite that fact that the State wants to argue that he doesn’t have any immunity. Listen to Robert’s exchange with the States lawyer.
We are in great need of some impeachments of some SCOTUS justices.
Yes we are.
Congress needs a drm majority for that. both houses.
Judge Luttig, America is lucky to have you. It’s not easy to make things simple. It’s hard not to over simplify. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Judge Luttig tells it like it is.
Thank you Ale, for the wonderful guest, Judge Luttig. The Judge always gives us the "real story".
They're delaying the inevitable for as long as possible, meaning the loss of their careers!
It's uplifting to hear Judge Luttig put this in the starkest terms. I, as I believe most of Americans, was not only dismayed but aghast at the willingness of the "Supreme Court" to entertain these visions of autocracy....listening to the questioning left me in wonder at at the leaps and bounds they were willing to stoop to attempting to shoe horn dictatorship into our legal system.

They have made a mockery of their office. Let's start with the most corrupt, Clarence Thomas. They get to argue laws and make decisions regarding our nation? What a joke.
Agree, but if Democrats win both houses of Congress and the Presidentcy, the conservative Justices might have to face the consequences of accepting bribes from their "friends" in the Federalist Society Republican billionaires. Also, we know that Trump would have made certain to have influence over "his Justices." It only follows that he has documents detailing blackmail worthy issues that were identified when they were vetted. Could they be looking for a way to get Trump into the Whitehouse, whether he wins the 2024 election or not.

Then it will be appealed again.
Money talks, even money obtained by shady means!
Vote straight ticket Blue...time to show this corrupt Scotus just who really holds the power....The People!!
Time for corrupt lawmakers & Scotus to go.
😂😂Supreme Court,shows DEMS who’s in charge!!💯Not the other way around!!🤡Dems are done!!💯🎉
Biden could have packed the court. But he's spineless and didn't.

@@Leslie54272 Stay far away from kids,k🤡!!!! Trump 2024!!💯Enjoy!!🔥💪🎉
@@DerekScottBland Mitch packed the Supreme Court, for Birth Control & this crazy BS, and any other they don't have the Popular Vote for.
He's right. The Supreme Court shouldn't have taken this case. It's ridiculous.
Level the playing field that Moscow Mitch created. Do away with lifetime appointments.
Stack the Supreme Court, appoint an Inspector General, solidify a Conduct code.
Because Leonard Leo wants to stack the court with judges that have little qualifications or experience and will do the bidding if Republican Dark Money
Had to downvote for not understanding how the suggestions given are failures as concepts that make things worse not better (with the possible exception of expanding the Supreme Court, which is still a failure compared to outright removal of some current members instead).
I blame this mess we are in on Mitch. All of it. Every bit of it. Hold Mitch accountable for this. Now
It’s like Justice Alito is afraid of punishing a crime because doing so would make the criminal mad
??? The Supreme Court doesn't "punish crimes"... that's not their job. It's not what they do. It never was.
@@GlennMarshallRocks you don’t think the immunity of Presidents has implications for the punishment of crimes??
Check your confirmation bias. You are so persuaded we don’t know what we’re talking about that you’re seeing ignorance where it doesn’t actually exist.
Nixon excepted a pardon because he knew he could be prosecuted. There is no open question here. This is a sham.
@@GlennMarshallRocksYeah, immunity from criminal prosecution has nothing to do with the punishment of crimes 🤔
He is absolutely right --- I cannot understand why this criminal continues to get passes everywhere he goes.
I don't understand the very question when the Constitution was created to avoid having a king and the creation of three branches with specific duties to balance powers. The question underminds the core principles.
Putin must be falling off his chair laughing. I have been around UK courts for 40 years and the lack of separation of powers between the Executive and Judiciary in the US is palpable. This could never happen in the UK
Truth, although 15 of my 30 were in the Antipodes where politics are equally separate from judicial practice.
They've always been separate, since Trump became President that has changed & the party has made a 360° turn. 😮😂
From Canada: Being around our courts here for 40 years allow me to clearly echo your observations.
I love how "free" you are in the UK and Canada. The courts there never do anything against the better will of the people.
@@drknstodstny4141 Is that sarcasm? If so, I am in the UK and can assure you that justice in the UK is much clearer and fairer than in the USA.
Thank you Judge Luttig for being honest . It should have NEVER gone to the higher court...
And to take so long too! More than 4 months...
