Conservative ex-judge warns Americans face 'stark' choice in the age of Trump
A conservative former judge warned Americans that they're facing a stark and important choice right now.In a July 4 appearance on MS NOW, ex-judge Michael Luttig said Trump is forcing Americans to decide what kind of country they want for the next 250 years. Trump "could not have presented the choice any more starkly," Luttig added."As we celebrate our founding today once again, these are the times in America that try men's souls, and Americans must decide today, this year, what America they want," Luttig said, evoking a quote by Thomas Paine. "What America they want and what America they do not want for the next 250 years."While Luttig stressed how critical the decision is, he struck an optimistic tone about the path that Americans seem to be choosing. He noted, "Only as of late, I have seen hope in the American people that they are beginning to rise up and reject this government and this president and all that he and it represent."Luttig cautioned that Trump fits the description of the kind of monarch that the founding Americans rejected through the 27 grievances in the Declaration of Independence. According to Luttig, "The American people, I believe, have finally come to their senses in a way and understood what vision of America this president and the current government has, and Americans don't want that."He added that no matter what Americans choose, "it's the decision of the American people that will prevail," and "If we have the courage in our breasts and the hope in our hearts that our founders had 250 years ago, when they pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to create this country, we will long endure."
