Judge Luttig Issues DIRE WARNING to Supreme Court over Trump Immunity

In a special Legal AF no holds barred exclusive interview, conservative constitutional scholar former appellate Judge J Michael Luttig joins Michael Popok again to explain why he is so disheartened with the Supreme Court oral argument on whether Trump should be granted immunity from criminal prosecution, and why it could lead to it “cutting the heart out of” and “unsouling” of our constitutional democracy.

Since SCOOTUS sold us out, I hope they figure out that their crooked decision has handed Biden unlimited power to take even their jobs and imprison them if he wants to,but especially theeir buddy Trump. Who is going to stop Biden, if the Supreme Court's Republican partisan hacks refused to do their honest duty ? Not me, so go for it Joe, they say you can't be prosecuted !!
