“There Is No Republican Party” (recorded live with Judge Luttig at the Texas Tribune Festival)

Harry sits down with Judge J. Michael Luttig, a leading conservative jurist and fierce critic of Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and the Supreme Court. Judge Luttig explains why Trump is the very menace to the Constitution that the Framers feared, and excoriates Republicans in Congress for enabling his authoritarian ambitions. The two move on to 3 pro-Trump Supreme Court decisions that Luttig disparages, singling out for special reproach the Court’s immunity decision, which Judge Luttig characterizes as an "abomination". It’s a hard-hitting, essential discussion with one of Trump’s most formidable conservative critics.

A scholarly eloquent reminder of why any Republican or follower of the Constitution should never vote for Trump.

[@79EBHS]

Cheney went from the prince of darkness, to a democrat savior. Careful who you let into your house.

[@patriziacasagrande3833]

ypu mean should of never voted for trump. they did and vtheey will again. .

[@beckykosher1128]

Your grammar is atrocious!! Is English your 1st language?? "...should of never..." is so bad😮 Using correct English grammar, it would correctly be, "should have never" 😊 You need to read your msg before you send it to check to see what autocorrect may have changed since you have many words misspelled badly! You'll get your point across much better if others can read & understand what you're trying to say. Have a great evening & Sunday 🤍

[@Bigfield47]

Thanks Harry. Thank you Judge Luttig.

[@anneguetschow3932]

GEORGE W BUSH DID THIS COUNTRY SO MUCH DISSERVICE. Looking at Chief Justice Roberts.

[@Sagey_p]

which i think why he is keeping a low profile, and not endorsing Harris. Better for him in retirement, to stay away from all the politics.

[@79EBHS]

You are 100% correct! The swing vote for the Obama Care "penalty" to be considered a tax, shredding the Constitution.

[@Eriugena8]

is Roberts that old? maybe there is hope.

Judge Luttig’s dry sense of humor can stand alone without being propped up by an overuse of canned laughter. Harry’s production team didn’t quite get that.

Judge Luttig saved the Republic.

No, he didn't--he was overturned by the Supreme Court, which allowed that tRump could run again. His opinion, that tRump is an insurrectionist, a seditionist who could not run again, should have held true.

[@susanzemke6569]

It was always my understanding that we had a citizen president who returned to the ranks of average citizens upon leaving office. It seems the courts are treating citizen (and criminal) trump like a king.

[@michaelstiller2282]

Because the corruption goes that deep. Trump's actions are not lone wolf. It's already known the SC is on the take, when deciding cases. So that 2 of the 3 federal branches. Senators accepting gold in hiding them in their closet. That's 3 branches. Take those statistical proportions and drive that to the states and local. If the highest power goes to jail. Many more will follow.
