From Immigration rulings against this administration. To rulings against executive orders on voting. To the 135 Federal Judges that got the slush fund and IRS case reopened in Florida. To the 110 Judges that filed a bar complaint against Blanch. To all of the anti-voting lawsuits that are still pending in courts across the country. To the DC appeals court ordering a En Banc hearing on Judge Boasberg's contempt proceedings against Blanch, Noem, and Bove. To Democracy Docket's and Mark Elias' defending our voting rights against the DOJ's attempt to seize voter roles from the States, as well as his defense of mail in voting across the country and at the Supreme Court.
Leading the charge is retired Judge Michael Luttig, He is fearless and is fighting for our democracy and the rule of law.

(1,315 posts)on how over 300 former Federal and State Judges have come together to try to save our Republic, our Constitution, and the rule of law. They are filing motions and amicus briefs in Federal Courts across the country in order to give Justices strength and backup to stand up to this lawless administration. It is unprecedented. It has never happened or been necessary in 250 years. We do have people, that have the power, to help save our country.
Why this post isn't getting the attention it deserves baffles me.

(5,138 posts)Congress wont do its job. The Supreme Court wont do its job. This Judge Luttig points out what they all should be doing and acknowledges that theyre not. Were truly on our own because theres nothing to stop what this regime is doing. Lower courts stopping things doesnt mean anything if the Supremes will overturn it or the regime ignores it. Theres no one to stop them except the People.
And I really dont think Americans are up to the task. A third are full bore behind a dictatorship, they actively want it. Another third doesnt give a shit at all, they dont know and they dont want to know. And most of the other third understands but are too afraid to do what has to be done.
We know theres only one way to get rid of fascists, history has proved it. But its ugly, its bloody and its hard, really hard. I just dont see millions of people willing to fight and die for their freedom.
But thats what its going to take. This isnt something thats going to solve itself with an election or two.
Most people arent willing to face this fact.
