"Luttig played a now famous role in persuading then-Vice President Mike Pence to defy Trump and certify the 2020 presidential election.

In a series of tweets drafted at the request of Pence's attorney, Luttig spelled out in stark terms the legal rationale for Pence to reject the former president's attempt to overturn Joe Biden's victory.

.

Since then, Luttig has emerged as a preeminent constitutional critic of Trump. In endorsing Harris, Luttig argues that partisan distinctions must, in this election, be set aside in order to prevent the "singularly unfit" Trump from returning to the White House.

"In voting for Vice President Harris, I assume that her public policy views are vastly different from my own," Luttig writes, "but I am indifferent in this election as to her policy views on any issues other than America's Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law, as I believe all Americans should be."

I tip my hat to you, judge. I don't expect everyone to always agree on politics, but as the judge said, we have someone who is singularly unfit and dangerous running on the Republican ticket. If there were somebody that unfit on the Democratic ticket, I wouldn't vote for them either.

Too badhe isn't sitting on the Supreme Court instead of several partisan corrupt bastards who openly accept bribes and lie under oath when testifying before the Senate confirmation hearings.

You can't be an actual conservative Republican and endorse Harris. Words have meaning. You can dislike Trump, decide on a third party candidate or to not vote at all but you literally can't endorse someone who runs counter to every position you allegedly hold

The point is to reject the toxic anti-democratic criminal that Trump is. Your candidate is bad news for the country - worse than any of the usual political considerations. Sometimes you have to see the forest for the trees. You can worry about partisan politics later.

Republicans, remember: You asked for this. Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one Clinton-supporting con artist and game-show host, you chose the con artist. You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it.

Yes, you can, if you are persuaded that the party you routinely support has nominated an authoritarian criminal sex-abusing fraudster as the GOP has done with Trump.
