Special: Is Trump Innocent or Guilty?
News Alert
J. Michael Luttig, a retired conservative judge, submitted a legal brief to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that Donald Trump is ineligible for future public office under the 14th Amendment due to his involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Luttig, known for his textualist approach to constitutional interpretation, alongside other notable conservatives like George Conway, refutes arguments supporting Trump's eligibility, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the Constitution's principles. Drawing parallels between the Capitol insurrection and historical events like the Civil War, Luttig dismisses claims that the 14th Amendment is outdated or irrelevant.
He also counters the notion that barring Trump from ballots is anti-democratic, highlighting other constitutional restrictions on candidacy. This stance aligns with efforts in several states, led by voter initiatives, to prevent Trump from appearing on the 2024 ballots due to the insurrection clause. The Supreme Court's pending review of this issue comes as Trump, despite facing multiple indictments, continues to be a significant figure in the GOP presidential primary.
