BREAKING: Judge J. Michael Luttig declares lower federal courts are now America's last line of defense – "The only people who can save America!"
Appearing on MediasTouch, former federal judge J. Michael Luttig delivered a stark warning: for the past five years, every single lower federal court judge has faithfully honored their oath to the Constitution by striking down nearly every major initiative from President Trump as unconstitutional.
"Today, the only people who can save America are the lower federal court judges of the United States of America,” Luttig said. “And they are determined to do so simply by honoring their oath in every one of these cases, now of which there are hundreds."
He described the current crisis as little short of tragic: "Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth or takes an action, the American people are forced to go into court and litigate it. That's the tragic place that America finds itself in today."
Luttig warned that the only remaining obstacle to full authoritarian overreach is the U.S. Supreme Court, which he suggested is currently blocking the American people from saving their democracy.
This comes as Trump's administration faces hundreds of lawsuits challenging everything from his Iran war to election power grabs, DOJ overreach, and unconstitutional executive orders.
Lower courts have repeatedly blocked or struck down his actions, while the Supreme Court remains the final backstop. Luttig's words reflect growing alarm that the judiciary – especially the lower federal bench –is now the primary institution holding the line against executive overreach.
If you, too, believe that lower federal judges are America's last hope against Trump's power grabs, like and share to spread the message.
