Former federal judge J. Michael Luttig criticized the Supreme Court's unanimous decision to disqualify former President Trump, calling it a 'dangerously betrayed' democracy. The decision, which was a rare 9-0 ruling, overruled Colorado's decision, indicating a consensus among both conservative and liberal justices. Critics of Luttig, including those who noted his previous rejection by George W. Bush for a Supreme Court seat due to being 'too arrogant', argue that his attack on the Court 'lacks the humility' and undermines the rule of law and democracy. Others defend the decision as a sign that the judicial system and democracy remain 'strong'. Luttig's career also included a significant tenure as general counsel at Boeing from 2006 to 2019, during which he shifted from a conservative federal judge to promoting leftist theories.
It seems notable that much of this happened at Boeing while @judgeluttig was general counsel there. (He held the position 2006-2019.) Luttig is the one-time stalwart conservative federal judge who now peddles the most deranged leftist/TDS theories imaginable. Strange, isn't it? https://t.co/yFFNIrI79x

Luttig is wrong. A 9-0 decision to overrule Colorado’s decision, with conservatives and liberals agreeing on that point, is a sign that our judicial system and democracy remain strong. Attacking the unanimous Court undermines the rule of law. https://t.co/bO8xJiWx5x
George W. Bush rejected Michael Luttig for the Supreme Court, in part, because he thought Luttig was too arrogant. Fast forward all these years and Luttig is on the receiving end of a 9-0 SCOTUS decision and lacks the humility to take the loss. https://t.co/zEJW3hwNCD
