47. Judge Luttig's point in my understanding after listening to him on many occasions

Sat Mar 30, 2024, 11:51 AM

and reading his articles, is that turdumpkin and his minions have done in a few short years what the rethugs have been trying to do for over 70 years.

The last 7 years of complete lawlessness by the orange thing and the obvious avoidance of any justice for it's criminals acts, coupled with it's daily diatribes' that the judicial system is rigged and corrupt, have almost completely and singlehandedly dismantled the trust in the judicial system.

I agree that it was waning, but turdumpkin and the rethugs sped it up with judicial placements, manipulation of the SC and the Shadow Gov of turdumpkin.

This one orange thing has given the rethugs the voice they lacked. The orange thing has made them visible.
