A former federal judge, J. Michael Luttig, has expressed concern about the state of the Republican Party under Donald Trump and warned that these issues could pose a threat to the nation as a whole. Luttig, who was once praised by conservatives for his conservative legal opinions, testified last year to the Jan. 6 committee, stating that the former president posed a “clear and present danger” to the country’s democracy. Speaking on CNN, Luttig emphasized that this danger is even more evident today as Trump continues to make false claims about the 2020 election and is supported by Republican officials in doing so. He believes that these false claims have not only corrupted American democracy and elections but have also eroded the trust and perception of the American people in their own system. Additionally, Luttig argued that these claims have deeply divided and damaged the Republican Party to the extent that there is no longer a united party with shared beliefs, values, principles, or even policy views. He stressed that the functioning of American democracy relies on the presence of two equally healthy and strong political parties, and the absence of this in the current situation puts the nation’s democracy in serious jeopardy. Luttig is now serving as co-chair of the American Bar Association’s Task Force for American Democracy, which aims to promote a nonpartisan approach to election administration and educate the public on the importance of an inclusive and robust democracy.
