Judge Luttig: Trump's war the judiciary could see 'catastrophic end' - Velshi - MSNBC



The Trump administration’s war on the rule of law is most evident in its relentless attacks on American judges who rule against the former president’s policies. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently escalated that rhetoric, calling these judges “deranged”—a remark that former federal judge J. Michael Luttig found especially alarming.

“The judges are not deranged, Pam Bondi. They are simply enforcing their oath to the Constitution of the United States—the same oath that you, Madam Attorney General, took yourself.” In this timely and urgent interview, the former federal judge warns, “I don’t know where this ends... but it appears that, in this moment, Trump intends to prosecute this war against the federal judiciary–and the rule of law– to its catastrophic end.” - 05/25/2025.
