Conservative former federal judge J. Michael Luttig denied allegations that the Colorado Supreme Court\u2019s ruling disqualifying former president Donald Trump from the state\u2019s presidential primary ballot was a political choice.<\/p>\n
The Colorado court\u2019s decision made history as for the first time a court has ruled that the former president disqualified himself from the ballot for second term after attempting to overturn the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, in an interview with MSNBS, host Ali Velshi questioned the former judge regarding the concerns that disqualifying the 2024 Republican frontrunner is anti-democratic, even if it complies with the laws of U.S.<\/p>\n
Luttig criticized the media outlets and politicians for taking up the argument as he explained that it is the constitution itself which says that that disqualification is not anti-democratic. He added that it is rather the conduct that can give rise to disqualification.<\/p>\n
\u201cNamely, an insurrection or rebellion that is anti-democratic. To me, that\u2019s about as clear as any document or Constitution could make that point,\u201d Luttig said.<\/p>\n
