In a video message, he also endorsed Trump.
DeSantis had been seen as the most viable Trump alternative after cruising to reelection as Florida governor during last year’s midterm elections. His victory was in sharp contrast to how other Republicans performed around the country, including many who had been endorsed by Trump.

Brave Sir Ron Da ran away.
Bravely ran away away.
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Ron Da turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Ron Da!
With apologies to Monty Python.

Trump Compares Himself to a Rogue Cop and a Pedophile Priest in Rant Demanding Immunity for Crimes (msn.com)
Donald Trump, speaking in Rochester, New Hampshire, compared himself to rogue cops and pedophiles in the church, telling the crowd that he, as well as all of these groups, need immunity to commit crimes or they will be unable to function properly.
Jesus Fucking Christ
Given what we know of his relationship with Ivanka, I do not find it at all surprising that T****y thinks a comparison of himself with child rapists is a good one.

Trump threatens Nikki Haley with “investigation” if she doesn’t quit.
He threatens SCOTUS with “chaos and mayhem” if they don’t protect him
His thugs threatened Pence with hanging
They threaten judges with murder and bombs

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Quote:Retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday arguing that former President Trump is disqualified to run for public office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Luttig, a longtime conservative jurist on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, argued the Supreme Court justices, when they hear arguments next month in the case involving the Colorado Supreme Court decision to bar Trump from the ballot, should take a “textualist” approach to interpreting the constitution.
“The ‘textualist’s touchstone’ is to give every constitutional provision its ‘fair meaning,’” Luttig wrote. “A narrow construction to promote judicial restraint is just as bad as an ‘unreasonably … enlarged’ construction. Scalia and Garner approvingly quote Justice Story that it is forbidden to narrowly construe a constitutional provision ‘as if it were subversive of the great interests of society, or derogated from the inherent sovereignty of the people.’”
“Every provision of the Constitution is part of ‘the supreme Law of the Land,’” he continued, “not the inferior law of the land.”
The friend-of-the-court brief, which included other prominent names such as conservative lawyer George Conway, sought to refute several key arguments from Trump and his allies. Luttig has been among the most high-profile promoters of the case to bar Trump under the 14th amendment, as Colorado and Maine have moved to do.

J. Michael Luttig's interview with PBS Frontline was inspiring.

Judge Luttig's amicus brief can be read in full here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/...mici-brief
Note that in the second sentence of the introduction he writes that if SCOTUS were to create an "off-ramp" to avoid adjudicating the issue it would be a violation of law and oath.
