The ContextJ. Michael Luttig: We Haven’t Learned Anything from January 6th—Yet.J. Michael Luttig was one of the earliest, and most prominent, conservative voices to publicly condemn the effort to overturn the 2020 election. A few days before the Capitol insurrection, he advised Mike Pence that the Vice President has no constitutional authority to overturn a presidential election.

Then and now, Judge Luttig has acted in defense of the Constitution, the rule of law, and American democracy.
