These judges give me hope.

Here is a bit more:

5/ One name is on all three briefs: J. Michael Luttig. A conservative legal giant, appointed by George H.W. Bush, once considered for the Supreme Court. This is not partisan. This is people who love the law defending it from people who would break it.

6/ Think about what this means. These judges are retired. No salary, no robe, no power to gain. They could stay comfortable and quiet. Instead they’re signing their names, putting decades of reputation on the line, because the rule of law is worth fighting for.

7/ And courts listen. When people who spent their careers on the bench tell a judge “you were deceived, look again,” that carries weight no press release ever will. They’re fighting inside the system, with the system’s own tools, and it’s working.
