“These are the times in America that try men’s souls.” Fmr. U.S. Court of Appeals Judge J. Michael Luttig describes the test our country is facing and the hope he has as he says Donald Trump is attempting to force upon us a form of government and country that our Founders rejected 250 years ago.
"the time of America's testing has finally come after 250 years. It's almost prophetic that the time of testing has come today. But today, as we all know, our government is actually attempting to force upon us, we, the people, a form of government and a country of the very kind that our forefathers and founders rejected 250 years ago. So as we celebrate our founding today, once again, these are the times in America that try men's souls. And Americans must decide today, this year, what America they want and what America they do not want for the next 250 years. The President of the United States could not have presented the choice any more starkly than he has, but it's the decision of the American people that will prevail. Now to your question of late, but only as of late, I have seen hope in the American people that they are beginning to rise up and reject this government and this president and all that he and it represent. The American people, I believe, have finally come to their senses in a way and understood what vision of America this president and our current government has. And Americans don't want that, and neither do we here on this show today. If we have the courage in our breasts and the hope in our hearts that our founders had 250 years ago, when they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to create this country, then we will long endure."
