My Take
J. Michael Luttig commands my respect as a jurist who put principle above position. A Texan from Tyler, he spent fifteen years on the Fourth Circuit before stepping away to serve as Boeing's general counsel, a rare move from the bench to corporate leadership. What strikes me most is the combination: a deeply conservative legal mind willing to stand firm on constitutional ground when it mattered, regardless of which side it pleased. I admire people who can choose conviction over convenience. Luttig reads to me as a scholar with backbone, the kind of lawyer whose seriousness still carries weight in public debate.
