Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba caused an uproar with her appearance Thursday on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show in which she seemingly suggested that Justice Brett Kavanaugh owes it to the former president who appointed him to the Supreme Court to “step up” and overturn Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to boot Trump from the ballot under the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Habba, appearing in the capacity of Trump’s “legal spokeswoman,” was asked for her take on how the U.S. Supreme Court might rule on an issue that’s been litigated in states across the country as the quadruply indicted former president pursues reelection.
…
“I think it should be a slam dunk in the Supreme Court. I have faith in them. You know, people like Kavanaugh, who the president fought for, who the president went through hell to get into place, he’ll step up, those people will step up,” Habba said, before appearing to catch herself. “Not because they are pro-Trump, but because they are pro-law, because they are pro-fairness, and the law on this is very clear.”
She’s claiming he can’t be an insurrectionist because he hasn’t been charged or convicted of being one.
Right, which is a perfect example of taking something that is clear as day, and then intentionally muddying it up.
