Trump Lawyer Slammed For Saying The Quiet Part 'Out Loud' On Supreme Court Hopes
HuffPost
Alina Habba cited her "faith" in the court after decisions that kicked the former president off state primary ballots in 2024.
Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba discussed her hopes on Thursday that the conservative-majority Supreme Court will rule in the former president’s favor after recent decisions that booted him from state GOP primary ballots this year, suggesting that a justice who Trump “fought for” might “step up.”
“I think it should be a slam dunk in the Supreme Court. I have faith in them,” Habba told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
The remarks from Habba, who brought up Trump’s concerns with the court in an interview just a day before, arrive after the former president asked SCOTUS to overturn a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that kicked him off the state’s primary ballot last month.
The Colorado court ruled that Trump was ineligible to run for the presidency again, citing the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause over his actions that led up to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack.
Trump, earlier this week, also appealed a similar ruling from Maine’s secretary of state that removed the former president from the state’s 2024 GOP primary ballot, as well.
