Brett Kavanaugh, the US supreme court justice, will “step up” for Donald Trump and help defeat attempts to remove the former president from the ballots in Colorado and Maine for inciting an insurrection, a Trump lawyer said.
“I think it should be a slam dunk in the supreme court,” Alina Habba told Fox News on Thursday night. “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. Not because they’re pro-Trump but because they’re pro-law, because they’re pro-fairness. And the law on this is very clear.”
I understand why he lied. It’s embarrassing, but he was under oath. He swore to God and Country, under penalty of perjury, in front of Congress and the American people, in order to be considered for a position as a Supreme Court Justice, that he wasn’t lying. And then he lied.
And everyone knew he was lying. That’s what gets me. He committed perjury on camera and nobody called him on it. Everyone just shrugged and moved on, like it didn’t matter. Because it didn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter if the justices are the best, most trustworthy, most honest, most qualified for the job. That’s not what matters. What matters is that he will do what he is told, will rule on the cases in a predictable way, and that he will live a very long life. That’s why he’s sitting on the highest court in the country. Because he’s a stooge. He’ll lie when it’s convenient, he’ll hide the truth when it’s politically expedient, he’ll stretch credibility to get what he wants, and he’ll do it for the people paying him, too.
The court is a fraud, and there is no justice.
