Trump attorney Alina Habba echoed a sentiment that many Americans can benefit from: the need to be more tolerant and kind. In agreement with a Trump-nominated justice, Habba highlighted the importance of these values, particularly when it comes to political differences. This reminder serves as a call to action for individuals to foster understanding and empathy, even in the midst of disagreements.
In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court granted Trump a victory on Monday in the case of Trump v. Anderson. The ruling overturned the Colorado Supreme Court’s surprising decision to bar Trump from the ballot. The Colorado court argued that Trump’s involvement in the January 6 insurrection violated the 14th Amendment.
The decision was unanimous, but there were differing opinions among the justices. Four justices held a dissenting view, arguing that the majority opinion went too far in stating that Congress must pass legislation to enforce the anti-insurrection clause.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett took the opportunity to reprimand Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson for their “stridency” in the case. She urged the Court to “turn the national temperature down, not up.”
During Monday night’s episode of Newsmax TV’s “The Balance,” host Eric Bolling had the opportunity to interview Habba, who expressed her enthusiastic support for the decision. Habba was particularly impressed with Justice Barrett’s statement, praising her words.
ALINA HABBA: 100%. I think we’ve seen all hell breaks loose. I think that’s the best way to describe it. We’ve been watching all hell breaks loose in America, and the Supreme Court made a great decision today.
And I love some of the commentary in there. If you have time to read it, read it because it discusses one of the things that I truly believe. This is anti-American.
We need to turn down the temperature as a country. We need to start being more tolerant. We need to start being kind, and we need to believe in the system of law and order that embraces our Constitution and embraces our Republic.
We are not a third world country. And today gave, hopefully, the American people, definitely me, renewed hope that our future will be bright and we will be allowed to go vote for who you want to vote for. Whoever that is. Republican, Democrat. It shouldn’t matter.
But most certainly a state should not be able to make that decision for you, no matter who the candidate is. And President Trump spoke eloquently about that today.
