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.”

    Kavenaugh was appointed by Trump, and the Trump WH protected him from an FBI investigation after the whopping 4k+ tips started rolling in.

    He probably shouldnt be part of this ruling… him, the other Trump appointed peeps, and Thomas (who really should just resign,)

      He also committed perjury when he lied about squirting beer up his ass. That’s an objective fact about a sitting Supreme Court Justice. Brettt Kavanaugh committed perjury when he lied about squirting beer up his ass.

      He also probably sexually assaulted a woman, but we don’t know that with absolute certainty. We do know with absolute certainty that he squirted beer up his ass and then lied about it under oath in front of Congress while being interviewed for the job as the highest arbiter of law.

        What we do know is Brock Allen Turner raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, was only sentenced to 6 months in prison, and was released after 3 fro good behavior. This is a huge case of white, moneyed privilege. Brock Allen Turner is a rapist and should never be allowed to hold a job in the United States.
