It seems that Alina Habba is confident that Justice Kavanaugh and the other justices on the Supreme Court will rule in favor of restoring Trump to the Colorado ballot. She argues that their decision will be based on upholding the law rather than any personal bias towards Trump. However, as you mentioned, Trump’s appointees to the court, including Kavanaugh, don’t always side with his positions. This suggests that the outcome of this case may not be as certain as Habba claims.
The argument made by Trump’s lawyers that the Colorado judges are denying him due process is interesting. They claim that the judges are making a decision about his participation in an insurrection without having considered both of the necessary factors. If the Supreme Court were to agree with this argument, it could have significant implications for future elections and how candidates are evaluated.
It’s also worth noting that the Trump White House’s decision to stand by Kavanaugh despite the allegations against him shows that they value his legal expertise and experience over any potential political fallout. This decision may have had consequences beyond the confirmation process, affecting the dynamics of the Supreme Court and the cases it hears.
Overall, this case has the potential to be one of the most important election-related cases in recent history. Whether or not it will end up being a “slam dunk” for Trump remains to be seen, but the stakes are certainly high.
