Trump Lawyer Alina Habba Rips Dems Trying To Pass Anti-Insurrectionist Law — After Praising SCOTUS Order That Said Do That

 

Trump attorney Alina Habba lashed out at Democrats trying to pass an anti-insurrectionist ballot law just seconds after praising a Supreme Court decision that instructed Congress to do just that.

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled in Trump’s favor in Trump v. Anderson in a 9-0 decision that overturned the Colorado Supreme Court’s bombshell ruling banning Trump from the ballot on the grounds that he violated the 14th Amendment by engaging in insurrection on January 6.

While the decision was unanimous, the opinions were not — four justices disagreed with the majority opinion, which they thought went too far in deciding that Congress must enact legislation to enforce the anti-insurrection clause.

On Monday night’s edition of Newsmax TV’s The Balance, Newsmax host Eric Bolling interviewed Habba, who effusively praised the decision.

But Habba lashed out at a clip of Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) telling CNN’s Dana Bash that he intends to do what the court’s conservative majority prescribed — pass a law that would put in place a process to decide if someone is disqualified due to the insurrection clause:

ERIC BOLLING: Yeah. And he did. He came out and he said, yeah, he was right too, because if you let the state. You can imagine what Texas would do or Florida would do or Oklahoma would. It would just be and it would be insane. Listen, though, you know, you want to have confidence. You want to have faith in the system. And then you have a congressman who, by the way, was part of the impeach Trump when Trump was president. This guy is not willing to give up. Take the loss. Go home and start over. Jamie Raskin, listen.

REP. JAMIE RASKIN: I am working with a number of my colleagues, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Eric Swalwell, to revive legislation that we had to set up, a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by section three of the 14th amendment, and the House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in insurrection by inciting it. So the House has already pronounced upon that.

ERIC BOLLING: So Jamie Raskin is basically saying, well, we’ll take it up in, in, in Congress. I mean, one isn’t that enou–. When did they not learn the lesson, Alina?

ALINA HABBA: In 2024 in November 2024, I believe. I think that this divisiveness, this continuous double, triple down is what is hurting the Democratic Party, to be honest. I think that the American public sees it for what it is.

The fact that he just went on TV and said he was going to be with Debbie Wasserman Schultz, as his ally, says it all. I think that we really need to, embrace today to try and remember who we are as a country, to ignore the noise that is people like that going on with Dana.

And, I truly can say that I just don’t pay much mind to it anymore. Today was a good day for this country and for the Constitution. And it does not matter what your politics are. Everybody should embrace that.

Because if we have a Republican president or a Democratic president, it shouldn’t matter. Nobody should be dealing with the ordeal that President Trump has dealt with. The political and legal war, lawfare, frankly, that they’ve done to him has been unfair. It’s un-American. And today was a really big step in the right direction.

So I commend the Supreme Court. I ask that people like him take a step back and remember the America we grew up in, because it was not like this. And his divisiveness is exactly, frankly, the problem that we have in this country. And it’s permeating to our children. And as a mom of young children, I think it needs to end. And, hopefully we can all follow the lead of the Supreme Court.

ERIC BOLLING: Yeah, it won’t go anywhere in the House anyway.
