Trump Lawyer Alina Habba Says America Needs To ‘Be More Tolerant’ And ‘Kind’ After Insurrection Case Win

 

Trump attorney Alina Habba said Americans need to “be more tolerant” and “kind” as she agreed with a Trump-nominated justice who scolded liberals on the Supreme Court.

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.

But Justice Amy Coney Barrett used her disagreement as a vehicle to scold Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson for “stridency” and to call for the Court to “turn the national temperature down, not up.”

On Monday night’s edition of Newsmax TV’s The Balance, Newsmax host Eric Bolling interviewed Habba, who effusively praised the decision. She particularly liked what Justice Barrett had to say:

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.
