"Controversy Erupts Over Trump Lawyer's Claims About Kavanaugh's Loyalty in Ballot Cases"

Trump's attorney, Alina Habba, faced criticism for suggesting that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh should "step up" and rule in favor of Trump because the former president had supported his appointment. Legal experts condemned her remarks as unprofessional and contrary to the principles of judicial independence. The controversy arose as Trump sought to have the U.S. Supreme Court overturn a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that barred him from the presidential primary ballot under the Constitution's "insurrectionist" clause.
