"Kavanaugh's Alleged Loyalty to Trump Sparks Controversy Amid Ballot Case Discussions"

Donald Trump's attorney, Alina Habba, expressed confidence in Justice Brett Kavanaugh as the Supreme Court considers Trump's appeal against a Colorado court decision that removed him from the state's Republican primary ballot. The Colorado court ruled that Trump was disqualified from holding public office under the U.S. Constitution's insurrection clause, citing his actions around the January 6 Capitol riot. Habba believes Kavanaugh will "step up" in favor of Trump, emphasizing the justices' commitment to law and fairness rather than political bias. The case has significant implications for the 2024 election and is one of the most critical election-related cases since Bush v. Gore.
