Trump is nervous the Supreme Court will rule against him in voting cases, says Alina Habba: Ex-president's lawyer claims judges won't appear 'pro-Trump' as lawyers appeal Colorado decision

Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba says Donald Trump is concerned that the Supreme Court could rule against him in cases that would keep him from voting in the state due to outside pressure.

The president's attorney in Bedminster, New Jersey, told Fox News that conservatives are “getting nervous” and wary of being seen as “pro-Trump” — even on a Supreme Court where Trump has served three of his terms in his one term installed nine members.

She spoke after host Martha McCallum asked whether Trump was concerned the court would rule against him despite his role in establishing a conservative supermajority, shortly before Trump's legal team filed an appeal to the Supreme Court seeking a ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court to overturn. of the vote there, citing the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause.

“That's a concern he's raised with me, he's raised with everyone publicly, not privately. “I can tell you his concerns are valid,” she said said Wednesday.

“You know, the Republicans are conservative. They get nervous. Unfortunately, sometimes they shy away from being pro-Trump because they feel like even if the law is on our side, it seems like they're being swayed, just like the Democratic side would be, right?”

“So they try to appear neutral and sometimes make the wrong decision. I just encourage them to look at the law and the Constitution.”

She said there should be “no politics” in the decision, it is “just plain American,” she added.

She was asked about New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman's comment on CNN that Trump and his advisers think he will prevail, but that Trump'is concerned that they will give the impression that they do not want to rule in his favor, but may want to rule against him.”

That came even as some Trump critics expressed concern that the rulings in Colorado and Maine could win sympathy for Trump while denying voters the chance to decide his fate.

Habba's latest comments came as Trump's lawyers wrote in their appeal that the Colorado ruling, “if it stands, will mark the first time in the history of the United States that the judiciary has prevented voters from casting their ballots.” bring to the major party's most important presidential elections. candidate.'

They write that the question of eligibility “is properly reserved for Congress, and not for the state courts, to consider and decide.”

It was not an “insurrection” and President Trump was not “involved” in “insurrection” in any way, they wrote.

Habba stood by Trump's side during his separate fraud trial in New York. She was also pictured partying with him at Mar-a-Lago on New Year's Eve, including that in one photo criticized X because what was on the posters was a gross attempt at photoshopping by the former president.
