Former President Donald Trump’s attorney spokeswoman predicted on Wednesday, following a ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court to remove him from the 2024 ballot, it will be quickly overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
“I find it ironic that there’s a January 6 charge pending, but due process doesn’t matter because Colorado’s liberal judges want to take him off the ballot because they can’t beat Biden in the ballots,” attorney Alina Habba told “Breitbart News Daily” on SiriusXM, explaining that it is “not a constitutional decision” and “it will be overturned by the Supreme Court.”
The Colorado court removed Trump under the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection” ban, though he has never been charged with that crime, much less convicted of it. The verdict was 4–3.
The decision will remain on hold until January 4th, when an appeal is considered. The nation hopes that the US Supreme Court will hear the case and reach a final decision by then, CNN reported.
Trump lost Colorado to Joe Biden by around 9 points, but if that state’s decision is allowed to stand, it’s likely to be repeated by other states, including some battlegrounds where presidential races are routinely decided.
In her Breitbart interview, Habba added that there is “no question in my mind” that the U.S. Supreme Court will overturn the Colorado ruling.
She added that, to her thinking, it is another case of judges attempting to make a name for themselves while viewing themselves as “pioneers for the liberal radical left.”
“You’re not a pioneer. You’re going to look ridiculous. You do not understand due process. You do not understand the Constitution. You are a state-level court that is going to look ridiculous, okay? When the Supreme Court—whether you’re a federal judge or a state judge—overturns you, that’s not a good look,” Habba said.
“And there is no question in my mind. Due process exists for a reason. There has to be some America left,” she continued, opining that she believed the ruling was absolutely “ridiculous.”
“I’m not even concerned that the Supreme Court will make the right decision here,” Habba continued, saying that every left-wing legal determination and lawsuit “flies in the face of any kind of rational, legal mind.”
“It’s ridiculous, and it’s so desperate. It’s just so desperate,” she continued, saying that every seemingly politicized ruling against Trump only drives more voters to him, especially Independents who see him being politically persecuted.
“We don’t even have the option in Colorado to vote for who we want. The leading candidate, we don’t even have the option because they’re so afraid,” she said, blasting the “anti-American, self-interested behavior that they will go as far as to take away your option to vote for President Trump.”
