Brett Kavanaugh, the US supreme court justice, will “step up” for Donald Trump and help defeat attempts to remove the former president from the ballots in Colorado and Maine for inciting an insurrection, a Trump lawyer said.

“I think it should be a slam dunk in the supreme court,” Alina Habba told Fox News on Thursday night. “I have faith in them.

“You know, people like Kavanaugh, who the president fought for, who the president went through hell to get into place, he’ll step up. Those people will step up. Not because they’re pro-Trump but because they’re pro-law, because they’re pro-fairness. And the law on this is very clear.”

      It sounds like a blatant admission of corruption. Trump’s lawyer just admitted that he expects a quid-pro-quo from Kavanaugh.

      Yeah, that was them talking to Kavenaugh because they’re not actually that confident with him.

      Know which justice Kavenaugh disagreed with more than any other last term?

      Thomas.
