Former President Donald Trump’s attorney said Thursday that her team believes that the U.S. Supreme Court and especially Justice Brett Kavanaugh will “step up” in rejecting various decisions that barred the former president from appearing on the ballot in Maine and Colorado.

Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, lawyer Alina Habba said that appeals to the high court of decisions that ruled President Trump cannot appear on the ballots under a reading of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment will likely succeed. She said that their cases will likely prevail because the justices are “pro-law ... because they’re pro-fairness.”
