Alina Habba said she expects Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to ‘step up’ for Trump after the ‘hell’ the former president went through to ‘place’ Kavanaugh
Rep. Jamie Raskin, R-MD., lashed out at Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba for thinking like a “New York mobster” after she appeared to pressure Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to “stand up” for Trump because the former president nominated him for the job.
“This is the way that New York mobsters think about judges: ‘Yeah, we own that one. We own that one. Get in that court — that guy’s in our pocket,’” Raskin said Friday night on MSNBC’s “The Last Word.”
For "fascists and authoritarian parties and movements, the law is really not what you know — it’s who you know. It’s always better for them to know the judge than to know the law. To know the law here is to understand that Donald Trump is disqualified,” said Raskin.
The Justices are some of the most cocooned people in the country, by design. I hesitate to say what they’re aware of a damn thing other than where the next ladle full of billionaire slop is about to land in their trough.
