"We need the Supreme Court to step in and stop this," she fumed. "This has become complete mayhem. And if they don't start looking at these decisions and - as the highest court in this country, as the arbiter of law, the ultimate arbiter of the Constitution, the people that are supposed to enforce our bedrock - if they don't start doing it, which ... thank goodness, they are, hopefully we'll have some law and order soon."
To be fair to Habba, she did start the interview by claiming that the government was seeking to expedite the case and get immediate SCOTUS review solely as a response to Trump's good polling numbers - not because her client just filed an appeal grounded in the doctrine of presidential immunity, and then turned around and said all deadlines in the DC election interference case must be stayed indefinitely. And perhaps presidential immunity is a touchy topic for Habba, since yesterday the Second Circuit ruled that her failure to raise it for three straight years in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case had waived the issue. Whoopsie!
