"Trump Lawyer's Remark on Kavanaugh's Loyalty Sparks Outrage Amid Ballot Case"
TL;DR
CNN host Phil Mattingly expressed shock over comments made by Alina Habba, former President Donald Trump's lawyer, who suggested on Fox News that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh should "step up" for Trump because of his support during Kavanaugh's confirmation process. This statement, which implies an expectation of loyalty from Kavanaugh to Trump, was criticized for undermining the principle of judicial independence. Panelist John Avlon highlighted the inappropriateness of such a public pressure campaign on a Supreme Court Justice.
