\u2018The View\u2019 Host Sunny Hostin Shocks Audience With Reaction To Trump Ruling: \u2018Right Decision\u2019
\nSunny Hostin, co-host of The View, applauded the liberal justices\u2019 \u201cdissent\u201d in Monday\u2019s decision upholding former president Donald Trump\u2019s eligibility to run for office in each of the 50 states. To the surprise of a lot of people, Hostin also said that she supported the decision.<\/p>\n
Moments after the decision was made, Whoopi Goldberg declared, to the audible groans of the assembled audience, \u201cThe Supreme Court has just ruled unanimously that Colorado courts cannot keep you know who off the state\u2019s ballot for engaging in insurrection.\u201d
\nHostin said she generally agreed with the conclusion when she asked the panel what they thought of it. In actuality, she stated, \u201cI believe it was the right choice because, you know, if Colorado had been permitted to do that, we would have this disorganized process where you have 50 states and some are choosing to put him on the ballot and some are choosing not to put him on the ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that the decision was unanimous, Hostin continued by praising the \u201cdissent\u201d of liberal justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson. \u201cTherefore, the jury reached a unanimous result in this case. However, if you read the dissenting opinions of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, you\u2019ll see that they argue the Supreme Court overreached itself by providing a decision on a matter that wasn\u2019t presented to them, according to Hostin.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan a state do this? was the only question this court had to consider. Rather than that, they protected all of the accused insurrectionists from being challenged in the future for their federal post. She said, \u201cAnd that is a fundamental principle of Supreme Court law. Hostin said that the court\u2019s decision ought to have had a more specific scope, noting that she is a \u201cSupreme Court admitted, bar admitted attorney.\u201d<\/p>\n
