Keri Lake files law suit, demands election redo

Still winning.
Kari Lake's lawyers fined in failed Arizona election lawsuit

 

$2000. That’s not going to stop anybody.

 

The actual lawyers can chime in, but I would assume being sanctioned is a much bigger deal than the money.
Either way, it’s funny to see the same fools do the same things and face the same consequences over and over again, and seemingly learn nothing.

 

If you aren’t worried about the reputational hit of trying to assist your client illegally steal an election, you probably aren’t going to get too worked up over a $2000 fine.

 

A lawyer can represent some pretty reprehensible people that have done some truly terrible things without sacrificing his/her reputation, principles and ethics.

 

The reputation hit would be far worse than that token assessment, especially when the matter will likely also be the subject of a Bar referral.

 

As much as I hate this election denial movement, I think we need to be very careful about how much we allow the state to determine how it can punish people for bringing failed lawsuits against it. I don’t how what Lake actually believes in her heart, but I certainly don’t want DeSantis able to fine Disney or anyone for frivolous lawsuits against the state.

 

Judges are pretty good about sniffing out frivolous lawsuits. Imposing sanctions is a valuable tool in limiting how often they are filed. If dismissal was the only remedy, the filing of these bullshit lawsuits would increase exponentially.

 

Thank you. I believe all of what you say, but I am a bit worried when the defendant is the state itself that this is a tool that could be used by a partisan court to chill dissent. I think this particular outcome might be an exemplar of the good judgement of which you speak, as it identifies and labels the suit as frivolous, while at the same time declining to put an exorbitant penalty on top of that declaration.

 

It should have been more. Watch:

 

Lake tried to steal her election but lost. TFG created the monster that Lake is.

They are traitors. Pres, attorneys, GOP deniers.

Try them, if guilty execute them

 

Her last appeal will be heard Friday. The fast track says to me the judge has his mind fairly made up, and given his previous ruling this will end quickly.
But maybe the lawyers here feel differently?

Kari Lake's Arizona election challenge on signatures set for hearing

 

Agreed why treat sedition differently than treason especially when they’re elected to public office. If guilty swing them from a tree or face a firing squad (goes for those on the left too). Whichever they prefer. Show me where I’m wrong…

 

Not for her

 

We are in agreement

 

Where she and all the other election deniers are now.

Six months after midterm losses, election deniers mount new efforts

 

Thought they were also going to provide evidence that some of the machines weren’t certified properly? Did that happen?

 

No. The Judge ruled pre-trial that the only challenge on trial is the lack of signature verification. Machine issues were already denied. And considering how poorly today went for Lake, the defense could move to dismiss and it might get granted.
