Good luck convincing anyone with 2 brain cells that they aren't “overwrought, dangerous lunatics”.

Good luck convincing anyone with 2 brain cells that they aren't “overwrought, dangerous lunatics”.

Are they objecting to the entire phrase or do they only contest "overwrought" while conceding that they are indeed"dangerous lunatics", as is blindingly obvious?

The phrase is their own concoction, it doesn't appear in the ruling. To which I say "If the shoe fits..."

Oh Hooray! Mike Dunford is doing one of his massive unrolls on the Squdney response.

Good afternoon, election-related disaster tourists -
Let's take a look at the opening brief filed by Sidney Powell and Howard "Hereinafter Klown" Kleinhendler in their appeal of sanctions in Michigan.

Reuters justice reporter Brad Heath tweeted that the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the brief, saying it didn't comply with a variety of the rules of Appellate Procedure.

I'm not a lawya, so maybe I'm misreading the clerk's letter when stripped of the fifty cents words as:

Dear Counsel,
You are a fuckin' moron.
Pull you finger out of your ass, now.
Sincerely yours
A clerk with many better things to do

[Tiredretiredlawyer]

So many lawyers don't read the rules, and even those that do miss SOMETHING! (Speaking from past appellate experience.)

I think the clerks may have form letters numbered to send for all of the mistakes.

"Send him the 16!"
"The 16! Are you sure?"
"Send the goddamn 16!"

[humblescribe]

This is what I do not understand:

If a lawyer screws up with the paperwork, why does the lawyer get backsies or do-overs? And why does the court permit a week or more to correct? I mean, these are lawyers, for crying out loud. I would argue that a licensed attorney is presumed to know the rules and procedures and all that lawyer stuff, or would know how to find out to do the work right the very first time.

I'd have no truck with such sloppy and careless work. I'd just say, "Too bad. You lose."

At the least the time to correct should be 48 hours and any fees that need to be paid should quadruple. And if the second submission fails, then AMF.

[W. Kevin Vicklund]

Failing to use the "corrected brief" event will result in a request for correction and could delay the progress of the appeal.

How nice of the clerk to give advice on how to dilate the time it takes to appeal.

The courts prefer to decide cases on the merits. And also not punish the parties for their lawyers' sins.

Thank you Bob.

I find it ironic that in many complaints, a key locution used by counsel over and over is, "So-and-so knew or should have known thus and such.

[Foggy]

And there are times when that's mercilessly logical. If you knew A, which we can prove, and you knew B, which we can prove, then YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN C, because C was definitely predictable if you knew A and B.


Example: The birthers knew that Obama's father was not a citizen. That was not a secret, in fact it was part of his basic story, the story he wrote an entire book about, called "Dreams From My Father". NOBODY EVER suggested that his father was ever a US citizen. And nobody ever said, "Hey, if his dad wasn't a citizen he can't be a natural born citizen" until AFTER THE ELECTION.

So the birthers should have known that the fake imaginary "born on US soil to two US citizens" rule was FAKE, IMAGINARY, AND STUPID.

How many of them have had fits about how ''anchor babies'' are unfairly US Citizens, but claimed Obama wasn't?

“Should have known” is usually invoked when the standard is one of reasonableness.

Hereinafter Klown and The Squid filed an emergency stay motion on the non-monetary sanctions (bar referrals and CLE). Mike Dunford is going to cover it.

Good afternoon, aficionados of Litigation disasters, and welcome to today's tour. We're heading back to a familiar destination - the shores of the beached Kraken, to tour two new documents just filed by Squidney and the Pain: Their corrected brief, and an emergency stay motion.

'Kraken' Lawyer Sidney Powell Says Cops Fired Tear Gas To Force Jan. 6 Rioters Into Capitol

Notorious “Kraken” attorney and a key spreader of lies about the 2020 presidential election Sidney Powell claimed in a fundraising video this week that police fired tear gas toward rioters on Jan. 6, 2021, to drive them into the Capitol.

That’s what she has “heard,” anyway, said Donald Trump’s former campaign attorney, and she’s looking for a handout to further investigate the reports on behalf of the Jan. 6 defendants. (Powell later removed the video from the website of her nonprofit organization Defending the Republic.)

Powell could also use those extra funds for her own mounting legal battles.

Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.3 billion defamation suit against her over her “wild accusations” that the company rigged the presidential election against Trump. The company has since accused Powell of raiding funds from Defending the Republic to pay her own legal fees.

'Kraken' Lawyer Sidney Powell Says Cops Fired Tear Gas To Force Jan. 6 Rioters Into Capitol

That's a new one! At least I've never heard that claim before.

The Capitol Police were diabolically clever. They were able to fire the tear gas with not one of the hundreds of smart phones capturing it on video.

Of course, if they are asked, the Capitol Police will deny it, but that merely proves that they did it.

Powell's bid to stay non-monetary sanctions in the Michigan case rejected by the Sixth Circuit:
Link to CA6 Kraken Order re stay 2022-02-24

The tea leaves are not looking good for Sidney:

The Attorneys' unsupported speculation that the district court did not exercise its authority in good faith is unfounded, particularly considering the district court's painstaking analysis in support of its sanctions order and its sua sponte recognition that a stay of the monetary portion of the judgment was appropriate.

[W. Kevin Vicklund]

Squidney better hope there's some e-courses she can take on an instant's notice. Gonna be a long day for her and Team Kraken!

Wonder what happens if they fail to complete their re-education continuing education before end of day tomorrow?

Wonder what happens if they fail to complete their re-education continuing education before end of day tomorrow?

Because there are pissed-off motivated parties, likely at least one of them will run proverbially walk briskly to the court (and appropriate bars) and ask for further sanctions.

Which will result in more proceedings, more orders to show cause, etc. Eventually someone is going to suspend some licenses, which will result in even more proceedings, etc.
