If lawyers start getting hit with sanctions for filing frivolous lawsuits, there may yet be a silver lining to all of the nonsense presented in court.

Yes, and as it’s been explained by others, it is more likely to be paying for the attorney fees of the defendants which should be a considerable amount of money.

I share your hope - but am thoroughly convinced that these MAGA -Trumpians are like cockroaches, maggots, and mold - very hard to subdue … very hard to eradicate…
they are incorrigible … no matter how bad the defeat - no matter the degree of humiliation and extent of the reprimand … they relentlessly keep doing despicable crap.

There’s no bright-line standard, but Trump is nowhere near the line yet.

Is there any precedent for fining the plaintiff for frivolous lawsuits, particularly after a history of doing so? I understand the role of the lawyers and that they are ultimately responsible, but just curious.

I wonder who stole that picture of me. Note the knife had a wood handle or I wouldn’t be typing right now

Being brilliant is not enough. And for some eyes and ears, it may be at best, disregarded or at worst, a detriment.

If the hair were darker, it could be my younger brother…

His knife didn’t have a wooden handle, and that knife with the notch melted into it was in our silverware drawer well into my adulthood.

Sure, but the most readily-available sanction is against the lawyers for violating Rule 11 by signing a frivolous, bad-faith lawsuit. Trump’s personal conduct isn’t really before the court so much as it is for the attorneys. He has plausible deniability if it comes to sanctions. The lawyers do not.

Umm, does anyone remember if any of the movants actually asked for sanctions?

Just wondering whether the coming scourging is sua sponte or on motion.
