Rudolf Guiliani Should Be Disbarred

 

It must be fun to be pals with the President of the United States, unless the president is a megalomaniac {a person obsessed with his own power). Rudolf Giuliani fully understands each legal rule I am about to state.  In politics anything goes.  However, in law there are rules enacted to prevent frivolous vexatious lawsuits. The fact that the president dreams of throwing out millions of votes does not excuse Mr. Giuliani arguing a frivolous lawsuit in Pennsylvania yesterday (Tuesday, November 17).

              A vexatious lawsuit is a legal action brought solely to harass or subdue an adversary.

              It can be frivolous, burdensome or unwarranted.

              A judge may issue sanctions against the party and or his lawyer.

              That may be one of the reasons many firms have recently dropped the president as a client.

              Opposing parties bring malicious prosecution lawsuits against vexatious litigants.

               They can obtain damages.

               People, who are mentally ill, bring many vexatious lawsuits.      

               Busy trial courts all over the country have their calendars clogged by frivolous lawsuits.

               At bottom, Mr. Giuliani’s argument is he would like to go look for evidence. However, the law requires that a party must show evidence supporting the complaint.

                Judges have dismissed Trump’s cases in other states. That gave Mr. Giuliani notice that he has an unmeritorious case.

                 I join with others that have called for Mr. Giuliani’s disbarment from the legal profession. He would be entitled to a trial. However, there is plenty of evidence against him.
