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.
