Beatdown in Motown--judge sanctions 2020 Elections fraud lawyers in blistering ruling (Page 1/3)
rinselberg AUG 27, 02:53 AM
U.S. District Court Judge Linda Parker issued a "blistering" (NBC News) 110-page ruling on Wednesday, imposing penalties on Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and seven other lawyers who tried to advance lawsuits involving claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Parker, a Detroit native, is part of the Eastern District of Michigan U.S. District Court, and the beatdown likely went down in Room 204 of the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse on Lafayette Blvd, in Detroit, judging (get it?) by what I see online.

"profound abuse of the judicial process"

quote
Powell, Wood and others joined a lawsuit in November alleging widespread fraud in the presidential contest in Michigan, which President Joe Biden won. Parker dismissed the lawsuit a month later because she found that it was based largely on "speculation and conjecture," according to The Associated Press.

"This lawsuit represents a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process," Parker wrote in her ruling Wednesday. "It is one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated with an allegedly fraudulent election. It is another to take on the charge of deceiving a federal court and the American people into believing that rights were infringed, without regard to whether any laws or rights were in fact violated. This is what happened here."


"that's gotta hurt"

quote
Parker ordered the lawyers to pay Detroit's court costs and to undergo 12 hours of continuing legal education, including six hours on election law. She is also sending a copy of her decision to state attorney grievance commissions for investigation, possible suspension or disbarment of the lawyers.

Obama appointee - motivated by party loyalty, not impartial.

Edit to add (notice that I'm not modifying the text of my original post)

Her appointment marks her first job as a judge of any kind.

That's a pretty good gig for someone who never sat on the bench, not even traffic court experience.

I knew she was an Obama appointee. I didn't know that she did not have prior experience as a judge.

If I were going to go "big" on this one, I would look for what is happening (or has happened) in a somewhat similar case, from Colorado. Another federal judge. Some other lawyers who were pursuing claims of 2020 elections fraud.

If you were to go big?

When is that gonna happen?

Hasn't happened yet!

Intelligent adults consider their words before they speak.
When posting, some amount of background information should be learned before posting, otherwise, one might be mistaken for a fool.

You wouldn't want to be mistaken for a fool, would you?

Talk about the "pot calling the kettle black."

I could still be chuckling (if I wanted to) over the naivety of some of your forum posts that came early on in the Covid-19 pandemic.

I am not conceding that the Obama administration should be charged with an Error for nominating Judge Linda Parker to the federal bench.

What was her prior background and experience?

You saw the picture of the judge.

rinse, you can't insult me, as I consider the source of commentary.

Another edit, hiding the original posting.

Not much for etiquette.....

What was her background?

Why don't you investigate and find out for yourself?

Perhaps you know a 12 year old that understands the 'SEARCH' function...
