Federal judge hints at possible discipline against lawyer after another GOP election lawsuit is tossed
(CNN)A federal judge in Washington, DC, suggested on Monday that lawyers representing the Wisconsin Voters Alliance and other groups, which have backed efforts in several courts in line with President Donald Trump seeking to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's win, could face professional discipline.
The group had asked the DC District Court to block the Electoral College vote and Congress from confirming Biden's win. District Judge James Boasberg fully rejected their requests, calling it a "fundamental and obvious misreading of the Constitution" and "the undermining of a democratic election for President of the United States."
Boasberg also wrote in a seven-page opinion that the case may not have been filed seriously from the beginning. He noted the group hadn't properly notified its targets -- which included Vice President Mike Pence -- of the lawsuit, and had filed it in the wrong court.
"Courts are not instruments through which parties engage in such gamesmanship or symbolic political gestures," Boasberg wrote.
"As a result, at the conclusion of this litigation," he added, "the Court will determine whether to issue an order to show cause why this matter should not be referred to its Committee on Grievances for potential discipline of Plaintiffs' counsel."
