Nunes's ridiculous lawsuits provoke judges:

Devin Nunes and his attorney could face court sanctions after angering judges with ‘absurd’ filings

snip

Nunes lost his case against Fusion GPS in February, when a federal judge dismissed the complaint and told Biss that he would need to file a more substantive complaint or face sanctions.

Biss and Nunes resubmitted the case last month with a complaint very similar to their original argument, and Fusion GPS’ lawyers asked the judge to sanction the pair over their “absurd” new filing.

“[The complaint] is so packed with irrelevant, frivolous and malicious allegations that it is impossible to decipher what conduct (Nunes) alleges is unlawful,” Fusion GPS attorneys argued.

A federal judge also smacked Biss as part of his lawsuit on behalf of the Russian graduate student, and told him he must follow federal law if he files another claim.
