Whitmer wants attorneys in Michigan election challenge suit disbarred
These idiots need to be disbarred

Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) called for the disbarment of Michigan's Greg Rohl, Scott Hagerstrom and Stefanie Junttila, as well as Texas-based Sidney Powell, a pro-Trump lawyer who promoted unproven election fraud claims.
The state officials accused the attorneys of contributing to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot through their involvement in litigation that would overturn President Biden's victory in the state, according to The Detroit News.
The four "used their law license in an attempt to disenfranchise Michigan voters and undermine the faith of the public in the legitimacy of the recent presidential election, and lent credence to untruths that led to violence and unrest," the officials wrote.
The lawsuit, King v. Whitmer, which was based on a number of unproven claims and conspiracy theories, asked for the state's electors to be disqualified in favor of declaring then-President Trump the winner. A U.S. district judge tossed the lawsuit Dec. 7 and said it was intended to "ignore the will of millions of voters."

"Elections have consequences" - and so do fraudulent court challenges. If you are given the right to represent people in the court system you are expected to know what is 'legal' and what is not. To proceed with an action that is based on non-existent evidence and rumor, totally lacking any substantial proof or reasonable doubt is indeed proof that you do not deserve the right to be involved in legal proceedings in the United States court system. You are not worthy of representing anyone who believes in the rights as guaranteed in the US Constitution.
