Serious question -Shouldn't Sidney Powell be disbarred for wasting the Supreme Court's

time?

The Supreme Court rejected two lawsuits filed by the Trump ally Sidney Powell.
It extends the extraordinary losing streak for lawsuits seeking to overturn 2020 election results.

7. People Are Mockingly Referring to Sidney Powell's Dominion Strategy as "The Tucker Carlson Defense":

They did not cover this defense back when I was in law school.




People are quick to compare this strategy to one Fox News incorporated while defending host Tucker Carlson. The Judge in the case, Mary Kay Vyskocil, agreed with the strategy, writing, “Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any reasonable viewer ‘arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism’ about the statement he makes.”

The Tucker Carlson Defense is now a trending topic on Twitter. Attorney Ron Filipkowski writes, “In Sidney Powell’s response to the Dominion lawsuit, her lawyers state that she never actually believed what she was saying, she was just representing her client’s position. The Tucker Carlson defense.


And author Grant Stern notes, “In deploying The Tucker Carlson defense, Sidney Powell is admitting that her credibility is completely nonexistent.”
