5. From the court order

And this case was never about fraud—it was about undermining the People’s faith in our democracy and debasing the judicial process to do so.

4. "referrals for disbarment" How does that work?

Who does it get referred to? State Bar associations?

8. Each state licenses lawyers its own way

A common misunderstanding is the role of “bar associations” which, in most states, is merely a professional organization. There are some in which the “bar association” licenses lawyers.

In most states, lawyers are licensed under the authority of the highest court in the state, which authorizes a particular code of conduct and appoints a body to oversee violations of that code.

Since federal courts do not license lawyers, they must refer findings of misconduct to the appropriate state body for whatever action that body believes to be appropriate.

7. If these people are not disbarred

The Bar Associations themselves have no integrity and need to clean their own house. Judges should have jailed these assholes for contempt.

16. Most bar associations don't have licensing authority

and therefore cannot disbar. But there will be some agency in each home state of these lawyers which does. I gather Powell is from Texas? And I blieve Wood is from Georgia.

Don't get me wrong, there are groups which have the authority, and those are the groups to whm this is being referreed ... and those groups must justify their own integrity (or continue in shame without it, but I hope the former.) They just mostly are not "bar associations."

12. Sidney Powell, Kraken legal team face sanctions, court costs and potential disbarment over election

Attorneys allied with former President Donald Trump who tried to use a conspiracy-laden lawsuit to overturn Michigan's election results have received federal sanctions from a judge in Michigan and could face a host of other disciplinary measures.

The attorneys must also pay legal fees for the city of Detroit and others that defended against the lawsuit and take 12 hours of training — including six hours focused on election law — in the next six months.

The punishments foreshadow far more potentially devastating problems for Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and a cadre of other attorneys who used their so-called "Kraken" lawsuit to push a false claim that an international cabal worked to steal the election away from Trump in Michigan and several other states.

In addition to harshly chastising the attorneys who filed the suit in her ruling, U.S. District Judge Linda V. Parker ordered her sanctions be sent to the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission and similar associations around the country. Other courts and state bar associations have the capacity to disbar or otherwise punish these attorneys.

So today, Sidney Powell told Steve Bannon that she needs 100 attorneys to help defend the insurrectionists.

With today’s news of her potential disbarment, she now needs 101.

14. Wheels of Justice are Grinding

I know, it’s hard doing it the right way, but due process is what separates us from everything we abhor. Patience. It’s frustrating waiting, I know, but it must be done the right way.
