When a lawyer is appealing a case (at least a normal, sane, competent lawyer), he or she has the rules of appellate procedure for that circuit open in front of him/her all the time and double-checks everything - page length, items to be included in the appendix, citations, captions - every fucking thing - before submitting it, because the courts have no mercy on people who can't follow simple, straightforward instructions. It's a lot of time-consuming busy work but it's not rocket science, so to speak. And yet the Kraken crew and other TFG-aligned lawyers seem to fuck up their filings on a regular basis.

just for the free publicity... insane I know. But then they seem to be quite thus.

in other words, it's their intention in having their filings thrown out in a stupid attempt to prove the courts are part of the deep state which must also be disrupted and destroyed.

On the other hand, that's likely giving them too much credit for plotting this out as a strategy to achieve that aim.

it's a wonder she hasn't been disbarred a year ago.

A bunch of bargain basement lawyers who can’t even fill out their own paperwork correctly. TFG must be so proud of his legal team…
