The Dem attorneys, defending these bs cases, should file complaints with all relevant attorney disciplinary commissions etc., seeking disbarment of these clowns. Otherwise we'll see this same clown show every four years.
But I doubt that'll happen, as these clown shows also line the pockets of the Dem attorneys.
Any corrective action will likely have to originate from a grassroots effort.
