Sidney Powell... well... keep the fragile stuff away when you read this

[Keith&Co.]

Something else it's important to point out.

Here in our legal system, lawyers don't get paid for honesty. They get paid for results, by whatever means necessary.

Not quite by whatever means.
There's a reason almost none of the fraud claims made it into actual courts, just press conferences.

They cannit risk being caught knowingly lying to a judge.

The best part is where he points out the bit that everyone is reporting (ie, only a dumb cunt would believe this crap), and then points out later on in the motion to dismiss, Powell wholeheartedly believes the things she says.
Anyways, here's a copy of the motion.

...
If the court finds someone is "not a reasonable person" under a defamation suit, could that be used as evidence of their mental unfitness in general, such a with power of attorney issues, parental rights, etc.?

Gun ownership?

YES, that!

Actually, Trump sounded very sober when he called for just that. Trump: ‘Take the guns first, go through due process second’

During a meeting with lawmakers at the White House on Feb. 28, President Trump suggested to “take the guns first, go through due process second” in the cases of people who are reported as dangerous.

As Seth Meyers said last night in his monologue:

"I like taking the guns early. No Democratic president has ever even come close to saying something like that. Without due process, no less!"

So the GOP platform is now:
"Vote for us because no reasonable person would ever believe anything we say, and therefore we need to vote reasonable people out of government".

Sad, but true.

I remember the Republicans from years ago. It wasn't like this. But it is now.

Voter suppression and lying about GOP lies already told are now the Republican stock in trade.


Sad, really. There used to be principled conservatives running the party of Lincoln.

The issue is that Conservatism has lost sufficient popularity to never win the majority ever again. So Republicans have to abandon Conservatism and move to something they can retain power with.

I suspect that taking guns away from everyone who believed anything he or his talking-head enablers said, wasn't exactly what he had in mind.

Nobody forced them to move toward tin-foil hat lunacy and election manipulation though. They could have
moved toward moral integrity and moderate policies. You know, fight for more territory among the non-deplorable voting bloc.

Can the text of that defendant's motion be used as evidence by the plaintiff?

Even if so, I suppose it would do no good: Powell would just argue that no reasonable person could imagine the attorney who wrote the motion was truthful or competent.
