Federal judge in Michigan sanctions Trump lawyers for abusing the legal process to undermine democracy

I closed last month's Trump's lawyers face sanctions in Michigan over conduct during election lawsuits with a "stay tuned" message for my readers.

As for Trump's lawyers in Michigan, I watched the hearing and heard the judge gave the attorneys two weeks to prepare briefs. I expect her ruling shortly afterwards. I hope to report on it here when that happens. Stay tuned.

A little more than a month later, the judge ruled. Rachel Maddow on MSNBC reported Federal Judge Excoriates Trump Lawyers, Refers Them For Disbarment.

Rachel Maddow reads from a ruling by Judge Linda V. Parker of the Federal District Court in Detroit in which she agrees with the case brought by Detroit that the lawsuits filed to overturn Donald Trump's election loss in Michigan were not actually about any legal issues but were political stunts to undermine the integrity of the election.

Maddow continued the story in the next clip, Trump Lawyers Face Accountability: 'They Used The Federal Courts To Broadcast Lies.'

David Fink, attorney for Detroit in the Michigan elections sanctions case against Donald Trump lawyers, talks with Rachel Maddow about why it was important for the judge to go beyond throwing Trump election challenges out of court, and the consequences those lawyers may now face from a judge outraged at their abuse of the court system.

This is exactly the outcome I was hoping for and that I thought the Kraken-shot lawyers deserved. May the ruling for sanctions deter other lawyers from doing what Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and others did in this case. It also satisfied the sentiment I repeated in Seth Meyers updates late-night talk show hosts on the 2020 election and its aftermath for Throwback Thursday on April Fools Day.

As I have written repeatedly about the criminal prosecutions of public officials for their roles in the Flint Water Crisis, "The wheels of justice are grinding slowly in this case, but I expect they will indeed grind exceedingly fine." May they also grind exceedingly fine for Trump and his seditious supporters, if not as slowly.

I think the sanctions and referrals for discipline look like being ground exceedingly fine, don't you?
