And again, this is the pending nominee to be the attorney general.
She's describing giving testimony before the Senate that,
That was, again, at the very least misleading and maybe more accurately disingenuous.
And then one other thing I thought was really interesting about when she talks about Blanche announcing we're not going forward with this fund is like she says Blanche had this apparent capacity to speak for Blanche.
both the plaintiffs and the defendants when he both signed the settlement agreement and then said, oh, we're not doing anything.
This is purportedly an agreement that has two parties to it.
So his ability to unilaterally go before the Senate and say, no, we're not going to do this anymore, makes crystal clear there was only one party whose interests were being represented throughout this case.
And that party was Donald Trump.
And again, that's not how any of this is supposed to work.
So in terms of the bar referrals, we talked about those.
Those are meaningful social and reputational sanctions in our profession, typically.
And then she also does impose this consequence of sorts, which is that Trump and his family are supposed to be prohibited from calling the audit protections part of this agreement a settlement in any official proceeding.
And then again, there's what you mentioned, the possibility of
having to pay monetary penalties in the form of the lawyer's fees for the friends of the court.
And I think that means both the 35 judges that you mentioned, and also there were other friends of the court briefs, so potentially paying those legal fees.
So again, a banger of an opinion, just really, really, I think, important at exposing the wild misconduct and abuse of the judicial process, of which this is, I think, like the most flagrant example, but we've seen many other examples in the last year and a half.
So very much worth a read.
Strict Scrutiny is brought to you by Quince.
Guess what, folks?
One thing I love about summer is how easy everything feels.
