A Texas judge refused Wednesday to dismiss a disciplinary action by the State Bar of Texas against former Trump attorney Sidney Powell, who told the judge she is the victim of a political hitjob by Democrats.
Collin County District Judge Andrea Bouressa, a Republican, denied Powells motion to dismiss in a bench ruling after an hour-long hearing.
I cannot conclude the plaintiffs allegations, if taken as true, do not entitle it to the relief sought, she said.
The state bars Commission for Lawyer Discipline sued Powell in neighboring Dallas County in March, after receiving 10 separate complaints against her since 2020. The complainants allege Powell committed professional misconduct in contesting the election of President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump.
The bar association claims Powell filed federal lawsuits in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin that were frivolous and violated Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 and five subsections of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. It alleges Powell took positions in the litigation that unreasonably increased the costs of the cases and unreasonably delayed their resolution, including an alleged failure to drop a lawsuit in the Eastern District of Michigan when requested relief was moot.

Facts are facts and the law is the law (at least until the Roberts Court decides the Constitution is unconstitutional).
