Rudy Giuliani weaponized his law license in an assault on the Constitution that he took an oath to uphold, the D.C. disciplinary counsel charged at the start of the former New York City mayors attorney misconduct hearing on Monday.
Nobody would disagree that the right to vote is fundamental, disciplinary counsel Hamilton Fox noted in his opening statement in Giulianis disciplinary hearing. Not much written about it in the Constitution, but weve amended the Constitution three times......
The D.C. Bar accuses Giuliani of conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice for spearheading a nationwide effort to overturn former President Donald Trumps defeat. Mondays hearing focused in particular on Giulianis frivolous lawsuit in federal court in Pennsylvania, which Fox noted was the only case that the former mayor personally litigated.
Like dozens of Trump surrogates and allies, Giuliani requested audacious and even unprecedented judicial action. At minimum, Fox noted, Giuliani wanted a federal judge to throw out some 680,000 mail-in ballots, and the maximum relief called for invalidated the roughly 7 million ballots entirely, handing the decision to the state legislature.
A constitutional democracy like ours does not work unless the loser honors the decision of the voters, Fox said, noting that no other court in U.S. history had ever considered such a remedy.
