“Judge orders Arizona GOP to pay $18K in failed presidential election lawsuits”

[archives]

“The Arizona Republican Party and its lawyers must pay more than $18,000 in legal fees to the Arizona secretary of state after a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled on Friday that one of the party’s failed lawsuits challenging President Biden’s win there last year was “groundless.”

“The financial award was made under a law that requires judges to assess attorney fees against lawyers or legal parties who bring claims to court without substantial justification or to delay or harass.”

“Taxpayers were forced to cover the legal fees to defend the state government last year”

This is a political party which spent decades hollering about the malignancy of frivolous lawsuits.

Got that right. It was huge when they were trying to explain why for-profit no-competition capitalist health care costs so much.

This is known as Republican hypocrisy.

Apparently, the GOP only favors some kinds of frivolous lawsuits but not others.

Liars and cheats.
