    Sometimes a lawyer has nothing to fight with. The law and constitution are sometimes clear and any judge will disbar a lawyer who tries to waste the courts time on this issue (this never happens because lawyers won’t risk it when things are that obvious - and usually it isn’t). If you don’t like it pay a lobbiest not a lawyer.

        I’ve heard about this once in my lifetime, and it made the news because it was so usual…

          So not “any” judge, rather one specific one.
