Just because I know how much the media loves to hype up these motions: motion for dismissal is super common and is done in every other case.
Don't make this out as "she is out of line, how could you even ask that". It's procedural, and it's nothing special at all.
You're not wrong that motions to dismiss are common and routine, but this is a little different.
"Purely on procedural grounds, I don't believe that this motion to dismiss for misconduct ... has cleared the procedural bar as being under the court's authority," Judge Scott McAfee said.
That's legalese for "What the fuck did you just ask me?"
Interesting. I'm trying to parse the words right now. Are they saying "it shouldn't have even been brought"?
Same with everyone pleading "Not Guilty" at the start of everything. That's just part of the song and dance.
When asked for comment, Powell only said "two weeks".
That's rich. Nah Sidney.
Time to pay for all that treason.
See the bed you made, go lie down in it.
It's not so fun when the Kraken is looking at you.... Is it Sydney?
Seriously though, this woman just screams sociopath, given her behavior and actions over the last several years. The fact that she managed to not get disbarred is a grave injustice.
Can someone tell me, if convicted, will she lose her ability to practice law? Or is that too much to ask?
Womp womp.
That's her found out face.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
