My guess is he threw a tantrum and yelled at his lawyers to do something about it, and it's the best they came up with.

Imagine working for this tantrum toddler.

At this point, everyone who makes that choice knows what they are getting into.

If you're a defense attorney, you need to be entitled to any argument no matter how tenuous or ridiculous in order to have due process of law. You can't be scared an argument will get you in trouble.

But there needs to be a line for a plaintiff where you at minimum get suspended from any sort of practice of law for a serious length of time for absurdly frivolous arguments, and it needs to be way before this.
