I understand and agree with your feelings, but unfortunate it’s not quite that simple. Incompetence in representing a client generally isn’t remedied by disbarment. And that’s what you and I saw in this video, piss poor lawyering (and to be fair to these Trump legal team stooges, they weren’t being paid to do what they thought was best. They were executing the legal “strategy” directed by Giuliani).
So here are the remedies—
First of all, the judge can impose sanctions on the individual attorneys, although it’s not entirely clear from the video on what basis (other than wasting his time). Note that they did answer his questions truthfully. He can impose sanctions on the client, making them pay all court costs.
With regard to the state bar, you could file a complaint (and I am sure there will be complaints). I’m going to speculate here that the state bar is not going to give very much weight to complaints filed by you or me. We have less standing; we’re less affected than, say, the voters of Arizona. But let’s say that someone with better standing complains about these attorneys and the bar investigates. It’s doubtful they will be punished if this is the only frivolous law suit they’ve every filed. I’m fact, it’s doubtful unless there is a clear pattern of filing and arguing frivolous suits that is revealed in the investigation. If there is a clear pattern, they won’t be disbarred. They might face a suspension of their license to practice law for some period of time.
With regard to their competence, they can argue that they were following the wishes of the client’s top legal advisors, the ones running the case. They can argue that the voiced their concerns, but were ordered to proceed anyway.
These lawyers are scum, but that’s not illegal by itself.
