These are the five Republican Alabama lawyers/legislators who were among those who signed a "friend of the court"brief in Donald Trump's suit asking the Supreme Court to allow a lawsuit filed by the state of Texas seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — swing states where former Vice President Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump:
Bradley Byrne
Mike Rogers
Robert Aderholt
Mo Brooks
Gary Palmer
The Washington Post reports those five are among those being looked at by The65Project as potential targets of bar complaints:
“We plan to bring complaints against elected officials who helped instigate January 6 or who participated in litigation that raised fraudulent and bogus claims,” he wrote in an email. “Of the 30 or so members of Congress who are lawyers and signed the amicus brief in Texas v. Pennsylvania,” which sought to throw out Pennsylvania’s electoral votes, “we’re identifying the more egregious among them (based on public statements, voting for the electoral count objections, etc.) and will be bringing bar complaints soon.”
