Let me end tonight with a little story. A long time ago, I had a case against a litigant who just would lie all the time. About totally verifiable things. I threw a fit every single time in my responses. The Court sided with me, but didn't do anything about it the first time.1/
Or the second time. Or the third time. The fourth time the Court put some irritated language in its order, but didn't do anything. We had a few rounds of that. And then finally, after lie #400, the Court finally issued sanctions and shut down the case. 2/
That litigant was not the President of the United States. It was just a dude.

My point is, as preposterous as all this is, the Courts are almost certainly going to keep calmly rejecting these Trump suits but not going to take it out on Rudy and the "Strike Force." /3
I wish they would. But they're not. So until the politics of it stops this farce - and maybe that happens soon - Rudy and Trump are going to keep wiggling and filing new suits, and making complete fools of themselves and us. It's just how it is. Patience.
