Newsweek - A federal judge has rejected Rudy Giuliani's latest court submission and said an experienced lawyer ought to be able to draft a better legal document. Giuliani had submitted a written request for more time to reply to two Georgia election workers, who complained to a Washington, D.C., court that he continues to defame them even after they won a $148 million lawsuit against him...
In a written order on December 4, Judge Beryl A. Howell complained that Giuliani's request for more time had failed to comply with court procedures and was not even signed.
She wrote that allowances for mistakes can be made for some people who are representing themselves in court. However, while Giuliani is representing himself, he has also had extensive experience as an attorney and ought to be able to write a legal letter, she noted. She denied his request "without prejudice", which means he will be allowed to file a corrected letter.
