Motley: Not a Serious Lawyer

Kim Motley shows all the signs of being a publicity whore.

That's a problem because it's now clear that she's not a serious lawyer.

Attorneys representing 68 plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the city of Wauwatosa, its mayor, former police chief and several other defendants have less than two weeks to amend the complaint if they want to move forward with the lawsuit....

The lawsuit claims the October 2020 citywide curfew violated the plaintiffs' constitutional rights and violated other federal laws. 

Judge Nancy Joseph of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin decided to dismiss 15 of the 16 claims in the lawsuit without prejudice...

The judge argued that some of the claims brought up in the lawsuit were brought about by plaintiffs that were neither "seized nor even present at the October protests."

Oh.  Whoops!!

Serious lawyers understand "standing" (like it or not.)  Motley and her colleagues are in "frivolous lawsuit" territory here when they sue on behalf of people who could have been in Denver at the time of the alleged offenses in Wauwatosa.

Need more?  Motley gives it to you!!

...Motley didn't indicate whether she planned to amend the complaint before Feb. 14.

"I respect the judge's order, and we are definitely taking that under advisement as we look to see what our posturing will be moving forward," Motley said. ...

Looks like someone's getting the Hell out of Dodge.  And using the word "posturing" was......infelicitous.

Show horse?  Lawyer?  You be the judge.  (See what I did there?)
