A
Glendale state senator who calls reports of a riot on Jan. 6 “a sham” is now going after judges who sanction attorneys for filing what he believes are “good faith” claims on behalf of clients. But Republican Anthony Kern insists it has nothing to do with his own lawyers being ordered to pay $75,000 in legal fees after he and two other lawmakers filed what a judge concluded was a frivolous lawsuit against another legislator over his role in that 2021 event at the U.S. Capitol.

Analise Ortiz, D-Phoenix. “I would love to see that email.” But a spokesman for the State Bar called
the allegation “as patently untrue as it is offensive.” “This isn’t even a subject that would be a discussion in this organization,” he continued. “It’s irresponsible to make such a baseless claim.” Kern did not respond to a request to produce the email. At the heart of the issue is the contention by Kern and some conservatives that the judicial system — and the State Bar, which handles attorney discipline subject to Supreme Court review — is hostile to their issues.
