Pennsylvania lawyers shredded Rudy Giuliani's arguments in Trump's biggest election lawsuit as 'disgraceful' and 'really inventive'

Lawyers representing the Pennsylvania secretary of state's office shredded the Trump campaign's lead lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, in a major court hearing on Tuesday about the campaign's biggest election lawsuit.

Giuliani alleged that "widespread nationwide voter fraud" took place in the election and asked the judge to toss out nearly 700,000 mail ballots in Pennsylvania and block the state from certifying its election results.

Mark Aronchick, one of the defense lawyers representing Pennsylvania secretary of state Kathy Boockvar's office, tore into Giuliani, describing him as living in a "fantasy world," calling him "really inventive," and saying he was making arguments that were "disgraceful in an American courtroom."

Daniel Donovan, another defense lawyer, reminded the judge that despite Giuliani's claims of widespread fraud, the campaign's lawsuit did not make any such allegation.

First, we have to get a decision here, which the Trump campaign will almost certainly lose. Then, they'll attempt to expedite it to the SCOTUS...and which point, we'll really find out of the rule of law is going to triumph, or merely the rule of "I've packed the court, so now they need to do what I want."
