[EL] Ohio Democratic Party Contempt Motion — Re: ELB News and Commentary 9/17/20

[Mark Scarberry]

Shouldn’t the Ohio Democratic Party be subject to sanctions under the Ohio version of Rule 11 for seeking contempt sanctions against the Ohio Republican Party for this out-of-court criticism of the judge (and of the ODP)? Doesn’t Bridges v. California (1941) prevent these criticisms from being the subject of contempt sanctions?
