Joyce Vance tackles some angles on the phony wedding case that I haven't seen elsewhere

"Although the state certainly could have tried to contact Stewart and figured this out, lawyers are obligated to make sure that everything they file in court is truthful and accurate. That burden was on Smith’s lawyers and it appears that they failed to me it. Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe had some thoughts about how the Court should handle the situation."

She quotes Laurence Tribe: "It was a phony controversy, cooked up just to pitch a curveball that only a trump-stacked court would have swung at."

"There is no indication, at least at this moment, that the Court will consider taking any steps to hold the lawyers accountable or consider whether the case was properly in front of them."

They could vacate their decision on a phony case, but don't hold your breath.
