This makes me smile. Opinion evidence is not relevant to the issues in this proceeding

Former Justice Brown disqualified as expert for John Eastman [Updated]
by David Ettinger
John Eastman, the attorney who faces possible disbarment by the California Supreme Court for his role in trying to overturn President Biden’s 2020 election, in March designated former California Supreme Court Justice — and former federal Court of Appeals Judge — Janice Rogers Brown as one of seven expert witnesses in the State Bar’s disciplinary proceedings against him. The Office of Chief Trial Counsel of the State Bar objected.

On Tuesday, a State Bar Court judge agreed with the OCTC.

In their expert witnesses designation, Eastman’s attorneys said that Brown was “expected to testify regarding her opinion that the California State Bar seems to be moving into unchartered [sic] territory with seeking to discipline an attorney on one side of a contentious legal fight.” The judge’s order says, “Judge Brown’s opinion regarding the unprecedented nature of OCTC pursuing charges against Respondent is not relevant to the court’s determination of Respondent’s culpability for violating the Rules of Professional Conduct or Business and Professions Code.”

2. Cool. This goes right to the basic problem presented and imposed on society

by these right-wing whackos as a whole: they steadfastly believe their opinions are facts.

3. LOL

Based on that "opinion" then any disbarment would be considered "uncharted territory".
