    If he keeps filing, is there a point where the court starts to discipline his attorney for wasting court time?

    Like I assume practically speaking subsequent filings would make clerks waste their time, and probably at least speak to a justice given the sitting POTUS is involved. But at some point it seems like the lawyer submitting any subsequent appeal is just asking for a SCOTUS justice to write the bar association a negative recommendation about their conduct.

      That, I’m not entirely sure. The Supreme Court has its own bar association that an attorney must be a member of in order to file cases with the Supreme Court or argue cases in the Court. I don’t think there have been many attorneys try to get themselves disbarred from SCOTUS.
