I suppose “adequately” may have been subjective. The rules for failure to comply include “..any other order that is just under the circumstances.”

. . . which sounds good - until you understand that what would be "just under the circumstances” of having given the Democrats a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate by wrongly convicting the 40th Republican senator would be pretty harsh. And that is what happened in Judge Sullivan’s courtroom.

And Sullivan wasn’t even able to disbar the miscreant, or even to get him removed from being a prosecutor.

“And Sullivan wasn’t even able to disbar..”

Of course not. That’s a Bar Association matter.

Perhaps you could add a link to the case you are talking about.
