If he loses in his re-election bid then this would be moot, so this lawsuit obviously has a connection. I would seriously question if the Superior Court would have jurisdiction (ie the power to do something) to remove a lawfully elected person from a sovereign entity. Most notably the case cited deals with damages and whether the governmental entity or the corporate entity has any liability that formed the basis of the conflict. The Supreme Court said the Corporate Defendant had NO liability. Probably why Bertain did not file against them. This case does not stand for the proposition that elected officials who have a conflict can be removed from office. Thus timing is everything. Also if Sears loses or even dismisses he could be on the hook for the district's attorney's fees.Allan Dollisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398369900020387507noreply@blogger.com
