TL;DR Summary

The Supreme Court upheld sanctions against lawyers Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and others for filing frivolous challenges to the 2020 election results in Michigan, rejecting their appeals and affirming the lower court's decision.

The court's decision is seen as a deterrent to similar litigation abuses in the future, with the City of Detroit hoping to prevent further attempts to delegitimize election results.
