If you're a defense attorney, you need to be entitled to any argument no matter how tenuous or ridiculous in order to have due process of law. You can't be scared an argument will get you in trouble.

But there needs to be a line for a plaintiff where you at minimum get suspended from any sort of practice of law for a serious length of time for absurdly frivolous arguments, and it needs to be way before this.
