Is it possible for MoRon to appeal a ruling against them for their defense being pants on head exceptional?
No. If they lose because of his stupidity and incompetence, they can sue him for malpractice. With this, it's so obviously just stupid, sloppy drafting that nobody is going to be confused what he actually meant to say, it's just that what he actually said is pants-on-head retarded.
So for instance if they won or settled favorably they wouldn't have been harmed proximately by malpractice.
Really, that fuckup is the least that's wrong with that miserable excuse for a legal document. And to be fair, if you struck the completely extraneous "factual background" section, it would be merely below what I'd expect in quality, not completely atrociously dumb and bad.
ETA: This isn't a continuation of the response, I just had another thought and didn't want to double post.
I just noticed this in the TCPA: (6) "Legal action" means a lawsuit, cause of action, petition, complaint, cross-claim, or counterclaim or any other judicial pleading or filing that requests legal or equitable relief.
"Legal action" is what you file a TCPA on. A TCPA would itself be "any other judicial pleading or filing that requests legal or equitable relief." I'm not sure whether a dismissal under the TCPA would be equitable, legal, or some combination (my gut is like other types of dismissal it would be legal), but it would definitely be at least one.
So there's nothing stopping you from filing a TCPA against a TCPA filing itself. Just a thought. I actually think it might be appropriate if they file a TCPA in relation to the tortious interference claims, because the speech in question on that, specifically the threats and actually carrying out the illegal action of breaching their own contracts, isn't even arguably protected speech.
I also think it's possible that some of the more ludicrous kitchen sink bullshit affirmative defenses might qualify for such a motion.
