Good point - and a good rebuttal to the people posting nonsense about "right wingers going ape" to try and obscure the issue.
In certain cases it could be a violation of Professional Responsibility to waste the court's time with irrelevant documents (although i don't think this would not apply if it's Mexican counsel preparing the brief). Either way this is very bad form on Mexico's part.
Also, Just because you CAN use a litigation tactic doesn't mean you should. Judges are free to use their discretion to punish tactics that, are professionally inappropriate, even if they do not technically violate State or Federal Procedure.
Not that the pro-illegals care anyway - Mexico's position is that it should be able to abet lawbreaking with no consequences.
