Knudsen stated, "At the time, my client had a bona fide, genuine belief that that order was not valid. And that was what we were instructed to press."
In defense, Knudsen emphasized, "We did not believe the court order was valid & it's our responsibility to represent the legislature in this unprecedented case."
Knudsen dismissed the court’s order as "ludicrous" and insisted on the need to challenge it, claiming an 'obvious conflict of interest' existed.
Addressing the ethics allegations, he argued that his comments were not disrespectful, stating, "I was simply advocating vigorously for my client’s interests during a complex legal issue."
