“Legendary douche Gerry Spence, a legend in his own mind.”

If you remember, he defended Randy Weaver...

You mean the "douche" that defended Randy Weaver and got him acquitted?

From Wikipedia:

Weaver was charged with multiple crimes relating to the Ruby Ridge incident, a total of ten counts including the original firearms charges and murder. Attorney Gerry Spence handled Weaver's defense, and argued successfully that Weaver's actions were justifiable as self-defense. The judge dismissed two counts after hearing prosecution witness testimony. The jury acquitted Weaver of all remaining charges except two, one of which the judge set aside. Weaver was found guilty of one count, failure to appear, for which Weaver was fined $10,000 and sentenced to 18 months in prison. He was credited with time served plus an additional three months, and was then released. Kevin Harris was acquitted of all criminal charges.
Gerry Spence, whatever else he may be, is at least a staunch defender of the Second Amendment right to self-defense, and did yeoman's work in the Weaver case...

Vote Trump!
