An ancient legal cliché:

If the facts are on your side, argue the facts.

If the law is on your side, argue the law.

If neither the facts or the law is on your side, pound the table.

[cherry]

if you have the facts, pound the facts, if you have the law, pound the law, if you have neither, pound the table.....

perfect explanation of todays politics.

and often, pounding the table produces just as much as the other two, maybe more...
