I just sat there and I was stunned. If you're a lawyer and you don't expect to prevail - then you don't take the suit to the court.
The guy just admitted to engaging in vexatious litigation.
Could ACLU have just set itself up to be a baby seal looking up at a Canadian Club, knowing the WHOMP is coming - and there's nothing they can do about it?
"The guy just admitted to engaging in vexatious litigation."
Yes he did - and I believe that's why Bill was so upset with him (Bill being a lawyer himself).
In the 7 years I worked for very prestigious lawfirms in downtown San Diego - they never took a case to court unless they were confident they would win. I can remember working on several cases where our lawyers advised the client to settle - because if they tried to take it to court they were sure to lose far more.
ACLU - I believe - takes issues to court just to make a point and I also believe that they do not expect to prevail. The fact that they do tells me there are a lot of people intimidated by this group - and it's got to stop.
