Loony academic leftist Francis Boyle (last seen at LGF trying to impeach President Bush) has offered to represent the mullahs of Iran if they sue the US in the International Court of Justice.
TEHRAN, July 22 (UPI) — A University of Illinois law professor says he has offered to represent Iran if it decides to sue the United States over threatened nuclear program sanctions.
Iran’s Press TV reported Tuesday that Francis Boyle, an international law expert, is urging Iranian leaders to sue Israel and the United States through the International Court of Justice in The Hague over their ultimatum that Iran freeze its nuclear enrichment program in a matter of weeks or face further sanctions.
If Iran decides to sue, he told the broadcaster, he would represent the country.
“My proposal was that Iran should sue these states immediately, convene an emergency hearing by the World Court, and ask the court to indicate provisional measures of protection on behalf of Iran against the United States, Israel and the EU-3 — basically a temporary restraining order,” Boyle said.
Boyle is a hardcore pacifist who likes to hang around with murderers and dictators; he’s a former legal representative for the PLO, and is good friends with Muammar Gaddafi. And unsurprisingly, he’s also known for comparing Israel to Nazi Germany.

Yet another lawyer doing what lawyers are paid to do.
Heny VI: “ First thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”.quote
I didn’t say it.
Lawyers = Greed $$$$$$$$$$$$$
This guy should be thrown out of the country.
I immediately thought the lawyer would be Ramsey Clark. I guess he is busy with some terrorist rights issues.
Here’s his book:

Mohamed Elmasry
Elmasry is same one who filed a complaint to the Ontario Human Rights Commission against Steyn.

A law suit like this, even if won, is unenforceable.
