Gay activists don’t believe in rights for everybody.
The majority of attorneys have the minds of snakes and the hearts of rabbits.
A conservative boycott of this law firm sounds appropriate.
Got that right.
Yet somehow I doubt that little POS that leaked Top Secret information (Bradly Manning?(SP)) will have any trouble finding a lawyer.
you realize, king and spalding have a husband
and wife team doing pro-bono work
for gitmo detainees. the husband feels
dick cheney is more of a threat to America
than terrorists.
Why was this firm retained to begin with? They are in the tank for homosexuals, it turns out.
The left is winning the argument, because they have most of the reporters, and most pundits, talking about the case as “politically incorrect”.
This isn’t a POLITICALLY INCORRECT CASE. This is a POLITICALLY CORRECT case. The majority of Americans SUPPORT DOMA, and want it to be upheld. The politically incorrect view is to refuse to defend a law that a majority of Americans support.
The comments to the WSJ article are certainly revealing of the confused leftist mindset.
One apparent homosexual activist declares that “the market has spoken” to justify the law firm backing out - of course everybody knows that threats, coercion, extortion and blackmail mean the same thing as “the market”.
Another mental Einstein posts about how when a lawyer and his/her client have an intractable conflict over how to prosecute a case, the lawyer can ethically withdraw from that case. That such a situation has nothing whatsoever to do with this specific situation evidently never crossed the leftard’s mind.
You see this a lot in discussions from the left - they will throw any possible line of argument into the mix, no matter how bogus or foolish, and then congratulate themselves for their own wisdom and intelligence.
The left provides a warm and comforting home to supposedly-educated people who in fact are strangers to critical thinking, logic and rationality.
“White shoe law firm”? That’s so gay...
Law firms far larger than that one have either withdrawn from a case or betrayed their clients in order not to offend a powerful agency.
As things now sand in this America of unlimited Federal power, only a lawyer who does not need to make money from being a lawyer can afford to cross the 800 pound gorilla.
And, America is running out of lawyers who are trust fund babies.
Pray for the Republic - the legal system castrati can’t/won’t help preserve it.
From what I understand, there was quite a bit of dissent within the firm. People were threatening to quit.
