WASHINGTON — The stacks of Supreme Court briefs filed on both sides of the same-sex marriage cases to be heard this month are roughly the same height. But they are nonetheless lopsided: There are no major law firms urging the justices to rule against gay marriage.
Leading law firms are willing to represent tobacco companies accused of lying about their deadly products, factories that spew pollution, and corporations said to be complicit in torture and murder abroad. But standing up for traditional marriage has turned out to be too much for the elite bar. The arguments have been left to members of lower-profile firms.

Big Business made the difference in gay marriage. Big business is pushing most of the left’s agenda.
The system is broken when some causes are unable to secure council.
How can these professionals deny service to religious people???
Ain’t it the truth.
The big business/government complex is going full bore.
Government is for sale to the highest bidder and big business has a fat checkbook.

The fix is in on homosexual marriage. And part of that is that law firms know they will be blacklisted, if they defend traditional marriage.,
Even though there is a case to be made for traditional marriage, firms don’t want to touch this due to political correctness, and concerns about future business. Homosexuals and liberals will have long memories about who was with them and who was against them.
Homosexual marriage + Homosexual divorce = PROFIT
It’s the morality involved. No firm wants to resort to the Bible as the final arbiter of moral justice in this case. Too hot to handle. Spineless whimps.
Of course no big law firm is opposing gay marriage. In their eyes gay marriage = gay divorce = more attorney fees.
Cases like this are not money makers, but rather loss leaders.
You will a big case at the SCOTUS, your career is set.
WIll the majority of Homosexual DIvorce Lawyers..in fact Be “homosexuals”?
The Fall On MSNBC:
“Homo Divorce Court!!
I think law firms can serve whoever they want to serve. Are you opposed to liberty?
Leftists control most big business.
Why are artists not entitled to the same liberty that slimeball lawyers are afforded?
Top liberal lawfirms won’t go there but Top Conservative lawfirms will defend what the liberals won’t
They’re just following the lead of Milton, Chadwick & Waters on this case. If that law firm won’t do it, no other Big Law Firms will either.
I don’t know - but two wrongs don’t make a right.
Its weird, but I think I’ve lost faith in this entire system. We’d have been better off under a Christian monarch. Sorry, George, you got a bad rap.
