I don't know much about Sekulow, so I don't want to criticize him. But I too have been deeply troubled by all the Monday morning quarterbacking by other "love to get my face on TV" lawyers picking apart the Schindlers' case.

I do have firsthand knowledge of the organization Gibbs volunteers through, and they are consistently on the frontlines defending pro-lifers in all those small cases that don't seem to attract enough publicity to arouse the interest of some of the big-timers. The only fault I've seen is that sometimes the attorneys who volunteer are experts in different areas of law than the one they are helping in. That could be the case with Gibbs, I don't know. But when you are someone desperate out there who needs legal help, you are grateful to have good attorneys on your side. To me, the onus was on all these brilliant conservative litigators to jump in and volunteer. If the attention of Congress and the President are grabbed to the point that they go to extraordinary lengths to pass special laws, where were these brilliant attorneys?

If later on, we find out that Gibbs turned down help, then I may have to change my mind. But as it is, I'm angry that those with experience going to the Supreme Court didn't jump in and offer help rather than criticism.

Thanks for your insight. Yes. That's it.

20/20 hindsight from the other lawyers.

I have great respect for Gibbs because his heart went ahead of his pocketbook.

I think it's not only unkind for the other lawyers to be henpecking now, but it's unprofessional.

I find it especially nauseating that Sekulow spoke so callously without emotion about this case - when on Sean Hannity. I'm sure others noticed it too. I can't give details, but he has a history.....but he's good at creating a good media image and unfortunately, that's what most people look at nowadays.
