You do realize he was only arguing the case for a client? Hell Ted Olsen was defendeing Matt Cooper last week.
The question for me is: do the cases he handled for Reagan/Bush reflect his views? Or is the TRPA case a better representation of his views? On the surface, I'd think that TRPA would come closer to representing his views, b/c he probably had some choice about taking that case. I assume the govt cases were probably just assigned to him. Does anyone know if that's a correct assumption on my part?
To try to equate a lawyers personal views to what cases is an exercise in futility. It is like asking a skunk not to stink. Lawyers take cases and advocate for clients.
