I went to a top ten law school with a bunch of people who wanted to "do well while doing good."

They want to make hundreds of thousands a year, but they also want to feel good about themselves. This is a great opportunity for these people to feel like they are "serving the public interest." For many of them, throwing wrenches in the works to help the Democrats hold onto power is serving the public interest. They will gladly spend enough hours to feel good (perhaps 10-40 hours), and if it gets sticky and they get to go to court in a high-flying case, they gain good publicity.

You have to understand. These people work hard and make lots of money, and many feel like sellouts. This allows them to feel refreshed in their liberal activism credentials and good feeling.

For the plaintiff's lawyers, helping the Democrats is directly helping themselves financially. But what I am telling you is that even the crat lawyers who work for defense firms will be glad to help the cause, because it will make them feel good, even if it makes them no money at all, and costs them a little in lost billable hours.

For many, the most important thing is to keep the Constitutional right to kill their children at any time before birth. That is what this is about, for them.

28 states will still be using punchcard ballot papers this weekend.

It would probably make more sense to use the punch card ballots on election day, Tuesday Nov. 5th, instead of today (or yesterday). Did this reporter bother to check and see when elections would be held? Or, does the reportert know something that we don't...

They are not doing for anything but their own self-serving, slime sucking self-interest.

Yep.

Do you know what lawyers and sperm have in common? Every one in 10 million turns into a human being.
