re: #21 BishopX

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand DOMA is an offensive piece of law that should be taken out back and set on fire, but on the other hand the US is uses an adversarial justice system, and attacking lawyers and law firms that defend wrong, evil pieces of shit weakens the system.

I feel that attacking lawyers for who their clients are is out of line.

I’m not attacking the lawyer - I’m attacking his rationalization for choosing to defend DOMA.

This case is different from a criminal case where even the lowest POS must and should have representation. Clement is defending an unjust law, not a person. And his rationalization is crap.
