Wh**ever one thinks of lawyers, they are pretty smart about only taking cases that they either know they can win or that have a lot of $$ attached to them. Neither is the situation in the fight against marriage e******y. Smart cookies.

The United States has a little more than 75% of the world's lawyers and only 8% of the world's population. More than 60% of congress either are or were attorneys. Add to that an ignorant, apathetic e*****rate who can name the judges on "American Idol," but not the Justices on the Supreme Court. They can tell you how their favorite football team is faring, but not how their Congressman v**ed last week. Frequently, the name and party affiliation of their representatives are unknown.
It is a God's wonder anyone has any rights left.
On the plus side, bear in mind that the Revolutionary War was fought and won by barely one percent of the population.

All excellent points.
And I forgot to include the joke about an attorney and a catfish.......

Loki Loc: Georgia

There is a difference: One is a scum-sucking bottom feeder, and the other, a fish. Lawyers wear neckties in the courtroom to hold down the foreskin.
