There are right wing lawyers, though commonly lawyers are liberals! It's not for the fees, that's for sure!

Honestly, it's amazing to me that they haven't been hit with Rule 11 sanctions yet.

Wonder how much longer that will last?

Both The Atlantic and Newsweek had pieces on this today.

That's what Rule 11 is for. When you are not filing to recover anything, but for some other reason, to intimidate or annoy or in this case, to get publicity. These lawyers don't realize that?
