Should have

Should have just called 911 and watched the dogs eat the kid until the police showed up. After all that's what libs want the general population to do.

Jury nullification anyone?

The ABA has endorsed Feinsteins AWB.......should give James Sokolov a new venue for filing suit.

Ha ha Sokolov...isn't he already everywhere? I haven't watched TV at 3:00 a.m. recently so I've probably missed Jimmy.

Big business needs 'em on a regular basis.

Some create, many (unfortunately) obfuscate...and a select few try to cut through the BS and really help others navigate the system. IME, there are good and bad like any profession. YMMV.

Really? You believe this? I hope the day never comes when you need an attorney.

I've got an SF friend, current attorney, and I've called on him more than once... and never regretted it. (He doesn't look like much anymore, but get him in a courtroom, and the SF is 'front and center'!)

With that line of thinking I say we sue our representatives for negligence. I mean they are the ones who got us in this mess and continue to do so. It's the same thing in my book.

At least we should be able to sue many of them for breach of contract. They all lied to get elected (made verbal contracts) and once elected let the country go to hell in a hand basket. Many of them didn't do 1/4 of what they promised/contracted to do.

Umm, the Congressman's District. Now how did I guess that?
Quote:
California’s 28th Congressional District

Stretching from West Hollywood to the eastern border of Pasadena, and from Echo Park to the Angeles National Forest, the 28th Congressional district features one of the most diverse constituencies and areas in the country, something that can only be found right in the heart of Los Angeles County.

I was thinking more along the lines of, if I decide not to pay my Affordable Care Act tax (or other federal taxes), can the legislative branch (or PBO himself) be liable since he/they "made" the taxes?

No liability...no accountability...no problem.
