Marcus: The wrong way to fight DOMA

Full story: The Washington Post

It's easy to beat up on a big corporate law firm for acting cravenly in its financial self-interest. In the case of King & Spalding, the Atlanta firm that abruptly reneged on its commitment to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, the pummeling is entirely deserved.

Homosexual "civil rights" should be diminished because as has been the case for thousands of years, homosexual behavior should be criminal and criminals have diminished "civil rights." Homosexuals are going to find out they can not change human nature, even by intentionally invading the Catholic Church to molest young men.

The slick homosexuals and Liberals on Topix periodically attempt to misrepresent Catholic priests and the Catholic Church with spurious allegations of "child abuse" and libelous assertions. The overwhelming majority of abuse claims were in fact against maturing young men, thus homosexuals were the culprits. Homosexuals took over Catholic seminaries, produced priests and used their basically stolen credentials to place homosexual "priests" in various diocese. Although molesting the young men was a important part of their lust and betrayal, the real issue was to diminish the Catholic Church because of their Biblical stance against homosexuality. These conspiracies of various queen run homosexuals began in the 1950s, which gives some insight into how they were able to perform so many young men molestations over the decades.

If it's a gay board in a gay section, then you should keep it there and not periodically infect US News with it.

Oh my God! Are you for real??? Invading the Catholic Church??? and by the way, homosexuality is a God given human nature, just for a small percentage of humanity. All human deserve respect (read your Catechism). Lastly, for the record, don't confuse pedophelia with homosexuality. Try not to speak like a morin, will ya?

I actually agree with the article (gasp!!!).

There will ALWAYS be a scum-bucket law firm/lawyer willing to take a case like this, especially if, as it appears to be the case here, the client is promising half a million dollars "and then renegotiate" after that. In law firm lingo, that means, "there's no end to the money we'll throw at you, but we can't let the people paying the tab know the total price tag or they won't let us do it."

The pressure should have been put on Boner and his cronies to quit pandering to their hate-mongering "base" and simply walk away from legislation that is clearly unconstitutional. We know it, they know it, the lawyers know it, even most of the hate-mongers know it. But there are literally BILLIONS of dollars at stake, both in legal feels and political donations from hate groups, in defending this case. And Boner and his cronies aren't willing to walk away from all that cash (yet).

We're wasting our resources beating up on law firms for taking this case. There will ALWAYS be one in line right behind every one we convince to drop it.

Our time needs to be spent pressuring the lawmakers that are perpetuating this fraud on the public to stop wasting taxpayers' money attacking our families.

Oh don't even attempt to portray the Catholic church as the victim! These are pedophiles who are CREATED by the church's distorted views on sex. What do you think is going to happen to prepubescent children if you constantly portray homosexuality as evil for which they will burn in hell for all eternity, refuse to discuss their questions about sex openly and honestly, and then insist that ONLY young men may serve the church as priests and altar boys and have to do so only if they take a vow to remain chaste by never, ever, having sex during their entire lifetime?! I'll tell you -- you create large numbers of social misfits who agonize in secret over their natural sexual orientation and become completely warped in the process!

Instead, the church should accept the scientific findings that homosexuality is as normal as nature itself, that men and women are equal, that there is nothing impure about sex as such, and that imposing mandatory celibacy is unnatural.(Those are the changes relevant to this discussion, but by no means the only errors the church should correct!)

But to blame the church's scandals on a vast homosexual conspiracy shows how deluded you are! Do you really think a thirteen year old boy who starts experiencing his own sexual orientation is going to say to himself, "I know what I'll do, ten years from now when I'm all grown up, I'll enter the priesthood, and over the next 20 to 30 years I shall have secret sex with multiple young male parishioners, thereby contributing to an international scandal just to disgrace the church." Are you just plain stupid?

That's the problem with you christians -- you have believed lies for so long that you can no longer even tell the difference between reality and delusion!

So letting clients and potential employees of this law firm know what they are defending is somehow henious? I think it's called truth in advertising. Anyone who would knowingly and willingly defend this ugly law while claiming to be gay friendly gets what it deserves. I won't buy Jamaican rum or Domino's pizza by virtue of knowledge of each one's heinous behavior. Don't tell me that I'm somehow evil for having these standards.

>But strong-arming the lawyer to drop or avoid the unpopular client is not an acceptable tactic.

The author of that article is a total idiot.

The issue, in the legal community, is not merely whether that firm or that particular lawyer, Clement, should be punished for taking a disgusting case. That happens all the time, with the bigot Boy Scouts being defended in Philly, or with firms defending tobacco or asbestos, or with lawyers defending serial killers.

The issue was _the gag order imposed on all employees_ of the firm regarding any discussion of the disgusting legal case. That's the issue, that's why the (informed) criticism, that's why the firm backed out. The ethics counsel at the firm swore in a letter to the court that there were significant ethical issues preventing the firm from proceeding.

Now, reading between the lines, not all of the partners at the firm were initially aware of the gag provisions in the contract with the bigots in the House. They soon were made aware of those provisions, and, from the wider legal community, of the unacceptable nature of those gag provisions.

There is no client on trial here. If there were, it would be entirely appropriate for any law firm to defend that client, regardless of whether he/she was perceived to be guilty or not. If you disagree, go ahead ... name the entity that is on trial here.

No, what is on trial is a law, and no-one needs to feel any civic duty to defend an unjust law. If you do, you can expect to be tainted by the same bigotry that created the law in the first place.

If the Third Reich law which placed Jews and homosexuals in concentration camps were to go on trial today, I dare any reasonable-minded person to take the position that such a law deserved to be defended in court!

It's time to end the christian madness!!!

Hopefully, your linked service also gives reparative therapy to homosexual perverts.

Homosexuals invading and taking over Catholic seminaries and using them to place perverts across America is well established fact.

Homosexuals also used terroristic threatening in California to get money and the sociopath homosexuals listened to their public, televised call to intentionally infect heterosexuals with HIV/AIDS. Homosexuals have been arrested under new laws that were passed to deal with the intentional infection of others.

Homosexuals are mentally and very often physically diseased.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Aquarius

Someone is confused and muddled today, making it difficult to talk for long without becoming equally bemused. Avoid making decisions or researching important information, because there's a strong possibility of getting crossed wires, or talking at cross purposes. A memory may also be distorted now, leading to mix-ups or bewilderment.
