[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 76295574, member: 123415"] I don't think you're being very sympathetic to just how hard it is to be a straight white billionaire in this country. They're the REAL victims here! In all seriousness, lawyers are steering clear of it, because lawyers are smart lol. They're good at manipulation and telling people things that are advantageous to their goals, but they're not going to willingly take on something that's a guaranteed "fail" if they have higher career aspirations. A good example would be the popular right-wing pundit Ben Shapiro (a Harvard Law graduate). While a lot of people disagree with his political preferences, and many of his talking points...one thing you can't say about the guy is "he's dumb". He'll "own the libs" whenever he gets the chance. Yet, when there's something (even if it's a pro-conservative cause) that he knows is a guaranteed failure, his lawyer instincts kick in, he hedges his bets and uses that as an opportunity and spins it to his own advantage to say "see, I'll criticize conservatives too" and railed against the "stolen election" claims, bashed the Jan 6th perpetrators. Much like he espouses pro-vaccine views that go against what many of his staunch conservative viewership believes. In the case of lawyers, I get the vibe that many are in the "Only take on the causes you know you can win first, ideology second" camp. [/QUOTE]
