King and Spalding Lose Clients Over Unethical Behavior

I blogged a few days ago (See here.) about the law firm, King and Spalding, that was supposed to represent Congress in the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) case. The law firm backed out after pressure from the gay lobby. Paul Clement, the lawyer designated to fight the battle, resigned over the firm's cowardly and unethical actions. But the story isn't over. Some high profile K & S clients (the NRA and the state of Virginia) are dissing the firm as untrustworthy. Read about it and cheer! Those who turn tail and run when the going gets tough deserve nothing but a good hefty boot in the derriere to speed them along their yellow road!

Anti-DOMA law firm loses two clients

Two Thumbs Up for Paul Clement: He Won't Bow to "Gay" Intimidation

This story sounds a loud warning for the future. "Gay" activists rule. They will intimidate and destroy you if you oppose their agenda. King and Spalding, the law firm hired by the Republicans to defend DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) pulled out of the case after intimidation and threats from the sodomite community. As a result, Paul D. Clement, the lawyer selected to represent the case, has resigned from the firm. Here's the scoop from LifeSiteNews:

Clement, a former solicitor general of the United States under President George W. Bush, immediately resigned from King & Spalding and will continue to represent the House of Representatives in the case.

As The New York Times reported, Clement said: “I resign out of the firmly held belief that a representation should not be abandoned because the client’s legal position is extremely unpopular in certain quarters. … Defending unpopular clients is what lawyers do. I recognized from the outset that this statute implicates very sensitive issues that prompt strong views on both sides. But having undertaken the representation, I believe there is no honorable course for me but to complete it.”

Honorable men still walk the earth! Two thumbs down for the cowards at King and Spalding; two thumbs up for Paul Clement!
