Enforcement of our nation's civil rights laws depends on attracting qualified lawyers to fight government agencies with endless resources on behalf of ordinary people who cannot afford legal services...
And if we are such lousy lawyers, how did we manage to beat the city's militia of lawyers, including three of the biggest of the "megafirms" in town?
They did what they set out to do. They won. Pay up.

Even worse David. If it looks like the government lawyers are losing the case many times a judge (another government lawyer) will allow the government lawyers play legal games ring up a much higher legal bill for the citizen to break them.
This kind of crap happens all the time so do we get a fair day in court. Yes, it can happen sometimes.
I just love what Gura said at the end:
"If the city doesn't want to pay civil rights lawyers' fees, it should obey the Constitution. Freedom isn't free."
Sums it up perfectly.
This scam shouldn't exist in the first place. It was put in place by good communis...uhhh...progresiv....uhhmmmmm...liberals, like the those at the ACLU.
Now then, whats good for the goose is good for the gander, right?
