Most people prioritize their finances (and non-imprisonment) over their rights, and attorneys will optimize for that expressed preference. GP has clearly indicated his priorities are different. That has nothing to do with intelligence. Someone having a different set of values than you does not constitute unintelligence on his part.
- kube-system 2mo agoGP said they wanted to take it to court. I presume that means they wanted to win, in which case the best strategy is to discuss the issue in private with an attorney before making public statements that could undermine your ability to win. If the actual priority here is advocacy, with no real desire to litigate, then I'd buy that.
- JoshTriplett 2mo agoExactly. More power to anyone who wants to fight this. But if the goal is to win that fight, do a better job of fighting, rather than acting like "oh, I have a structure that prevents me from complying" will somehow magically make a court go "eh, nothing we can do".
- lrvick 2mo agoI am calling a bluff as a form of advocacy. There will never actually be any litigation because this law is a joke and should be treated as such.
