Thinking about donating to the ACLU?

Attorneys who represented the plaintiffs in the Hazleton immigration case filed court papers this afternoon seeking nearly $2.4 million in attorneys fees and costs.

In a 25 page brief, 37 attorneys from seven different law firms and legal organizations say they are entitled to the money to compensate them for the thousands of hours they spent interviewing plaintiffs, defendants and preparing voluminous court filings for the case.

There's a list of some of those involved in last year's case here ( http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/005424.html ); I think it's safe to assume that the "legal organizations" include at least the ACLU and perhaps the PRLDEF as well.

The city will probably appeal the amount, but even if it's reduced this will serve as a disincentive to those other cities who might consider adopting similar ordinances. And, that will enable even more illegal immigration. Wouldn't those lawyers feel better about themselves if they worked for law firms that ran daytime TV ads for those who "slip and fall"?
