I haven't done "real" legal work in about 10 years. But when I dealt with those guys they were always really arrogant assholes.
The thing is these DOJ pussies whine about everything, and when you're in the kind of fight Im in, challenging a public law as unconstitutional, the judges bend over backwards to give the Gov. everything they want. I can't even start to list all the bullshit that has happened so far.
This con law case I'm doing has so far, over 2.5 years, been in four different courts and 5 different judges, and I have gotten ruled against on every motion I have filed, yet the DOJ gets ALL of their motions granted no matter what-pisses me off.
This case is finally at the 9th circuit-where it needs to be, and the DOJ won't get any extra shit there. I hope I win, so I can send a fuck you letter to the trial judge after this is all over.
Of course if this thing gets remanded back to the trial court to fix any of the many things that went wrong there I might have to kill myself. I can't take much more of this.
