      It’s FFRF lawyers though. They are already working at well below the high salaries that people typically associate with lawyers. They have these jobs because they believe in these causes and are trying to help the public.

      Besides, the plantiff wasn’t seeking to cash in on the situation, they just wanted equal rights/benefits to be provided for all religious groups, which it sounds like they got.

      They got everything the satanic temple wanted, and they’re just costs. This wasn’t ever about the money, it was about making sure the constitution was followed.

      People get mad at good points. I remember when Experian compromised millions of people’s private information. Apparently my SSN leaked forever is worth $7.

        It’s apparent that our data security was second only in priority to quarterly earnings.

        How this isn’t a cruelty case is beyond me.

        Uhh I didn’t say that.

        Idk, maybe 90/10 would be a good look.

        Not 99.95/00.05

        Just a thought idk. Maybe too progressive sorry.

          The temple specifically fights for $1 only. It’s not about the money and the lawyer fees aren’t a percentage in this case.

          Thats how taking on nonprofit legal council works. ST wasn’t trying to make money, just pay the wages of the lawyers.

          So you just think the temple should have asked for more? I don’t think that’s what they’re in it for.

          That’s saying that they can’t be paid for cases that don’t have money on the line.
