I don’t have an atty yet, and I don’t have much money, but what I have I will give to you.
I need someone tough, hard working and willing to go up against the ARDC.
You would think this is easy. All I did was blog. We have a right to Free Speech under the US and Illinois Constitutions.
Want a blogging case, a case to go up to the US Supreme Court? Want to have fun poking at the belly of the (corrupt) underbeast in Illinois? This could be your case. Your cup of tea.
You will have to read and know all the best quotes from SCOTUS first amendment cases and esp. Citizens United that says content oriented speech is protected by the First Amendment no matter what is said. Plus New York Times, plus Alvarez, etc.
You will have to put up with an ARDC that says I have a right to discovery only AFTER the trial/evidentiary hearing–only then IF I need it, I have a right to dispositive motions only AFTER the trial/evidentiary hearing (anyone point out to them this is effectively a ban on those, after the hearing are POST judgment motions, duh), etc.
It is litigation and due process rights clearly turned upside down.
And they do this to lawyers speaking out about corruption.
Come on, go ahead and prove your manliness. Step up to the plate in the big leagues. Turn those chicken nuggets brass. And for all you chick lawyers out there that want to prove you are one tough hot shot chick lawyer, this is your case. Honesty, ethics, the American Flag, all wrapped up in one convenient package.
And if no one responds to this post, there’s always Craig’s list for lawyers. Or I just go native.
Done it so far. Stomped apparently on a lot of last nerves. Picked a lot of scabs, seen a lot of septicemia. BUT I know I can get through this.
Many lawyers are on our side of justice, honor and ethics. It’s just they won’t go up against the ARDC.
Hear that. Lived it. But I keep on going.
Let me know. I’m looking for expert witnesses on corruption in courts (it’s okay if you experienced it) and Constitutional Law. Maybe you need to read those con law cases you slept thru.
thanks
