There's a joke I like to tell...
I once met a chick at a bar. We had a really nice conversation so before she left for the night she handed me her business card.
"Oh, so you're a lawyer," I said noticing the letters P.A. after her name.
"No," she said. "I'm Passive-Aggressive."I think that's where our buddy Gothmog must be.
Keep in mind this is the same condescending asshole who had this conversation about Hillary's email back in May 2016:

15. Not in the real world
I love it when laypersons attempt to understand legal concepts. In the real world, there is no risk of this due to a lack of mens rea or culpable mental state.

21. Your analysis is simply wrong and shows why it is illegal for layperson to attempt to practice law
Again, lawyers do love to laugh at laypersons when they make really sad mistakes on the law. In the real world, there is no intent and so there will be no indictment.

29. It is so cute and adorable when laypersons get it wrong on legal issues
Again, failed attempts to understand the law show why it is illegal for laypersons to attempt to practice law. thanks for the laughs

39. Lawyers love laughing at laypersons when they show their inability to understand concepts
It is a source of great amusement

41. No super delegate is going to change their votes based on the silly claims by laypersons
The premise of this thread is really sad and wrong
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512073887Fast forward to today where BrothelDog offers this immediately-to-be-slapped-down idea to circumvent the Electoral College...

39. I favor the interstate treaty/compact for the National popular vote
If states with 270 electoral votes sign this treaty then the winner of the popular vote will always be POTUS http://www.nationalpopularvote.com/ I have read up on this issue and this type of agreement among the states is enforceable and will work
The nice thing is that the GOP in congress cannot block it and there is no need to amend the US Constitution

45. That will be found unconstitutional under the Compact Clause unfortunately
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028443509Shitty lawyer or layperson poseur?
You be the judge.
