That is making an assumption that "all their clients" are RW loons. If anything, like you see happening with Target vs Costco or Xitter vs Blue Sky, "taking a stand" can NET customers too.

I don't buy that argument as the vast majority of many of these law firms is necessarily "government business". There are PLENTY of corporate criminal and civil work to be done and of course the most profitable tends to be the class action suits.
