First off, I didn't say the ACLU was going to weigh in on this. However, they defend non-members if they believe the government is assaulting the principles of their charter. They don't require you to carry their membership card to benefit from their services. They likely won't go near 2257, but at least they don't muscle people last minute on membership fees.
Second of all, I believe the FSC is a NON-PROFIT institution. Am I wrong? Non-profits muscling for pay like a private lawyer is bullshit.
Thirdly, I have never had a problem paying lawyers or anyone else for their services, so don't lump me in with penny pinching freeloaders. I have paid out over three thousand in the last three years for private and business lawyers fees. Another $1500 was paid last week.
I do take offense at a non-profit acting like a for-profit institution. If they aren't a non-profit, then I am wrong. If they ARE a non-profit don't make excuses for them wanting to make extra coin. If they wanted to make it all about the money, they should have gone into private practice and pay the same tax rate as any other bunch of lawyers.
