Okay, So Why Are We Paying Lawyers in The Office?

Okay, so Attorney General Greg Abbott has hot and cold running lawyers in his office, all of whom are on that dreaded taxpayer dole, which I’m sure is embarrassing to them since they are opposed to taxpayers doles, but apparently they couldn’t get jobs in private enterprise because ….

….. they obviously have no idea how to practice law.

Abbott hired Paul Clement, a noted Supreme Court advocate, to help his office with the case (at a rate of $520 an hour, which he called “a steep discount”). Clement worked with Abbott on a lawsuit over the display of the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the state Capitol.

So we taxpayers are paying some writ twit $520 an hour to screw us.

I have an odd idea.  Next time, let’s elect an Attorney General who has been to court before.

Be social and share!
