These lawyers are not acting in private practice. They are not representing even nominally actual clients.

All these lawyers hold public office, either appointed or elected.

They are representing “the people”, or “the voters”.

Their asinine filings of lawsuits and legislative bills are attempts to score political points, not attorney fees for themselves.

This has got to be the stupidest money grab by lawyers I have ever seen.

In reply to Rupert. Putting aside the merits, I think people are underestimating the fury that is going to take hold of this country with respect to the actions of the Chinese government. I know that the vast majority of Americans can separate the Chinese government from people of Chinese descent. Let's hope that ALL Americans can do so.

As an attorney and a Missouri resident, I have not seen any comments from other attorneys or Missouri residents that depart from “the suit is kind of embarrassing, a waste of money, and I don’t think they can do that.”
