Yes. Ellis Rubin has a reputation of destroying his clients cases in his quest for media attention. He is a media prostitute. He had the famous nymphomaniac sherrif's wife case. What should have been a quiet slap on the wrist with her pimp husband uneventlfully resigning, turned into a media circus which was detrimental to his clients and pushed the prosecutor into an hard take position on the case.
The real issue on the case will be who is the judge.
FYI the Michael Adam who is refered to in the article is also a south florida law professor. I wonder if he is using law students as free labor (with students getting credit)...
(homosexual rights groups are engaged in a $$ turf war, that much sounds correct to expect.)
The good news is that if Rubin's incompetence sustains the Federal DMA it will keep homosexual marriage from spreading. Remember the 11th US DCA is the one which upheld the challenge (third challenge after two state court homosexual failures, I believe)to FL prohibition of homosexuals adopting children.
Having Rubin on the opposition is good for you.
