Given the nature of this case, which is generally the kinds of cases these groups take, explain to me what you are thinking of, that would represent a legal situation a Christian in todays world finds himself in, that would not constitute a “good” case/be a “lost cause” case? I can’t think of one. Certainly none of the articles we see here about Christians having to go to court to protect their religious rights, they are not small cases or “lost cause” cases.
I would believe if it is a “small” case, these probably ARE the cases where Liberty Counsel just has to send a letter and the other side backs down.

You should read the news more often if you really can’t think of any “lost cause” situations. They aren’t cases, because no one is dumb enough to take them on.
I think that you are confusing a “good cause” (as seen by a Christian with no legal ability to fight it) with a “good case” (as seen by a Christian lawyer who understands the way the law works, as opposed to the way it works on TV).
Those “small” cases where a letter can make the other side back down are BIG cases to the other side, who also has the ability to send a letter and they do so with amazing success. The magic letter only works in situations with well-established case law and favorable precedents. The magic letter does not set precedents.
So a precedent is not set until both sides are willing to go to court and take it to the end. Then, the winner gets a favorable precedent. So, two opposing and competent attorneys are not going to fall for bluffs or posturing. But, they might agree to some settlement to prevent a loss. However, if one side has a good case, then he would be a fool to offer a settlement and and lose an opportunity for setting a precedent.
