Hewitt is a well-trained, deeply experienced lawyer. A skillful lawyer can take either side of an argument, without your being able to detect what he really believes.
Interesting responses, all.
Hawthorn, I know what you mean, but he didn’t give any indication he was playing Devil’s Advocate.
To me this just proves that lawyers are all trained to become "devils advocates," and even the Devil's advocate!!!
It sounds exactly like (Satan addressing Eve): "You shall not surely die!"
I'm shocked by this because even though I realize HH is an establishment (R), he has done much good legal work in defeating GANG-GREEN, (the new embodiment of Commonism in America) in the courtrooms of CA where it is most needed.
One must always remember that what's legal is not always moral, honest or the least bit reasonable or proper.
All I know is when I stand before that throne on Judgment Day, I don’t want Hugh as my lawyer.
