12. I looked up his lawyer, and he's a big deal and no dipshit

He does fancy lawyering, for sure! For all the creepy right wing groups, pushing their agendas.
He's a conservative loyalist and activist, and his wikipedia page mentioned his notable work was for the case citizens united vs FEC. He's got gravitas.

Bopp is known for his staunch social conservatism,[6][7] and his past and present clients are "a who's who of social conservatism," including the Traditional Values Coalition, the Home School Legal Defense Association, Concerned Women for America, and the Federation for American Immigration Reform.[7] He has been the general counsel for National Right to Life since 1978, the James Madison Center for Free Speech since 1997, and as the special counsel for Focus on the Family since 2004.[8] Bop was the editor of Restoring the Right to Life: The Human Life Amendment, a book promoting the Human Life Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to overturn Roe v. Wade and ban abortion.[9]

I find it interesting he has such a connected lawyer, not surprised.
I'm trying to follow this because cawthorn was elected in my district, but I refuse to call him my representative.

Thanks for posting this.
