Am curious about who or what orgaizations are paying or will ultimately pay all the lawyers fees for the various court battles that will hopefully resolve the Presidential election.

Let's set a fixed dealdline of Dec. 15th. Whoever raises more money by that date wins the presidency. All money collected from both candidates will go to charity.

meant to ask this in original question..not having any real experience with lawyers,am wondering how much one of the lawyers would likely charge(recognizing this is very high profile),their interns/assistants etc,the expert witnesses etc..how many lawyers are employed by each side; surely someone has broken this down,any links are appreciated..

Some of them are probably doing it for free, figuring there's going to be a certain amount of prestige in being involved. (Not to mention a little preliminary sucking-up.)

...and maybe an appointment to a juicy judgship, or ambassadorial post, or the like. Even a ready ear to that lawyer's words during the administration (i.e. a lobby conduit) is damn valuable. Doesn't have to be billable hours they're working for.

Holding checkbook CLOSE to my heart.

I'm glad I'm not paying for them...from the looks of things they dont deserve any money at all for what they are doing.

What a disgrace.
