I suppose. But hiring PC is inconsistent with idea that it wasn't designed to persuade (esp. after SBG stay vote in transgender)

it is a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in an emergency motion to SCOTUS

I'd ask
@mtdukes - here's a story he did in early Aug http://www.wral.com/legislature-s-legal-bills-top-9m-in-defense-of-state-laws/15905135/ … -
What's the question?
-
how much did it cost NC to pay Paul Clement to do his emergency SCOTUS petition in voter id case?
-
My data only went up through July 5, I'm afraid, so it didn't capture that invoice.

Paul Clement is known to do some government cases "pro bono" — like the House suit over Obamacare. Though this might not be that.

Who would turn down Obamacare - even pro-bono? You were almost guaranteed written into history.
