When you hire a law firm for $500,000 you have the right to expect them to be fierce legal advocates on your behalf. But not at King & Spalding. The law firm agreed to represent the US House of Representatives in defending our nation’s marriage law, defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The law was enacted by a large bi-partisan majority in both houses of Congress and signed by President Clinton. King & Spalding was to be paid up to $520 per hour and could collect as much as $500,000 to defend the law. However, as soon as gay marriage advocates complained, the firm abandoned their duty to represent their client – kicking the institution of marriage to the curb in their cowardly retreat from their professional obligation.
