Doug-- what are "snigger quotes" I'm not kidding. Never seen the phrase before. Sounds condescending to me, but it may be because I've never heard the expression before.

Without the snigger quotes, this happens in nearly all fee-shifting cases, which includes nearly all civil rights cases -- not just religious civil rights cases. Attorneys take these cases for the fee the court ultimately awards. And that was what Congress expected and hoped for when it included the fee provisions in the statutes.
