National Organization For Marriage Loses Again In Court

Several months back, the ironically named National Organization for Marriage lost a lawsuit filed against the government, having alleged that the NOM's donor info had been illegally leaked to the HRC by the federal government.

The government did award NOM $50,000 for the "unintentional disclosure" but it was approximately 23% of what they asked for at the time - which was over $217K.

After losing, NOM asked the court to award the haters money to the tune of $700K for "attorney's fees."

Today, the Federal District Court in Virginia told NOM "tough titty." No money for you.

From the ruling:

For the reasons stated above, in strictly construing the fee-award statute in favor of the Government, the Court will deny NOM’s Motion in its entirety.

Accordingly, the Court need not address the reasonableness of NOM’s $691,025.05 fee request.
