What? Why?

I really do not understand why. Cloudflare only gave me a week to intervene and get counsel. I have asked them to delay. Everyone I've contacted law firm wise say they're not in a position to help. I've also contacted the EFF and they've provided recommendations to me who have turned out not to be able to help for various reasons. There's been a few on holiday, some say they've not got enough time, or too much work on.
They are probably all avoiding getting dragged into a libel or defamation case and think you won't pay them.
Normally lawyers expect payment up front. All I want is a motion to quash.
ORG (Open Rights Group) as a UK org might provide good recommendations.
Thanks I will contact them. I've lost count of how many organisations I've contacted. This lies with Cloudflare really to bat it back and say this isn't right.
Presumably for the same reason that publicly feminist lawyers are not in a position to defend accused rapists regardless of the strength of the accusation.
I might be missing some context, but this seems a bit unhinged? What do you mean?
