Yeah, why are the lawyers furious? Let's look at that.... 1: A group is trying to stop, or get control of a small quarry/mine. 2: A company is trying to get it thru the the long processes, courts, and maybe even get it to start the final engineering process to get to the BFS. 3: The Senators' appearance of conflict of interest. 4: Then there's Facebook sites arguing to ensure each side digs in. ....And the lawyers are furious about all their extra business? Yeah, I'm with you on the humour...like in the GIF below:

"Now we are supposed to believe that there a number of Bay street lawyers that are furious with the ethics commissioner"... I'd find it hard to believe that ever being an untrue statement... Queues lawyer jokes... What’s the difference between a vacuum cleaner and a lawyer riding a motorcycle? The vacuum cleaner has the dirt bag on the inside. What does a lawyer get when you give him Viagra? Taller. What do you call 25 skydiving lawyers? Skeet. Why does the bar association code of ethics prevent sex between lawyers and their clients? To prevent clients from being billed twice for essentially the same service. A young lawyer, defending a businessman in a lawsuit, feared he was losing the case and asked his senior partner if he should send a box of cigars to the judge to curry favor. The senior partner was horrified. “The judge is an honorable man,” he said, “If you do that, I guarantee you’ll lose the case!” Eventually, the judge ruled in the young lawyers favor. “Aren’t you glad you didn’t send those cigars?” the senior partner asked. “Oh, I did send them,” the younger lawyer replied. “I just enclosed my opponents business card with them.”
