Z praktyki prawniczej: nie mieć wystarczających podstaw do obrony->nie popierać. Z tego wywodzi się:nie być zwolennikiem->nie lubić->nie znosić
"'hold no brief for'
To have or express an unfavorable opinion of: deprecate, discountenance, disesteem, disfavor, frown on, object. Idioms: not go for, take a dim view of, take exception to.
In law a brief is a formal outline that sets forth the main contentions with supporting statements or evidence. So if you hold no brief then you have no support."

"Oh, I hold no brief for Ellen: blind romantic fool who had only youth and inexperience to excuse her even if that; blind romantic fool, then later blind woman mother fool when she no longer had either youth or inexperience to excuse her..."
