Random comics thought

The one thing I never got about the X-Men is how periodically they have to disappear when the X-Mansion is destroyed (again) and the anti-mutant hysteria gets too high.

Haven't these people ever heard of lawyers?

Do they have even the vaguest definition of "Hate Crime?" available to them?

Dude, your teacher is one of the most powerful telepaths on the planet. (At least when he's on the planet and not faking his death or just being a dick.) You can call in favors from some of the biggest superteams in the world. How hard can it be to gather enough evidence and sue the government for racial discrimination every time a new anti-mutant initiative starts working its way through congress again?

I have to go with the Doylist explanation and say that "Volume 37 of the X-men's epic legal battle", in which none of your favorite mutants actually is seen to use their signature abilities, but instead sit around in a courtroom listening to page after page after page of interminable testimony is probably not going to be flying off the comic store's shelves.
