Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.
There's no rule.
Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.
Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.

Are people who cite the 2nd Amendment honestly familiar with what it establishes?
Whence the <ea> I cannot say but some other words that were spelled <ai> in French are spelled <ea> in English: aise → ease, graisse → grease, fait → feat.
