Right.
And there's another profession that dominates either body like that one?
And lawyers have no lobbying firms.
Agree. People are stupid. The sheep have been conditioned to believe that lawyers are most qualified to legislate.
Since you have the stats how many judges are lawyers? How many supreme court justices? How many presidents had law degrees? It's a huge incestuous bog.
There was a time that lawyers served the law. Now they parse it, look for hidden meanings in the word "is" and twist the law to protect the scum of the earth.
I give less of a fuck about woosies rights since he chose to deprive others of their right to life.
I miss "shoot on sight" orders.
I used to hold the law and those who serve it in the highest regard. I'm disgusted by the current bunch who aspire to be Gloria Allred or Johnny Cochran.
Well, they are writing law, so it's best, IMHO, to have a lawyer at least check it out. Bottom, there's more non lawyers than lawyers in congress, and the lawyers that are there were put there by the American people.
Here's the thing about law. Anybody can write a law. Don't have to be a lawyer. Since life, and the world aren't black and white, not every law will exactly fit every situation. Do you want more laws written to fit ever conceivable scenario? Didn't think so. So, kill all the lawyers if you want, there will again arise a need to have someone interpret the law as applied to a situation, and unless you want to change the Constitution so that once you're accused, you have no rights, then there will always be a need for an advocate. It would be hard for me to imagine you really thinking that people who stand accused should have no rights or right to due process. You say "well we KNOW Leonard shot and killed 3 people". Yeah, none of us were there either. So, we don't KNOW what happened. But ok, lets say we do know. What fact scenario for the accused can there be where we all agree, "none of us know what happened, let's have a trial"? Who decides who gets due process, and who gets shot on sight? Who decides? Who advocates? Who prosecutes?
The system ain't perfect. Nobody ever claimed it is. You got a better idea? I just watched The Hatfields and the McCoys. They seemed to be right up your ally in thinking. Fat lotta good it did them!
Your emotion and rage over this is exactly the reason the system and law exist! To prevent rash, and irrational decisions being made by the anger of those aggrieved.
