Government of the Lawyer, By the Lawyer and for the Lawyer

Government of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers was on full display at the Comey Congressional Hearing as an illustration of just how far removed our highly paid, elected officials really are from the issues which are truly interesting to we the governed. Clearly, Congress is discriminating against the employment demographics of our country! Just how many lawyers are in Congress? And more importantly, how many of them "rule" us via their committees?

All I could think of, as a daughter and niece of a lawyer, judge and cousin of a law professor as I watched this farce was Delay, Delay, Delay. Along with all sorts of other rhetorical legalese, well-schooled doublespeak and parsing of words, legislative legal rulers are governing us, looking down on us, ignoring us, pontificating to us and generally disrespecting us. Just where were we in all of that legal mumbo jumbo that went on? Anyone who earns a dollar by the sweat of a brow, assists in an operating room or teaches behind a closed classroom door inherently must realize just how far removed the average working American is from the royalty in D.C.. What did the hearing provide for us? The media framed a ‘gotcha’ moment for a president they did not like, for a some-of-this, some-of-that former FBI director and for a former president they wish they could put back on the throne. But we private sector Americans out there; people in fly-over land; Moms and Dads working to care for their families, or folks who only could hear second hand what went on because they were at a real job---just what was in it for you?

Well, not much. The Comey hearing, for someone watching with an only slightly jaundiced eye, revealed the lawyer's dependable tactic...

Think back upon your own education and experience.

Did you spend years learning how to argue?

Lawyers did.

You may have been learning how to find oil. You may have been learning how to build power stations. You may have been learning how to conduct surgery.

A lawyer was learning how to argue.

For money, a lawyer can argue for or against drilling for oil. For money, a lawyer can argue for or against building a power station. For money, a lawyer can argue for or against the competency of a surgery.

Lawyers argue. That’s what they like to do. It’s what they’re trained to do.

Now, match someone who is trained to argue against say an engineer in a boardroom discussion. The engineer is trained to think and do. The lawyer is trained to argue. Who wins the discussion?

And who are our judges?

Lawyers.

People trained to argue looking out for people who are trained to argue.

Now, suppose for a minute that you are a greedy SOB. Will you get the people who control the courts and are trained to argue in your tribe?

The Democrat tribe has.

I have been saying it for years. We elect lawyers who go to Washington or state capitals to wrote more laws forcing the citizens the servants are supposed to serve to hire the servants for service.
Why do we need more laws? Lawyers love getting paid to create job security for lawyers under the guise of service.
