I started thinking about this glut of lawyers at the top of the federal government and realized that the next four years is going to be even worse that I originally thought.
President - lawyer
Vice President - lawyer
First Lady - lawyer
Sec State - lawyer
Attorney General - lawyer (of course)
Sec Interior - lawyer
Agriculture - lawyer
Homeland Security - lawyer
Trade Representative - lawyer
Senate Majority Leader - lawyer
Plus the other ~ 60 lawyers in the senate and the ~ 130 lawyers in the House.
And then there are all the lawyers that are on the staffs of these people.
This country is being lawyered to hell..................

Makes one sympathize with Dick the Butcher in Henry IV (Part 2), now doesn’t it.

What happened to that Amendment to the Constitution that kept lawyers out of government?/ Lost??

Of course it's a lousy idea, the whole notion that the Obama administration won't allow 'business as usual' to continue is laughable. The Obama administration is (business as usual)

During election season I'd switched my tagline from my usual delphic quotation from Slobodan Milosevic to "For real change, stop electing lawyers, Fighter Pilot/Hockey Mom '08".

Lawyers were never meant to be in the Executive and Legislative branches. They are officers of the court, part of the judicial branch. It is one of the biggest sources of problems we have.
NEVER vote for a lawyer!

The rule of law has been replaced by the rule of lawyers. That would make a good tag line.

They shouldn’t be running a bus. A lot of people found that out the hard way from Obama as he threw one after the other under the bus.

Yep. That was the one fault of Duncan Hunter as well, even though he did escape the Ivy League Lawyering.
