I agree with you

Making a special law for dunk driving is just not necessary and just adds more and more laws to the books.

Do we need a special law for driving under the influence of sleeping pills? Do we need a special law for each particular sleeping pill? How about an individual law for each TYPE of drink you were having? Is beer less of a crime than vodka..etc etc...

These are just lawyers making more laws and more money for ... lawyers

ANY stupid behavior could fit nicely into one of the 10 commandments.

I have long held that practicing, admitted lawyers are officers of the court, and as such, members of the judicial branch of government. As such, it is a conflict of interest for them to hold positions in the executive or legislative branches.

I would fully support an amendment to the Constitution barring any practicing attorney, or one with ties to any active law practice from running for any legislative or executive position without a demonstrable 3-5 year period between when they last practiced law and electoral eligibility. The states would do well to implement similar requirements.

That's not to prohibit attorneys from acting as counsel to legislative committees, serving in executive appointments (i.e. AG, White House Counsel,) etc., but merely from holding elected positions in the legislature or executive.
