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..................
Every now and then there is a good one.
Plus, Fred didn't get his JD from one of the elitist Ivy League schools.
No, because 99% of the lawyers give the rest a bad name. < /sarc not needed I hope.
True. If you want to know what is wrong with America, pick up any Yellow Pages phone book and find the section listing "Doctors" (or in some books: "Physicians"). Find the beginning and end of the section and measure the results between your thumb and forefinger.
Now, do the same for "Lawyers". If you wish, you may use another finger to gauge the results. You'll probably want to. Then, look at the back cover and see what type of business is advertised there. Injured? Of course you are...
This WAS a rhetorical question, right?
Lawyers are lucky. They have the LAW to guide their activities. The rest of us have to depend on common sense, fair play and a notion of right and wrong.
I’d rather have the country run by Amway distributors than the monopoly of lawyers we’ve had.
On the advice of my lawyer I am not allowed to answer this question
Goldman Sachs runs the country now, last I checked.
Regarding the executive offices under the Presidency, he should be allowed to appoint whomever he wants. I think it's a grave mistake to appoint so many lawyers, but so be it.
You might be on to something!!
Isn't 0bama's redistribution plans a 'pyramid scheme'?

Q: What's brown and black and looks good on a lawyer?
A:
And with all these lawyers do we believe that the Supreme Court is going to defend and uphold the Constitution?
Why are judges so immune from the consequences of mistakes?
Why don’t they want cameras in the courtrooms more than they do?
Is the practice of “bar politics” that gave us a nominee like Harriet Myers good for the country?
Just asking.
“What happened to that Amendment to the Constitution that kept lawyers out of government?/ Lost??”
There was a state forming before the revolution called the State of Franklin near Georgia/Tennessee. A couple ancestors records show their birthplace as ‘the state of Franklin’. In their constitution no lawyer could be elected. They included preachers and teachers as well, IIRC.
Y’all might want to go back and take a look at the history of this country.
The government has ALWAYS been dominated by lawyers. 35 out of the 55 Founders were attorneys.
When this mess collapses, I am going to make sure that the next Republic excludes lawyers from not only holding office, but from being citizens. They will, at best, have the rights of feral dogs and furniture. They have ruined America, and humanity.
[NEVER vote for a lawyer!]
Would one exception be Freeper “Congressman Billybob”??
“[NEVER vote for a lawyer!]
Would one exception be Freeper “Congressman Billybob”??”
Well, there is always an exception. :<)
If there was only one thing I could teach the public about voting it would be ‘never vote for a lawyer’. Their over representation in our government is one of our biggest problems.
Same script as the American Revolution...different day.
Much better...
