And how are you going to get the many lawyers in Congress to go along with this? The bishops who supported Henry VIII’s usurpation of the rights of the pope had a very personal, even professional interest in going along with the king. What incentive could we offer to the lawyers? Jefferson was trained in the law but quit his practice at 31. So he had no brief for lawyers. Who among out leaders today has the same view?
Hm, seems like it might be rather easy if another 2,000+ page, "we have to pass it to find out what's in it" type bill wouldn't mind the addition of a single page, no?

Not having them hanged and/or shot. {It is an incentive.} -- Though that's likely a different implementation track.

What do you mean "had no brief for lawyers"?
