Rose Law Firm alumni Hillary Rodham Clinton.

She tried to use lawfare against Nixon during Watergate, but she was so foul the lead investigator threw her off the team.

Lawfare is a hybrid word created from warfare and law. In other places like Columbia and Mexico, lawfare activities included such lawyers and judges experiencing the warfare side of the root word.

It’s fun when it’s going your way. But if society went sideways, I wouldn’t want to B be a lawfare type.

This makes the law school fundamentally a government school. More than that, it saturates the law in the assumptions, expectations, ambitions, and conceits of a single state authority.

What percentage of Congress are lawyers?
Answer: Currently 43%

Among them are all virtually all of the leadership and most likely most of the committee chairs:

Senate Majority Leader Upchuck Schumer: J.D., Harvard, 1974
Senate Minority Leader Turtle McConnell: J.D., University of Kentucky, 1967
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson: J.D., Louisiana State University, 1998
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer: J.D., William Mitchell College of Law, 1988
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries: J.D., New York University, 1997
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark: J.D., Cornell Law School

There is but ONE exception - House Majority Leader Steve Scalise

And add to that our recent executive branch leaders:

Joseph Biden: J.D., Syracuse University, 1968
Kamala Harris: J.D., University of California School of Law
Barak Obama: J.D. (allegedly), Harvard Law School, 1992
Shrillary Clinton: J.D., Yale, 1973
BJ Bill Clinton: J.D., Yale, 1973

Our government is absolutely infested and overrun with lawyers. Is it any wonder that it is utterly corrupt, self-serving, and despicable? Prohibiting lawyers from running for office or serving in government would likely do wonders.

By the way, and not surprisingly, Trump is NOT a lawyer. Neither were Ronald Reagan or John F. Kennedy.

It started way back in the sixties or before. When some of us were sweating like dogs in Southeast Asia, these jerks were getting student deferments and going to law schools.

Now,, you see the result in real time.

“and say the entire Federal Government operates a large law firm, with interns, partners, a security team with nuclear weapons, and a code of omerta..”

South tried to warn us about all powerful Zentral Union government. Now look what we’ve got? At least 5,199 possible federal crimes the monster can lock you up for. (Framing someone is the big abuse). Extortion of money and life’s blood every April 15. For openers.

Biden has been consorting with dictators for over 50 years as he picked up his payoffs, so they've given him a few tips.
