First President Bush holds the same views and takes every opportunity to express it, fighting to lower the takes by lawyers on too many frivilous law suits and trying to tell us all that judges are making law.
Second, the numbers are beyond presenting here, the attorneys who are so willing to destroy individual and entire communities using The Environmental Species act to force the government to pay their fees by filing lawsuits based not on science, but loopholes against those who have no means to fight them. I've watched them lose their homes, their livliehood and their lives. Some committed suicide, others simply died of a broken heart.
Thirdly, experience with GOOD lawyers, yes they are out there. One is a friend, here on FR, who simply states, THE LAW is DEAD. Another who dared buck the established bar in Oregon so his compadre’s voted and disbarred this fine man. When one tries to actually defend “innocence” he is trampeled.
There was nothing short of a coup during the LAWYER administration of Bill Clinton. Every turn that was made was by and for attorneys.....”it depends on what the meaning of the word..is, is”. And what are the democrats going to do....try to elect 2 more attorneys as president and vice president. They need to be kept in the judicial system. Period. Ben Franklin agreed with me, so I am in good company. There is little in our society left that one is not forced to “hire” one of these barristers to get through. And it didn’t happen by accident. And if you can’t afford the best performer, you lose. It has little to do with the law, and nothing to do with justice. It is much like the mafia ran it's business, with "protection" pay offs.
I also recently served on a jury. The entire "lawyer" problem, is of course the fault of the people. All these other 11 wanted was to get home by 5pm.
The floor is yours, sir, I'm done with this thread.
