The hijackers of the constitution and our freedoms are lawyers, period. Lawyers rule this country with an iron fist, almost all judges are lawyers, the state and federal legislatures are predominately lawyers. Lawyers make the laws and then for good measure lawyers as judges interpret the meaning of laws. It is like putting foxes in the hen houses to do the maximum damage, and they have.

The Bard said kill all the lawyers, and he was right.

Keep in mind that the most numerous single profession among the 55 who went to Philadelphia, and the 39 who were there when the Constitution was signed on 17 September, 2004, were lawyers. Not all lawyers are bad.

With that said, I agree that the law has descended as a profession since then. We are at risk of becoming a nation of the lawyer, by the lawyer and for the lawyer -- and that kind of lawyer is the lowest of the breed, trial lawyers. Like John Edwards.
