Thank GOD President Bush is NOT A LAWYER!
Haven't many of our presidents been lawyers? Certainly Lincoln and John Adams were.
It would also seem so with much of our clergy.
Yes, a few of our presidents were lawyers. Clinton was a damn lawyer.
For the life of me, ins't it state imposed proselytism of a certain religion or ideology if NOW and women get 90% of the time the custodies? Isn't sound governance about the admission that sin exists equaly between men and women?
The "hammer and sicle" utilitarian men's money is what children need, but not their mother's immorality and lack of situational awareness, is basicaly a virtual right to abort the child after it is born, at the hands of women, unchecked. Lawyers in the meantime are paid high fees by women for this "freedom", through their men.
One can go back to Roe to figure where it all started.
"The plaintiffs allege that Democratic Presidential nominees, as professional lawyers and officers of the court, thus representing the Judiciary branch, would infringe upon the fundamental doctrines of separation of powers and checks and balances, the very foundation of our republican form of government."
Yes, yes and YES! Many of our founders, Ben Franklin particularly, warned about lawyers making or executing law. This is exactly what the biggest problem was with the Clinton regime. Did you know that The State of Franklin very nearly became the 14th state? In their constitution they required NO lawyers to serve in their legislature. Some of the founders were lawyers, but they mostly agreed it was a grave danger to the country. If you notice, all our agencies are run over with the barristers, like Jamie Gorelick and her "wall". This country must realize that our laws are now of, by and for attorneys. Any time any one group or profession infiltrates and runs our government we are in danger.
As appealing as this theory is, pigs still don't have wings, but bumblebees do fly.
On the articles' url there is this note:
[1] Everyone is welcome to join the suit. All you need is to sign a simple Joinder form. write to Mr. Weinstein at YIKES@JHRCIC.ORG
I'm going to join the suit and hope others will realize the importance of this movement.
"The Attorney-General, an Executive office in both state and the federal governments, could not be held by an attorney."
Ah, c'mon. We're not advocating killing all the lawyers. Would you consider getting them out of the legislative and executive branch unless the title says "attorney"? Do you approve of our government being run over with them in all three branches?
Thanks for posting this Cincinatus' Wife. It's about time!!!
If you read nothing else today, please pay attention to this one. I'm offline most of the time, decided to take a break during this nasty election because some freepers are even too grumpy to be around, but am glad I saw this! Pres. Bush understands the danger of this attorney imbalance of power in our government.
NEVER VOTE FOR A LAWYER!
Have fun all you freeper types, see you after the election.

BTT!
"We can't wait to start making laws." Staffer of President-elect Bill Clinton, 1992.
There was, allegedly (Lawyer -Speak), an original 13th (no superscript) Amendment, which banned lawyers from serving in the legislative or executive branches of Govt, and banned holders of titles of nobility,(Barrister is an English Title of Nobility) from same.
The issue in debate is not whether it existed, but whether it was ever ratified. It disappeared around the time of the Civil War from Textbooks on the Constitution.

"TITLES OF NOBILITY" AND "HONOR"
In the winter of 1983, archival research expert David Dodge, and former Baltimore police investigator Tom Dunn, were searching for evidence of government corruption in public records stored in the Belfast Library on the coast of Maine.
By chance, they discovered the library's oldest authentic copy of the Constitution of the United States (printed in 1825). Both men were stunned to see this document included a 13th Amendment that no longer appears on current copies of the Constitution. Moreover, after studying the Amendment's language and historical context, they realized the principle intent of this "missing" 13th Amendment was to prohibit lawyers from serving in government..."
One of the Authors lived here in Albuquerque and I heard a presentation that was quite interesting.
Much has changed since then. :)
I'd love to see them religated to the Judiciary only, with the obvious exceptions; but my comment is what I believe the judges will partially use against it.
Also, as much as I hate to admit it, some lawyers are (mostly) human & (marginally) good citizens; therefore I can bet the 14TH Amendment would also be cited to kill this.
It would take some kind of law--fat chance of the lawyer-legislators passing; or, lawyer-judges upholding an initiative--to place something like this in effect.
I wish them all the luck in the world, but I also have a realistic outlook at what the actual result will be.
