The voters don't agree with you. I suspect a majority of Congress persons are lawyers, or close to it. The fact of the matter is that lawyers are just more persuasive, as a general rule. Deal with it. Cheers.
You must not be a lawyer, because I still see no reason to ever vote for a lawyer. It's a systemic problem - we could change things by electing normal people, not those who, as Neal Boortz says, turn a personality disorder into a career.

It would be nice if our legislatures had a good understanding of law, because a badly written law gets implemented just like a well written law.
What we need to put in office are honest lawyers.
I'll get back to you if I ever find any.
That's why we should never give up our Second Amendment. /sarc
I think if a candidate pointed out that his opponent was a lawyer and he was not, it would garner a high % of sympathy and interest. Of course, this does not apply if both parties are running lawyers.
