Laws today are written by lawyers to support the institution of lawyers. To provide for an endless feeding trough to set government against citizen in order to fuel what will become CWII.

As for the part about lawyers, I will say you are correct. Over 90 percent of the elected, at the federal level are lawyers. At the courts or judicial level, all are lawyers, and most are not elected. The judges are for the most part, selected.
