Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate.) Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Benson, went to law school. Look at the Democrat Party in Congress: the Majority Leader in each house is a lawyer.
Today, we are drowning in laws, we are contorted by judicial decisions, we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked.
Even more telling - look at the state legislatures which are overwrought with lawyers (think: California) and those who have virtually none (think : Nevada). And then look at the health of those states and the happiness of the populace with their governments.
I’d be willing to rest my judgement on the percentage of lawyers in a state legislature as to how much I would like them.
