What we really need is a law to limit the proportion of lawyers elected to congress to reflect their actual numbers in the general population. < / sarcasm >

"All the extravagance and incompetence of our present Government is due, in the main, to lawyers, and, in part at least, to good ones. They are responsible for nine-tenths of the useless and vicious laws that now clutter the statute-books, and for all the evils that go with the vain attempt to enforce them. Every Federal judge is a lawyer. So are most Congressmen. Every invasion of the plain rights of the citizens has a lawyer behind it. If all lawyers were hanged tomorrow, and their bones sold to a mahjong factory, we'd be freer and safer, and our taxes would be reduced by almost a half."

H.L. Mencken (1880-1956), "Breathing Space", The Baltimore Evening Sun, 1924

Mr. Mencken was EXACTLY right and nothing has changed!

You may have been kidding here, but I'd seriously love to see someone bring up a lawsuit like that on the basis that congress doesn't represent the diversity of occupations in the country.
