Who was it that said “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers?” Shakespeare, King Henry VI. He was right.Unfortunately, too many people quote that out of context.
The villains in this play, bent on leading their nation to tyranny, remark thus.

"villains in this play"
In the play they were. Shakespeare was definitely on the side of the monarchy or his plays would not be played.
In modern terms, you could say that what the real rebels were against was the swamp. And how many of our noble congressman and government officials today are lawyers?
