It was Henry VI. And it was not a comment to imply that commercial sanity might return if the lawyers were to be eliminated. As the famous remark by the plotter of treachery in Shakespeare's King Henry VI shows - "The first thing we must do is kill all the lawyers," - the surest way to chaos and tyranny even then was to remove the guardians of independent thinking.

If independent thinking is the ACLU then I'm going with Willie Shakespeare.

Shakespeare? I prefer Mario Puzo (author of the Godfather): "One of my shysters with a brief case can steal more cash than 100 of my best men with guns!"
