"..we need MORE NON LAWYERS running for office -- Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, Conservatives or Don't Knows..."

I agree wholeheartedly, and I love lawyers. This nation was never supposed to be governed by lawyers and ruled by judges. I'm sure the founding fathers (and mothers!) would be sore tempted to smack us upside our stupid heads for the current mess created by our penchant for electing lawyers to office, which has led directly to rule by litigation and regulation and not by LAW.

The most heinous criminal in the dock has the RIGHT to be JUDGED by his PEERS, why do we leave the rule of the law-abiding citizen to a less qualified group?
