It amazes me why America keeps electing "lawyers" to make and pass "laws". That is like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.

There are just too many lawyers in Congress, I would like to see it limited to no more than 10% lawyers - just enough to act as a "consultancy" and not enough for an overpowering majority.

A lot of basically "power hungry" people go into law as prelude to politics, and it should not be a stepping stone to power. Power grabbers seem to intrinsically narcissistic and comfortable with the lies necessary to maintain their facade. We don't need (any more of) this kind in our government.

NO MORE LAWYERS in congress
