You realise, of course, the "kill all the lawyers" line was actually a defence of lawyers, don't you?

The line was uttered by a conspirator in Henry VI Pt II (Dick the Butcher) who wanted to overthrow the legal government, and bring chaos.

His aside (to kill all the lawyers) would have had the effect of clouding the legal situation, and would have allowed his leader, Jack Cade to move to phase two.

That involved killing all scholars, courtiers, and gentlemen, before phase three: to destroy all the records of the realm.

The intent was to remove anyone or anything that would stop Cade from siezing complete power and control.

Now ... substitute Hillary Clinton for Jack Cade. Is this what you are after?
