Lawyers have become manipulators of the law, for personal profit. Justice has fallen by the wayside. As an extension of this "manipulation", far too many congressmen are lawyers.
A doctor cannot manufacture a sick person for profit, a lawyer goes looking for "victims". Bad profession.
Lawyers shouldn't even be referred to as part of a profession anymore. They are just another industry and the law is their raw material.
There was a ballot initiative in Texas a couple of election cycles ago to actually eliminate the Texas State Bar Association. That would be a great start.
