He's only telling people what the law says. Don't blame the messenger, blame those who write such stupid laws.

You noticed. :) But in this case, the individual lawyer is not to blame for the actions of the legislature.

I swear, if our founders knew what we know now, they'd might have given up on the whole idea. At the very least, they would have barred lawyers from running for federal office.

If the primates that we came from had known that some day (Politicians)(Lawyers) would come out from the gene pool, they would have stayed up in the trees and written off evolution as a bad idea !

Considering just how narrow the victory of the Federalists was, it would not have taken much to have prevented their victory in re-establishing British style mercantilism.

But seriously, it was inevitable. The Leviathan always grows, bureaucracy always expands. And the nature of the psychopath is well suited to lawyers and politicians, it's no surprise that they overlap.
