Remember that both Clintons and the Obamas have all lost their licenses to practice law.
The Lawyers' Party
By Bruce Walker
The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers Party.
Barack Obama (was) a lawyer. Michelle Obama (was) a lawyer.
Hillary Clinton (was) a lawyer. Bill Clinton (was) a lawyer.
John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer.
Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate).
Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.
Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress:
Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different.
President Bush is a businessman.
Vice President Cheney is a businessman.
The leaders of the Republican Revolution:
Newt Gingrich was a history professor.
Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist.
House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.
The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.
Who
was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who
left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as
a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976.
The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.
The
Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who
create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like Frist,
or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich. The Lawyers Party
sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people
want, as the enemies of America .. And, so we have seen the procession
of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party, grow.
Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail?....
Pharmaceutical
companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food
restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone
producing anything of value in our nation. This is the natural
consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers. Lawyers
solve problems by successfully representing their clients, in this case
the American people. Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to
win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and
lawyers always parse language to favor their side.
Confined
to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful way to
govern a great nation. When politicians as lawyers begin to view some
Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the
role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some
Americans become adverse parties of our very government. We are not all
litigants in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a
republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from
courts, and from lawyers.
Today,
we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are
driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once
private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place
is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most
important decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the
Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big.
When
House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn
what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation
in America has become crushing.
Perhaps
Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation
by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and
business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the
mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work.
Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more
power will only make our problems worse.
