Who’s paying for it?

Approximately 60% of U.S. senators hold law degrees, and a large number of those practiced before entering politics. There are 1,143,358 lawyers in the U.S. as of Dec. 2006, or less than 1% of the population, according to the ABA.

Seems to me that having so many lawyers in the Senate is clear evidence that this body is not representative of its citizens, nor is it attracting the best, brightest and most accomplished Americans, by any stretch of the imagination.

Lincoln read law.

CA and the rest of the US has a terrible shortage of nurses. Many people want to become nurses but there are not enough slots in nursing schools for them. So these idiots open a law school instead of a nursing school. And Hewitt is a typical lawyer who plays both sides of the deck. IIRC he also supported McCain’s amnesty for illegals along with Michael Medved.

IIRC, he supported Harriet Meiers as well.
