Scalia agrees with me.
Since they themselves (in Miranda) declared their salaries a constitutional right, I think it is entirely appropriate to cap their salaries as they are de facto government employees.
Accountants are much more valuable, but they aren’t a Congressman from Massachusetts or a Senator from New York.
More importantly, a law degree seems to be sufficient qualification for any government job, even though you can get through law school without taking one mathematics course.
It is dismaying that our country is run by people who, by and large, go there because they are too stupid to do math. Lest we forget that Obama’s only substantial qualification was his law degree.
What’s really dismaying is that free men sent them there to rule.
It is the voters fault we have the government we have. Although my great aunt (83) says that nobody wanted Social Security, but they just passed it despite the objections of the voters. We still haven’t learned.
Government must be shrunkified. ;-]

I would love to see this country run by the mathematically adept. Get rid of every lawyer in Congress as an experiment and replace with bean counters and engineers etc. I think we would have better government and is it too much to expect a balanced budget?
When I think of a politician who is a lawyer I think of a verbally adept conman. Words are his currency. His stock in trade. He’s an actor who didn’t make it to Hollywood
0bama talks so much because he believes in the power of his words to overwhelm and persuade. Why not do your talking via what you do? Your actions? That’s not 0bama’s style, it’s just endless speechifying mostly via his teleprompter. Speaking the words that head speechwriter Jon Favreau has prepared
