If we really want to put the lawyers out of business we should encourage the government to take over the payment for legal services. They have been successful in putting doctors out of business why not lawyers.

I get aggravated when I see doctor's bills paid by government agencies at about twenty percent of the billed amount when at the same time the Hospital bill is paid in full including all of the bogus, inflated and fraudulent charges. If you question these charges you get shuffled around the bureaucracy until you get tired and give up. Then the insurance rates go up to cover "increased medical care".

What a great idea. Let's start a movement to socialize the legal system. Why should only the rich be able to afford a good lawyer? Don't we all have a legal right to good representation regardless of our ability to pay? Conservative commentators should challenge liberals with this regularly. If socialized medicine is a good thing, then why not socialized justice? Some ambititious idiot liberal will take up the cause creating the perfect wedge issue. The trial lawyers would go beserk.
