The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are lawyers.
Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama are lawyers.
John Edwards, the other former Democrat candidate for president, is a lawyer and so is his wife Elizabeth.
Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate.)
Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Benson, went to law school.
Look at the Democrat Party in Congress: the Majority Leader in each house is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different.
President Bush and Vice President Cheney were not lawyers, but businessmen.
The leaders of the Republican Revolution were not lawyers.
Newt Gingrich was a history professor;
Tom Delay was an exterminator;
and Dick Armey was an economist.
House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer, not a lawyer.
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 thirty-one years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976.

Well, I am a lawyer (anyone can be an attorney, e.g., one can possess a power of attorney with no legal training). Most of the lawyers I know are pretty conservative.
I think most folks think all lawyers are the ex’s divorce lawyer or personal injury plaintiff lawyers who chase ambulances and channel dead kids.
That’s not quite right.
I agree that the American Bar Association is way left, but check out the Federalist Society.
Luke notwithstanding, I do “touch the packs” on a regular basis, and I do take burdens away from my clients. That’s why they pay me, and they are happy about it.
If you are making decisions that affect the lives of American military personnel, you should have some degree of personal experience of the impact of those decisions.
That would of course, require the immediate termination of just about every Democrat in office, (BTW, Republicans w/o service could go too for all I care).
Any remaining Dem veterans would get straightened out really fast.

Hehehe
Because they use the law to scam.
Esquires has the right ring to it, and the old cartoon of that winking, foppish, and effete Esquire Man nicely caricatures the democratic leadership.
Better joke: “my mother and father are both lawyers.” “Honest?” “No, to argue that would be a sophistry, wouldn’t it? They’re just opportunistic and predatory.”
An ad comparing the Lawyer’s party and the People’s party. Yes we can appropriate that lefticism with a hint of a chuckle.

The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.
“
Senator Tom Coburn (R, OK) flies home on weekends to Oklahoma to
continue his medical practice...delivering babies FOR FREE and paying
out of his own pocket for malpractice insurance.
And his fellow Senators still give him grief about it.
(I guess they think Coburn is “buying votes” by helping to deliver
the children of lower-income mothers.)
Frist, IIRC, wisely let his cardiac practice go in order to avoid
this sort of harassement from his mental-midget Senatorial colleagues.
No surprise - lawyers are the commissars of American Socialism.
