you’d think so but I’ve also seen lawyers do some stupid and illegal things, I know one who is being sued right now for $50,000 because she sold her house and allowed her realtor to make all kind of claims about the place that weren’t true, like it having a new roof when is was 10 years old. My first reaction was “shouldn’t a lawyer have known better?”
What does your hypothetical lawyer and his house have to do with Fred Thompson and his political organization?
