The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers’ Party. 

Barack Obama is a lawyer.
Michelle Obama is a lawyer.
Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. 
Bill Clinton is a lawyer.
John Edwards is a lawyer.  
Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer.
Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate).
Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.
Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: 
Harry Reid is a lawyer. 
Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.

The Republican Party is different. 

President Bush is a businessman. 
Vice President Cheney is a businessman.
The leaders of the Republican Revolution:  
Newt Gingrich was a history professor.
Tom Delay was an exterminator.

Richard Armey was an economist. 
House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer. 
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 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976. 

The  Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work,  who are often the targets of lawyers.

The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich.

The Lawyers’ Party sees these sorts of  people, who provide goods and services that people want, as  the enemies of America . And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers’ Party, grow. 

Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail?  Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals,  manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value  in our nation. 

This is the natural consequence of  viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers. 
Lawyers  solve problems by successfully representing their clients,  in this case the American people. 
Lawyers seek to have  new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press  appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always  parse language to favor their side.

Confined to the  narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful way  to govern a great nation. 
When politicians as lawyers  begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans  as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become  “adverse parties” of our very government. We are not all  litigants in some vast social class-action suit.  We are  citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of  freedom 
from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.  

Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by  judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by  omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives.  America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important 
decision for our next president is whom he will  appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the  law in America is too big. When lawyers use criminal  prosecution as a continuation of politics by other means, as  happened in the lynching of Scooter Libby and Tom Delay,  then the power of 
lawyers in America is too great. When  House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our  efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become  crushing.

We cannot expect the Lawyers’ Party to  provide real change, real reform or real hope in America  Most Americans know that a republic in which every major  government action must be blessed by nine unelected judges  is not what Washington intended in 1789. Most Americans  grasp that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at  the heels of our defenders. Most Americans intuit that more  lawyers and judges will not restore declining moral values or spark the spirit of enterprise in our  economy.

Perhaps Americans will understand that  change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who  already largely dictate American society and business.  Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by  hard work.

Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that  more lawyers with more power will only make our problems  worse.

The United States has 5% of the world’s  population and 66% of the world’s lawyers! Tort (Legal)  reform legislation has been introduced in congress several  times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as “spilling hot coffee on yourself  and suing the 
establishment that sold it to you” and also to  limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits.  This legislation has continually been blocked from even  being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97%  of the political contributions from the American Trial  Lawyers Association goes to the Democrat Party, then you  realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs  being so high!
