The Democrats' evil is professionally inbred

[This piece came across my email transom forwarded by a lawyer who apologized for his profession and how it confuses litigation with governance.  gjr]
 
Every Democrat presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate – Biden (no surprise) was at the bottom of his class).  Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.  Barack Obama was a lawyer. Michelle Obama was a lawyer.  Hillary Clinton was a lawyer. Bill Clinton was a lawyer.  John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer.  Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is a lawyer.  Former Senator Harry Reid was a lawyer.
 
The Republican Party is different.  President Trump is a businessman.  President Bush 1 and 2 were businessmen.  Vice President Cheney was a businessman.  President Eisenhower was a 5 star General.  The leaders of the Republican Revolution: Newt Gingrich was a history professor.  Dick Armey was an economist.  Ex-House Minority Leader John Boehner was a plastics 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 actor Ronald Reagan in 1976.  The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.  This is very interesting. I had never thought about it this way before.
 
The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers.  Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Trump, 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, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party, we have seen the procession of official enemies 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, which, in this case should be 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 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.
 
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 go to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high.

Plus one on the problem of how our tort system interacts with our medical system. Every time someone claims a Euro medical system is better, I point out that one large difference has nothing to do with how it is paid for and a lot to do with what is paid for and why. A lot of tests and procedures in our med system are purely defensive actions to ward off the possibility of lawsuits.
In other words - the insurance companies are making medical decisions. Not to mention the sometimes ridiculous amounts awarded for actual malpractice that drive up the insurance costs for all doctors.

And...

For God's sake let's end "joint and several liability".
That is commonly known as 'deep pockets'.
The payment should be awarded according to the percent of fault. If you were 1% at fault - that is all you should have to pay.

[The Estonian Fox]

George, this may one of the best pieces you have displayed on RR. I have always figured that 50% of state & national politicians were lawyers, without actually taking an hour to just count them.

I should not have been surprised at the disparity between Dem & Rep. All I had to do was just count them. The disparity does result in governance differences due to the mindset of someone who manipulates carbon-based-print into letters and words, vs others who produce the pencils or printers (and all the other stuff we love to own).

Since the U.S. is built on the rule of law, maybe lawyers are the normal way to run our country. So lawyers dominate politics here, It's been in our blood since the founding of the country.

Would engineers/scientists be better at running our country? Make your own choice. Herbert Hoover & Jimmy Carter (noo kyuh ler engr) come to mind. Yeah, nice try doing that.

[Gregory]

Herbert Hoover was blamed for the great depression but he did everything right by the standards of the day. The problem was money supply, and no one understood it until Uncle Milty unraveled the knot.

Hoover was moved aside for the Free Stuff Party to be run by an exceedingly rich heir to a family fortune.

[Bill Tozer]

FDR. The D stands for Delano. Who/what/where/were the Delanos that comprised FDR’s middle name? Why, Delano owned a shipping fleet. Best known for its role for contracting with the British government to ship opium to China. The Opium War ensued. Guess the Brits did not want thar cargo under their flagships. Delano was family, via marriage.

And now you know the rest of the story. This is Psul Harvey, good day.

[Gregory]

I wonder if China's tacit approval of shipping millions of doses of fentanyl killing hundreds of thousands of Americans is related at all to the Delanos (and others) illegally shipping opium to China, addicting millions.

Does China have a long memory?

Now about that, can you say lawsuit -

In July of 2021, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said President Joe Biden does not have the executive authority to issue “debt forgiveness,” arguing that such action would be illegal and that it has “to be an act of Congress.”

“People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not. He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress,” Pelosi said July 28 at a press conference.

“The President can’t do it. So that’s not even a discussion. Not everybody realizes that. But the President can only postpone, delay, but not forgive,” she added.

She also mentioned how voters would be mad about student loan “forgiveness,”appearing to question whether such a policy would be “fair.”

Pelosi mentioned a scenario where “your child just decided they want to – at this time, not want to go to college, but you’re paying taxes to forgive somebody else’s obligations.”

The Department of Education agreed with Pelosi, arguing in a 2021 memo that the executive branch “does not have the statutory authority to cancel, compromise, discharge, or forgive, on a blanket or mass basis, principal balances of student loans, and/or to materially modify the repayment amounts or terms thereof.”

Nancy said, Nancy said. Well, whatever she said, she ain’t saying that no more. That did not take long.

‘Pelosi Agreed With DeVos: Biden Can’t Forgive Student Loans. She Just Caved.’

But on Wednesday, as Biden indicated he would proceed with his plan to “forgive” student loans, Pelosi seemingly reversed herself, tweeting Biden’s “bold action is a strong step in Democrats’ fight to expand access to higher education. By delivering historic targeted student debt relief to millions of borrowers, more working families will be able to meet their kitchen table needs as they recover from the pandemic.”

Well, a Republican female lawmaker just characterized Biden’s giveaway to the elite as “Coastal Elites To Get Their PhD In Gender Studies”. Lol.

The constitutional snare creepy grampa joe finds himself in -

Well, it is a little curious of an argument aside the Heroes Act, because they are citing a crisis that in May, they said had diminished to the point that it would change the status of Title 42 on the southern border that they cited the CDC's view of the lessening of the crisis as the basis and core for that argument. It's extremely dubious to argue that that act gives the president the right to basically toss aside $300 billion, as much as that, in student loans.

Even if the administration had some success initially, it's going to find a fairly chilly reception before the Supreme Court, which has really been demanding clarity on these issues, not the delegation of Congress to the executive branches. And what's weird is that these Democratic members are applauding their own institutional obsolescence. They are all giving these accolades to the president for circumventing Congress because he knows he couldn't get this through Congress

‘Elephant kills woman in India — then returns to trample her corpse at her funeral’

On June 10, onlookers were horrified to see the same elephant that had attacked and killed 70-year-old Maya Murmu, which grabbed her dead body from the pyre before trampling on it. The giant threw her body once more before leaving the site of the funeral.

‘Barr unloads on Mueller: 'He made some very serious errors'

“I asked him, when you give me the report, you have to sanitize it so I’m in a position to release it as soon as you give it to me because if there’s a delay between the time you give me the report and the time I can make it public under the law ... a lot of damage can be done to the country, the stock market, and our foreign adversaries. People are going to wonder if the president's going to jail. So you have to give it to me in a form in which I can release it," Barr said.

The former attorney general said what he got, a report with no redactions and grand jury materials that needed to be concealed, forced him to come forward with a summary while redactions were implemented for roughly three weeks. This was despite Mueller saying he understood Barr's directive to give him a report that could be release quickly, the former attorney general stressed.

"I don’t know why it was done. It was inexplicable to me," Barr said. He said in the intervening period he had to tell people "what the bottom line was: that there was going to be no indictment of the president and, therefore, there was no collusion. He didn’t reach a decision on obstruction. I took the sentence from his conclusion and said while he didn’t find obstruction, he didn’t exonerate him. I put that in the letter. And then I said, however, I am making the decision based on the report, and I don't find there was obstruction. And then I explained why I didn't find there was obstruction. So half the letter is me explaining my decision — not Mueller’s decision. And I thought that was the responsible thing to do. People who are acting in good faith can scour that letter and not see anything misleading in it."

He added: "The other thing I haven’t really understood what the thrust of this complaint is because we got the report out a couple of weeks later and if the stuff was so damaging, why didn't Congress impeach him at that point? There were crickets. So the idea that I affected the thing by summarizing the report ... was the left-wing throwing a tantrum because Mueller didn’t deliver the goods as far as they were concerned."

A more original source... Barr was talking to Bari Weiss

https://www.commonsense.news/p/bill-barr-calls-bullsht

[Bill Tozer]

Gregory @7:23 am.

Good morning sir. If you want to go to a much earlier source, AG Barr said the same thing about calling Mueller on the phone and saying, “Hey Bob, what’s up with the unredacted report? We talked about specially redacting Grand Jury names, classified info, national security concerns. Bob, what is this? I can’t release this in this form”. That interview was back when Barr just got the report. Then Barr was hauled before Congress and left Kamala’s mouth agape when William Barr told the televised Senate hearing that they indeed spied on Trump’s campaign.

Squelching Dems “Don’t say spied. There was no spying on Trump!”
Barr: It’s spying. Call it surveillance, call it want you want. It was spying.” Lol

Oh my. Rachel Maddcow and and the whole unhinged freak out lot of them starting saying Trump’s butt boy Barr was hiding real evidence in the report and Mueller said they could not exonerate Trump the obstructer of a criminal investigation and Congress! Yep, an innocent man would fight to say he is innocent….which happens to me the Evil Left’s proof is proof he is guilty, lol. Barr the Goon, Trump’s mafia hit man. Wr need another investigation.

What is Barr hiding? WHY why why cannot we see the report?? When o when?

“So George, why did Mueller not exonerate Trump?” -The Punch Punch Punch one (before he became the Punch Drunk One, before the current rapid decline to punch like a butterfly,

When I think of all the wasted time devote to “not exonerated” while avoiding the thrust of the Mueller conclusion that Trump, any member of his campaign, nor any single American citizen colluded with Russian plotting to steal the Presidency from Hillary.

Don’t feel like digging that Oldie but Goodie up at the moment.

CONFIRMED: FBI Colluded With Big Tech To Prevent Voters From Learning About Hunter Biden’s Laptop

[Bill Tozer]

Bill Barr before Trump appointed him AG. 6/17/2017.

Barr, the former attorney general, said the media stories were overblown. Most of what is going on now is early, normal course investigative work that says nothing about the special counsel’s ultimate findings, Barr said.
“I suspect the Washington Post story exaggerates the maturity of the investigation,” he told The Hill. “I don’t think it has crystallized to that point.”
Barr also called the obstruction investigation “asinine” and warned that the special counsel risks “taking on the look of an entirely political operation to overthrow the president.”

Lawyers, lawyers. One man’s opinion is the Dems did not win the election by fraud but rather they won (generally) by out lawyering the Right in 2020. Those moves to have the rules of the game changed with or without the State Legislatures’s involvement is how they out lawyered us. Governor declares this, State election committees declare that, and suddenly it looks like some swing states have issues with the Constitutionality of the process. Too late. So, sue me, ‘Suey, Suey, Pig, pig, pig.’

With that lead-in out of the way, how about another lead-in?

Many moons ago, an old high school classmate who grew up to be third name on the name on an established legal firm, founded and run by his grandfather and then his Dad’s name was added and now Steve’s name, Lol. Anyway, I had a problem in his speciality and ran into him out of the blue and sat down over a six pack or two and told him my quantum. I told him what the other party was doing and what their lawyer had claimed. My friend just laughed and laughed and replied, “Would a lawyer lie?” with a big shit eating grin. Oh, he that joke was hilarious. Odd guy, but pointed me in the right direction…told me to call such and such department with the State and “tell those clerks or whatever they call themselves” what’s going on and have the state call them. If not settled immediately, they will fine them $1,000/day and blah, blah, blah. Good to see ya, Biker Bill and those lovely smooth movements.” Ok, he did not say lovely or smooth, or movements.
I got a frantic call within a couple of days from the other party asking me to come on down. The first thing they did was walk over and hand me an envelope. All there, not a penny less.. Dispute evaporated. Steve is good in his field of work, but not like this guy Bowers.

Bowers and the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation’s board of directors claimed that those who filed the lawsuit were effectively racists.

“They would rather take the same steps of our white oppressors and utilize the criminal legal system which is propped up by white supremacy (the same system they say they want to dismantle) to solve movement disputes,” the organization said.

After Cullors stepped down, the mothers of Tamir Rice, Breonna Taylor, and others lashed out, accusing both BLM and Cullors of using their children’s deaths to raise money, but failing to pass the money on to black families in need.
