75 percent of the world's attorneys live in the United States and 94 percent of the world's lawsuits are filed in the United States."
Every Democrat presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate – Biden 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. Tom Delay was an exterminator. 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, ran 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
全球 75% 的律师居住在美国，全球 94% 的诉讼在美国提起。”
自 1984 年以来，每位民主党总统候选人都上过法学院（尽管戈尔没有毕业——拜登在班上垫底）。自 1976 年以来，除了劳埃德·本特森（Lloyd Bentsen）之外，每一位民主党副总统候选人都上过法学院。巴拉克奥巴马是一名律师。米歇尔奥巴马是一名律师。希拉里·克林顿是一名律师。比尔克林顿是一名律师。约翰爱德华兹是一名律师。伊丽莎白爱德华兹是一名律师。看看国会民主党领袖：参议院多数党领袖查克舒默是一名律师。前参议员哈里·里德是一名律师。
共和党不一样。
特朗普总统是个商人。布什总统 1 和 2 是商人。副总统切尼是个商人。艾森豪威尔总统是一位五星级将军。
共和革命的领袖：纽特·金里奇是一位历史教授。汤姆·延迟是一个灭虫者。迪克·阿米是一位经济学家。前众议院少数党领袖约翰博纳是一家塑料制造商。前参议院多数党领袖比尔弗里斯特是一名心脏外科医生。
谁是最后一位担任律师的共和党总统？杰拉尔德福特在 31 年前离任，作为现任总统几乎没有赢得共和党提名，他在 1976 年与演员罗纳德里根竞争。共和党是由做实际工作的真人组成的，他们往往是律师的目标。这很有趣。我以前从来没有这样想过。
民主党由律师组成。民主党人嘲笑和蔑视像特朗普、布什和切尼这样创造财富的人，或者像弗里斯特那样治愈病人，或者像金里奇那样沉浸在历史中的人。律师党将这类提供人们想要的商品和服务的人视为美国的敌人。因此，在律师党眼中，我们看到了公敌队伍的壮大。
希拉里和奥巴马反对谁？制药公司、石油公司、医院、制造商、快餐连锁店、大型零售企业、银行家以及在我们国家生产任何有价值的东西的任何人。
这是通过律师的眼光看待一切的自然结果。
律师通过成功代表他们的客户来解决问题，在这种情况下，他们应该是美国人民。律师寻求通过新的法律，他们寻求赢得诉讼，他们向上诉法院施压以推翻先例，律师总是分析语言以支持他们的一方。
仅限于狭隘的法律实践，那很好。但这是治理一个伟大国家的可怕方式。当政客作为律师开始将一些美国人视为客户而将其他美国人视为对立方时，法律制度在我们生活中的作用就变得无所不包。一些美国人成为我们政府的反对党。在一些庞大的社会集体诉讼中，我们并不都是诉讼当事人。我们是一个共和国的公民，它向我们保证了远离法律、法院和律师的极大自由。
今天，我们淹没在法律之中；我们被司法判决扭曲；在我们曾经的私人生活的各个方面，无所不在的律师使我们分心。美国有法律和律师的地方，但那个地方是谦虚和合理的，而不是广阔和不受限制的。当我们下一任总统最重要的决定是他将任命谁进入最高法院时，律师和法律在美国的作用太大了。当众议院民主党人起诉美国以阻碍我们了解我们的敌人计划对我们做什么的努力时，诉讼在美国的作用就变得不堪重负。
也许美国人会明白，那些已经在很大程度上支配美国社会和商业的律师无法给我们的国家带来改变。也许美国人会看到，希望不是来自律师的口中，而是来自辛勤工作所滋养的个人梦想。也许美国人会接受这样一个事实，即拥有更多权力的律师只会让我们的问题变得更糟。
美国拥有世界5%的人口和世界66%的律师！在过去几年中，国会多次提出侵权（法律）改革立法，以限制荒谬诉讼中的惩罚性赔偿，例如将热咖啡洒在自己身上并起诉向您出售咖啡的机构，并限制巨额医疗中的惩罚性赔偿渎职诉讼。这项立法甚至一直被民主党阻止投票。当你看到美国出庭律师协会 97% 的政治捐款都捐给了民主党时，你就会意识到谁应该为我们如此高的医疗和产品成本负责。
