Tort reform would save the whole economic system. The lawyers tax is
a
drag on the whole economy, producing absolutely nothing.
?? Come on. More nonsense. Most lawyers are honest and hardworking.
Lawyers
founded this country. We have nothing to be ashamed of.
The only explaination I have is lawyers back then were more honest and
under a lot more scruteny on the issue of governance. Probably
because many of their peers were NOT lawyers and they had to get
acceptance from the people.
"We the people..." founded the USA. Otherwise the residents would
have hung the idiots as traitors to the crown, and they were traitors
to the British. But victors write the history books.
BTW, I think they did a good job. Just an observation that they were
British subjects before they were Americans.

To be a lawyer in those days, you did not have to indoctrinated by a
law school. Just read the books and take the bar exam.
Only partially correct. You had to apprentice with an established
lawyer, much as John Adams did. As usual, you know little about what you
write.

I read no where of Lincoln apprenticing with an established lawyer. I
think he was already a state senator when he took the bar.
So, you believe that Lincoln was one of the founders.... also, you're
unfamiliar with the concept of frontier country lawyers, which were quite
different than those on the East Coast.

Logic escapes you again. We were discussing the requirements to be an
attorney in the old days. The East was a frontier also. One of my
relatives was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Abraham Clark.
NJ lawyer, self taught, surveyor, and attorney. Did not ever read of him
apprenticing as an attorney either.
