[QUOTE="John6185, post: 2382744, member: 25679"] Why do we need lawyers in congress anyway? A lawyer is supposed to know the law but generally Constitutional Law is supposed to be used in writing a bill but the odd thing is, very few of them write a bill-they aren't english majors anyway. Besides, they don't need to even have the ability to read because they don't read the bills before they sign them, maybe they tell their secretary to tack on a pork project in hopes that none will see it and halt the progress of the bill but that's about it. We need some honest"Joe The Plumber" types who will approach each bill with a reasonable amount of common sense-something lawyer politicians don't seem to have and only approve and sign a bill ager careful consideration of the effects on taxpayers (only 51%) and if the country can afford the contents of the bill. But I guess we have to be somewhat satisfied with what we have, congresspeople that look after themselves first, lobbyists second, country last and somehow as evidenced by their votes, God doesn't come into the equation unless they are about to lose their seat in which case they wail and cry out to God to be fair with them and allow them to retain their seats. Disgusting politicians! [/QUOTE]
