As if our legal system doles out justice.

Well, it tries, imperfectly. But this kind of hyperbole is stomach-turning. And in my opinion, just wrong. And I’m a lawyer.

I echo the comments of #8 … we owe our freedoms more to our veterans than anyone else.

Die Rolle der Ärzte im Staatsgebilde…

ist untergeordnet gegenüber der Arbeit von (…) Strafverteidigern. Das sagte neulich, nein, natürlich, kein Arzt, sondern ein Jurist.
Scheint ein internationales Phänomen zu sein.

Our country without lawyers? Much closer to heaven I propose.

Mr. Vice President? Is that you?

I love Gerry Spence, but do not view everything he says as gosple. Perhaps, he was just trying to build up their morale.

“We have to redefine who we are: We are the most important people in America,” Spence said. “There is no other profession in America that fights for freedom, that fights for what America is about, that fights for justice for ordinary people.”

Why yes there is and it are called the US Military. They even have a few lawyers amongst their ranks, very few blessedly. It appears that when push comes to shove not very many lawyers are needed to fight for freedom, for what America is about, for justice for ordinary people … all around the world.

Perhaps this comment is overly obvious, but the next time Mr. Spence has a broken leg, he could check in with William Lerach to have it set.

i guess i have this tendency to want to give people the benefit of the doubt and not just think this guys head is about a millions pounds and needs a little deflation, that’s obviously what his words make it sound like. I have heard that a large percentage of the nations president have been lawyers and we all know Obama was a lawyer. The liberal illuminati for sure have a lot of lawyers that work for them.

But with that said and trying to give this bone head the benefit of the doubt he goes on to say we need lawyers more than we need doctors. he has blown it! He’s doesn’t have a clue!
