Washington, D.C has one lawyer for every 25 people with two orchestrating that scene from the White House. It is also an undisputed fact that lawyers have taken over American government. Lawyers do indeed totally dominate one branch of government-the American judicial system. All lawyers are officers of the court. All judges at the district court level and above are lawyers with a robe on.
All prosecutors are lawyers.
The system itself is lawyer self regulated. The other two branches of government are approaching lawyer monopoly. Lawyers dominate many of the state legislative bodies throughout the nation. Thirteen of the seventeen members of the president's cabinet are lawyers. Finally 24 of the 41 American presidents have been lawyers with two in the White House as of this writing.
