< Interactive article >A search engine of the bios that lets you search for key phrases or words like "lawyer" or "veteran". How is Congress "in touch" with us when they don't even live the same lives? Posted by Malcolm on Jan. 18 2013,09:20
QUOTE So is that the problem with Congress? Too much schoolin’ and too many lawyers? ... You would think educated people well versed in the law would make excellent legislators... No, I wouldn't. Why would anyone think that? What does education have to do with an inherent grasp of fairness, objectivity, and not being a greedy bastard? Posted by GORDON on Jan. 18 2013,09:46
One has to have knowledge of the law to truly become a master of manipulating the law for ones own gain.

(GORDON @ Jan. 18 2013,11:46) QUOTE One has to have knowledge of the law to truly become a master of manipulating the law for ones own gain. That doesn't seem like being creative so much as being a weasel  (at best) or being destructive (at worst). Posted by GORDON on Jan. 18 2013,10:04
Why can't it be both? I think the great majority of elected legislators are, objectively speaking, scum.
