Lawyers, Courts and the common man.

We have settled the issue of collective bargaining and if the hard working people of this state agree with the reforms our Governor has implemented to save this state.

But at best, this is only half the problem.

Did you ever wonder, why do lawyers, judges and the courts seem to run this country and this state, who said they make the rules and decide how the constitution is to be interpreted?? Answer... They did.


So I need to caveat this a bit. I count among my friends a few lawyers. They are good people and like teachers and others they also know that they suffer the stigma the vast majority of their fellow practitioners have set to them.

So to understand the problem we again have to go back to the founding of this nation. The founders knew the dangers of a ruling class, and elite, we'r better then all of you group of power holders. They lived under it. In the courts of the day, if you could not afford an attorney you got to stand in the box of the accused and were not allowed to speak and just waited until the judge and his fellow lawyers passed judgment on you. Our founders wrote a document call the constitution and afforded protections to the common man to have in the court room the same rights as lawyers.

Fast forward to today. We are almost back to the courts of the past, you can defend your self in court but as a Pro Se litigant (that mean representing ones self) you are universally hated by the court staff, Judges and of course lawyers. Why you ask?? Because your not part of the elite ruling class. How dare you stand in their presence and act like an equal!

Ok lets look at this from a different perspective. As business owner you are regulated by people that don't have anything to do with you, they don't belong to your clubs, they don't show up at your conventions (unless invited). Unless your a lawyer or judge. Lawyers regulate other lawyers. It is generally done with a wink and a nod unless it is so over the top that they can't sweep it under the rug. The regulators, Judges, and fellow lawyers are one in the same.

This ruling class with a swing of a gavel can dismantle the will of the people. They have, by their common affiliation with judges and their regulators (being lawyers) make it close to impossible for non lawyers to present their case in court and by their fees being out of reach of the under class it completes the circle.  Then by their  control of the majority of the politician's on the left they are able to influence laws, laws that they write for them self to make money and to control the great masses on unwashed non lawyers.  They stand in judgment of the others by their control of the very system that when set up was to protect the masses from this type of excess.

Until there is reform we the people are not in control of this state or country.
