Democrats and the Rule of Lawyers​

Democrats and the Rule of Lawyers
Live by pettifoggery, die by pettifoggery.
Cicero is remembered today as a great Roman orator, but few recall that he was a lawyer by trade. In fact, he first rose to public prominence by using his rhetorical skills to secure the acquittal of a man accused of patricide. Cicero’s eloquence eventually enabled him to rise to the rank of Consul, in which capacity he presided over the execution without trial of five Senators. He was exiled for this unlawful act and, at length, was himself illegally executed. There’s a lesson here for the Democrats who increasingly employ lubricious lawyers to circumvent the rule of law.
Cicero’s career, which contributed to the republic’s collapse, came to mind when Democrat Bill Nelson hired attorney Marc E. Elias — a “recount specialist” with ties to Hillary Clinton and George Soros — to sue the state of Florida over the outcome of its recent senatorial race. Elias made his intentions clear upon arriving in the Sunshine State: “We’re doing this not just because it’s automatic… we’re doing it to win.” And he does indeed know how to “win” recounts. He was the perpetrator of Al Franken’s notorious 2008 Senate “victory.” As the Washington Post put it in a 2016 profile:

• Elias’s personal breakthrough came when he represented Al Franken in the recount of the 2008 Minnesota Senate race. It was the longest recount in history — eight months — and resulted in a 312-vote win for Franken. Since then, Elias has been the go-to lawyer for a string of Democrats in recounts and has never lost.

The courts are full of tyrannical, ignorant, power-hungry, ideological, corrupt judges. But those black robes cover up a lot of corruption. Then there is the "Your Honor" form of address, when many judges have no honor at all. The "All Rise" rubbish just adds to the mythology. With few exceptions judges are very average people, and many are below average.
Sure the lawyers are bad, but we should not ignore the fact that the judges are lawyers too. The legal "profession" has only two priorities - protecting and enriching the legal "profession". Lawyers and judges work hand in glove to perpetuate the myth, while our liberties atrophy and our Republic dies.
Ironically all this is that Progressive Marxist Socialist Democrats complained of the very same thing more than one hundred years ago. Now mind you they didn't worry about the republic dying - they have never cared about that.
Cicero's head ended up in a bag. As will our heads, if we allow the Progressive Marxist Socialist Leftists get away with these crimes. In the end, Shakespeare was correct about lawyers.
