I want to think about this one for a while. So, I'm very open to comments. But the basic issue is that lawyers make their living by having privileged access to courts and by having access to legal learning. How does this square with the idea that in a democracy, the people make the laws?
In a democratic society, if people decide who gets to make the laws, why do they have so little say in how the laws are enforced? Is it a weird paradox that the united states has more lawyers per capita than any other country? Is it a natural outgrowth of democracy to have this many lawyers? Or is it a sign that our democracy is in trouble?
Just something I want to ponder.......
