If Bush had been a lawyer...

[Nia Zuri]

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. are for the most part poiticians and businessmen. I've often wondered if they would have had the same approach to governing (or whatever it is they do) had they been lawyers. In law school you study constitutional law and internalize the supremacy of the law, the entire legal process to some degree. I hope I'm not coming off as completely naive, but most lawyers have some regard for the law, this cabal has absolutely none. I know that there are plenty of rotten lawyers, but do you think they would have gone as far as they have, such callous dirsregard and disrespect for the law of the land, the constitution and bill of rights had they been lawyers? Thoughts?

1. How much respect for the law

did Gonzo show? Diddly-squat-ergo I rest my case.

3. True, there are plenty of lawyers willing to do anything to

hel their cause and support their "clients", but as far a Bush goes, think that their whole mindset is a blatant disregard for the law...it's pretty easy to find a lawyer ambitious enought to do anything to support that direction

2. Bush tried to get into the University of Texas Law School.

He was rejected.

4. He would have never won a case.

The boy has fucked up every business venture he has been a part of. It was a given that, given a chance, he would fuck up the country. Unless his Daddy was a judge, there to bail him out, Bush would have been as shitty a lawyer as he has been everything else.
