Been watching several videos on it, and one complaint I’ve seen in general is Congress has too many fucking lawyers in office and the fact that there’s way too many lawyers means no one in Congress has had a “normal” job before politics. Another one is the whole complaining about corporate lobbying, but idk how you ban corporate lobbying without banning individual lobbying.
On the whole too many lawyers thing, several states in Australia have outright banned property developers and real estate agents from running for office, and there’s talk of making it federal, so I’m curious if that’s even constitutional in the US, just because having so many lawyers in Congress has turned out to be a problem.
Term Limits would be a good first step albeit not an end-all be-all solution. Politics has always had a problem of filtering out decent people in favor of sociopaths. Decent people don't want their skeletons aired or aren't rich enough for it to not matter.
What do you mean?
I'm all for banning lawyers too.
That's insane.
Bamboozler can tell you more, but the reason they did that is because of corruption shit, but whether or not that was good to do in the first place, idk
(((Lawyers)))
Seems random to single out lawyers, but yeah, "what if" we weren't ruled by dysgenic retarded warmongering freaks who hate us?
It's irrelevant if it's unconstitutional, mountains of unconstitutional laws are on the books. The right would be far better off if we just removed the words constitutional and unconstitutional from our vocabulary. We restrict ourselves to following it while our enemies literally wiped their asses with it before my grandfather was born. The remaining uses of the constitution is to simply dangle it in front of conservatives so they'll kill themselves in their wars like a horse chasing a carrot.
I don't care if you ban both.
Here is what I mean: Of course representatives will be allowed to listen to their constituents, including business owners. It's the bribery I want rid of.
In my system of justice, you don't get to write a big check to an office holder or candidate and then wink and nod when they do what you want.
And hell no it is not constitutional to ban certain professions or licensees from office.
This is the way
I've had a similar idea, though I think the recipient should be barred from receiving any money, gifts, salary, or any other thing of value, for the rest of their lives. Obviously they would receive a pension, but failing to do this would open up the very obvious loophole of, "oh, vote the way we want and if you get thrown out, we'll have a great, high-paying 'job' for you."
