Here is a piece I wrote in August 2011 during the debt ceiling debate, I think it still holds true today….
Our President, 40 percent of the Cabinet, the entire Supreme Court and 45 percent of our Congressional representatives – including nearly half of the feisty House freshmen — are lawyers, trained in the adversarial system of law, a process that is focused on winning, rather than finding the ultimate truth or compromise. This may work in the court room, but is it the best approach for problem solving and dealing with the major issues that face our nation? For most lawyers, their income is derived from conflict – not resolution. I think it’s safe to say America needs less conflict and more resolution.
