"As early as 1835 Alexis de Tocqueville observed that America was actually ruled by an "aristocracy" of lawyers with the Supreme Court at its head. Our "aristocracy" of lawyers now has somewhere in the neighborhood of one million members. If they were all to pay their fair share of the Supreme Court's $8 trillion debt, that would work out to a nice, neat $8 million apiece. Eight million is probably more than most of them could afford." tempknak.home.att.net
