“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
The Federalist Papers, Number 47, James Madison
The Judicial branch is 100% lawyers currently, the legislative branch is mostly made up of brotherhood of the bar members as well, and the current president is also a member of that fraternity.
We should not be surprised that we find ourselves in our current situation.
