Shakespeare was right

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
Act IV, Scene II
Henry VI

There is probably no one in the history of recorded time as quotable as the Bard. He is still relevant even 400 years after his death. This particular quote is my favorite. I find it inspirational. Now, the scholarly interpretation of the quote is that he was referring to politicians. But, hey, when you come down to brass tacks lawyers and politicians are mere bastard children of the same wayward mother. The boy president, Willy Clinton, happens to be both. As well as an unequivocal bastard.

There is one particular lawyer/politician who has managed to swim his way to the bottom of the cesspool. Massachusetts State Representative James Fagan, a Dummycrat, said the following on the floor of the Massachusetts state house when referring to the cross examination of child rape victims:

“I’m gonna rip them apart. I'm going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined, that when they’re 8 years old, they throw up; when they’re 12 years old, they won’t sleep; when they’re 19 years old, they’ll have nightmares and they’ll never have a relationship with anybody.”

This rant was during a debate on a law that would require stiff mandatory sentences for child sex offenders, aka Jessica’s Law. Rep. Fagan defended these comments by saying it was his duty as a defense attorney in order to save his clients from such “draconian” punishment.

Draconian describes Fagan’s warped sense of morality.

A lawyer’s conscience: Is there such a thing? Not likely. The voters of Massachusetts get what they deserve when they elect this rabble. It’s not surprising. After all, they’ve continuously reelected the Chappaquidick Marauder.
