Considering most them are lawyers in the first place. . .

They certainly both tend towards rulemongering. Plus when you make a career of playing the margins it helps to know precisely where they are.

Good lawyers make a shit load of $ practicing law.

One's that graduate in the bottom 5% of their class, from a third rate law school, got into politics instead, and make a family fortune selling access to the government for 50 years.

Most good lawyers make a shitload of money by f**king over everyone they interact with. The only substantive difference between a good lawyer and a politician is that most politicians were voted in.

Also worth noting is how crucial branding is to politics. So crucial in fact that many elected representatives focus on it to the exclusion of all else.

Sort of like that clueless douchebag at the office whose only skillset conters around self-promotion and kissing ass. He's worse than useless and nobody who works with him knows how he got hired, much less why he still has a job there. Maybe he's a master of song and dance. Maybe he knows something the boss doesn't want made public. Maybe he just reminded the hiring manager of himself.

One thing is certain: kill them all, and worse ones come and take their place.

Thpically one would like their politician to know the law....so yea they go hand in hand. We see what happens whwn one does NOT KNOW THE LAW.

The law is like proper language: once you attain mastery of it, you know when to observe it, when to ignore it, and the most acceptable ways to break it.

Politicians who don't know the law probably won't go far. Unless they gain enough traction to overthrow and become the law...

Lawful evil players are the most dangerous of all, because they have the law on their side.

Agreed.
