28 OF 50, DRAFTERS AND SIGNERS OF THE UNITED STATE CONSTITUTION WERE LAWYERS . . . THERE IS A DAMNED GOOD REASON FOR THAT!
Nice, I Just Got The Title to This Blog Stolen by the Bitch Squad of Charlatans, Sooth Sayers, and Card Readers!
People used to come up to me, and say, JoAnn, do you think I could go to law school, to become a lawyer . . . my answer, was always, a simple, sure! I would then tell them, what I thought was the key ingredient to success and making it through law school, and tell them it was discipline. I would tell them, that when, others were going to college football games, playing golf, or messing around with their families, you, have to sit your ass down a study! When family and friends, are preparing for holiday fun, Thanksgiving cooking and Christmas joy, you are focused on passing your exams, with the whole semester, and possibly your legal career, resting on that one test, that determines your grade, and your survival, in law school, with few room for errors, and many, areas for failure. There is something magical that happens to a person's brain, when they go through the rigors of law school, not that, other areas of discipline are not, great for public service, but the law, is in everything we do, in government, from providing citizens with due process, knowing what that entails, and making sure that there is equal protection of the law, fuck, Congress is the law making body, of the three branches of government, and if you don't think, the other two, are profited and benefit, from a lawyer being in them, you are dead wrong, with the judiciary, being solely made up of lawyers, people who are lettered, and knowledgeable, trained and practiced, with a good record in the law or legal training, and the reasons are obvious. If Hillary and Donald, were competing for the New Apprentice TV host position, I would strongly be pulling for the Donald, but that is not the case!
Now, however, my assessment of who can and will become an attorney, has changed, evolved, morphed, and become much more selective and sophisticated, than, someone who has the discipline to go to class each day, to study for and pass exams, to sit for the bar exam, and to learn to think, like a lawyer . . . it have added to that, the guts, the stamina, the fortitude, and the perseverance, to press through the sludge, swamps, and trenches of becoming a new being, so to say, learning to think, different, brighter, clearer, stronger, more creatively, and yes, more sophisticated! I look at my sisters, and their desire, opportunity, time and financial support, that would have allowed them to go to law school, and there was something in them, that stopped them, prevented them, prohibited them, from, having the guts, and that is what it takes, to go through law school and become an attorney! They were lacking that, something, that drive, that passion, and perhaps, stunted by fear, of not succeeding with me, having already gone through the process, and rising straight to the top of the legal and professorial fields, distinguishing myself, not only on a state level, but a national level as well. I think, they just figured that, somehow, the winds of fate, just dropped my ass, at the top of the heap? But, while my family members, extended as well, wanted to make a difference, contribute to their world, and noble cause, they didn't want to start at the beginning, at the LSAT or law school entrance exams, they didn't want to sit in class, taking notes, studying while missing Thanksgiving dinners with family and friends, nor losing the Christmas spirit for 20 years, while more pressing matters, like passing final exams, or taking the bar, or writing a domestic violence and sexual assault manual, took precedence over, shopping, baking, wrapping and party going! No, in short, they were NOT WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE! and it is an exacting one!
LAW SCHOOL, BREAKS YOU, THEN REMAKES YOU!
You either learn to think like a lawyer, or you don't make it through the boot camp, and many a valedictorian and Rhode scholar, didn't pass the grade. Shit, I had a property law class, and we took a test, that the highest grade was a 31, I only got a 7, and 25 people would have done better to have just signed the test, and left the room . . . the professor, gave, negative points for wrong answers! 12 people dropped out of law school, that day! After the first semester grades, grown, men and women, who worked their guts out, some, as much as 16 hours a day for 16 weeks, failed! Some amped up their study, to 20 hours a day, camping out at the law school, never going home, only to find they did worse then, when they worked 16 hours a day to master the material! People who barely got accepted into law school, thrived, while, those more intellectually, ripe and trained, with better letters of recommendation, and grades from their undergraduate studies, failed. I used to describe, it like this, take everything you know about, college, grades, study, put it in a big ball, and shake it up. The top will end up at the bottom, and the bottom the top! There appeared to be no rhyme or reason, to who did well and who did not! I firmly believe, that my religious practices, as a child, and young girl, with the word of God, being the law, and the facts, being the situations, I found myself in, then applying those particular set of facts, to that law, to come to a conclusion, or outcome, actually, trained me, for law school, not to mention, being an English major, being trained in critical thinking, analytical, and symbolic meanings, plus, my communications and teaching background, also helped kick, me into high gear, being the one stop shop attorney, go to gal!
No, my father, my 5 sisters, my brothers, and many cousins, who envied the position and title of being called a lawyer, decided that if they could not start at the top of the legal food chain, they would cheat, steal, lie, kill, and mimic, with access, capacity to surveil, and with the manpower of the Mormon church, with FBI, CIA, DIA, DEA, ATF, and NSA, Mo's, being trained in cop work, they could just do what they just did, use computer games, techniques and skills, to steal my work, and claim, protect, and lie, about who is who! There is no short cut to success, you either pay the piper, or die, in the law . . . sooner or later, walking with a corn cob up your ass, and never smiling, does not a lawyer make, and someone, a judge, or another attorney, who is skilled and trained in the art of the law, will see through the cheap shot imitation, no matter how well, the CIA Make a Wish Foundation, tried to replace me with not 3 women, not 6, but somewhere around 10 and they are still struggling to contain me! There is something magical, beautiful, amazing, powerful, gratifying, respectful, and satisfying about, doing, it, whatever it is, not that law is the end all, but for government, it never hurts, but, paying the exacting price, working, sweating, at time, despairing, but, hanging in there and completing the three years of law school, then taking the bar, a whole other experience, that trains you, to do whatever, with almost every aspect of at least government, policy and procedure, having root and stability in the law!
I Actually, Really Dig Donald Trump, I Watch, Read, Enjoy, the Theatrics, the Show, the Entertainment; However, When It Comes to Running the Government, Understanding the Intricacies of the Balance of Powers, the Branches of Government, Reaching and Working Across the Aisle, or Meeting, Understanding, and Seeing the Needs of the People, It is Clinton, With the Skills, the Training, the Education, the Experience, the Right Kind of Worldwide, Respected, Feared, and Admired, Reputation, that We Need to Take the Reigns of Power, and Make America Again, Be Stronger Together, and Be the World Power We Are!
COM'ON MAN!
