@neiltyson@cguirre So is it the legal profession's fault or a broken political system that puts party before country? -
@TheStarHound But I slightly disagree because lawyers are good at solving problems too. It's just that these are partisans. -
@cguirre I blame the current polarization of the parties rather than the fact lawyers are drawn to politics. (5) Did I miss (2)? :-) -
@TheStarHound At the end, I think the solution is to elect bipartisan Dems and Republicans, otherwise we're in trouble. -
@cguirre I agree.
