BINGO!!!!

Lawyers running our country was cauterized in 1947: Harry Truman Wanted a direct pipeline of intelligence from the military to his desk. He asks five Wall Street Lawyers (including the two infamous Dulles brothers) and creates the CIA from the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) The first weaponization of the Federal government against their own people began with the integration into the cia, Office of Policy Coordination (OPC) 1949 as the covert part of a covert group that is both extra constitution and never used for it's intended purposes.
No sooner than did Truman create Frankenstein, he regretted it and said so publicly, as they (the agency) went instantly off the leash and started overthrowing governments, even if it meant taking out their duly elected, chosen leaders. Via so-called green revolution. Most troubling in the early days was the overthrow of the Iranian President Mossadegh in 1955.
By the time Eisenhower came and left the reins to Kennedy, he was so convinced the agency had gone rouge, he met with Kennedy to warn him of this threat then made a televised declaration to this end. He (Allied Commander WWII) was actually threatened by the agency to retract his words. He basically gave them the finger and told them "I'm old, What could you possibly to do me?"
The agency was created to supply intelligence to the president. Period. Instead, from day one, they took it upon themselves to protect wall street and it's investors from all adversaries, at any and all costs.
Given this savage history, it is little wonder most nations live in fear of this country. Not of her military (though quite formidable in and of itself) but from the dirty cut-throat men in black that foment revolution anywhere and everywhere they see fit, without consulting the president or congress. If revolution doesn't work, they have bottomless bag of dirty tricks up to and including assassination. Ask Jack.

Should have had K7UGA in charge.

Agreed, Radio_Randy, but the problem is most of the public only watches what it is shown and regarding Trump it was constantly shown "Russia! Russia! Russia!" and "Impeach! Impeach! Impeach!" and "I Hate Trump for any reason we can make up!". With any luck the public is waking up.

Yes, they are groomed, selected and installed.

Yes, but it's taken out of context. Dick the Butcher in that play is but a member of a gang of commies. "Free food for everyone!" says Jack Cade, who would be king.

yes, the founders were well versed in "law", but we also need to remember (or realize, as applicable) that what constituted Law then is not the same as today. We should be so lucky for today's "law" to be what it was then. While it, naturally had some issues it was also more palatable and simple. It could be understood by the common man.

A complex legal system is not indicative of a complex problem, it is indicative of people trying to get away with things by use of government force they know they can't do when laws and the law are simple and understandable by the public at large.
