I literally never heard this conspiracy before… I do however despise the BAR Associations because they have taken over levers of government, their private policy become law and affect cases more than facts often times, and they have taken over our law libraries and have an office nobody works at where you can ask and wait 5 months to see if maybe an attorney would give you some help. The legislature delegates them SRO status, and they are making it a requirement just de facto to participate in any civil process, redress, business transaction, etc. If you wanna hire your unlicensed uncle to practice law, great… As long as there are full disclosures, any person should be given zero trouble accessing any Justice system on their own, and we need a system where people can fail. I understand it’s important to have standards, that’s not what I’m talking about. . We really need to make the BAR a fully public and open thing or get rid of it and replace it with different regulation. Also, no more lawyers in congress. It’s hilarious that people literally think it’s like some British plant from I guess the early 19th century when England wanted the US back or something… the Torie party and All that haha. Still, I will say that the state of the Justice system, just like the financial system, has been measurably worse, inconsistent, and absurd since these “trade organizations” or licensing cartels started gaining traction in the industrial revolution. Requiring membership and allowing the associations to determine membership how they want makes the de fact law makers and it was just the final mail in the wall between the average American and their government for the people and by the people.
