And as much as Americans like to bash lawyers, why do Americans vote for
so many of them for state government legislative offices and for both
houses of US Congress?

Note that fewer than half of the congresscritters are lawyers.

If there are two garter snakes and a cobra in a cage, are you saying it is
safe because less than half are poisonous?

I said nothing of the kind. Over half are Demonicrats.

Less that half of congress still leave about 200.

54/100 Senators
162/441 Congressmen (including non-voting)
