In a column by David M. Elderkin, the piece argues Carter’s attack on lawyers misses the point. It defends the legal profession, noting lawyers defend constitutional rights and ensure fair trials amid a complex web of statutes and government power. It emphasizes that liberty depends on attorneys who advocate for clients in courts.
The piece casts Washington as a mean town patterned on cowboy films, with Jimmy Carter as a lone savior figure who would clean up a corrupt capital. It notes public naiveté about federal politics and compares expectations to Wild West justice, urging caution about overstated reforms.
