PREAMBLE

We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Emphasis added (See note #1)

 

AMENDMENT IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Emphasis added (See note #2)

 

AMENDMENT XIV

(Proposed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.)

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United states, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Emphasis added (See note#3)

 

The following comments are the opinions of the author only - - - who is not a lawyer.

1.

One does not establish justice by allowing one segment or profession within the citizenry (with distinct responsibilities to the justice system itself duly established by this constitution) to have a greater measure of protection against legal (and public) censure when indulging in as well as aiding others to also indulge in a fairly frequent human failing (lying - even under an oath swearing to tell the truth) - - and even though this act itself is totally and historically contrary to the accepted ethics of that citizenry - as well as contrary to subsequently established law.

 

2.

The absolute right of all citizens (defendants, plaintiffs, and "the people") to a fair trial would seem to be too obvious in a democracy to be even needed to be specifically mentioned.

 

3.

To, for instance, enact laws establishing an even shorter time period (i.e., shorter than for the general non-lawyer population) in a statute of limitations for lawyers as officers of the courts to be subject to their being held accountable to those courts for illegal (and grossly unprofessional) actions is a blantant example of favored (thus unequal) treatment - under the law.
