RE: Acts of Kindness as a Lawyer
I guess my point of contention was with the description of him being an "unsuccessful" lawyer. Unsuccessful compared to whom? Unsuccessful according to the standard of lawyers for his day- or compared to lawyers today? He earned a living out of it for sure. Was that not success? One might also argue that his career as a lawyer paved the way for the presidency.
