I'm not sure I agree completely on the whole lawyers make good lawmakers. Navigating the established law, and writing new laws seems different. In one case you are simply navigating what is already there. On the other hand you are trying to determine the economic, and social impact of a set of rules, or regulation on something. Whether it is for a specific subject, or for the general public. To me there just seems to be more to it. Like you said though there are lobbyists, analysts, and advisers to provide insight. The effectiveness of those specialist really relates to another issue entirely (Money and business in politics).
