PDs are generally overworked, but here in Tennessee there is a lot of competion for the jobs.  The ones that are selected are very qualified.

As for being motivated by profit, the same argument could be made for prosecuting attornies.  Do you think none of them give a damn either?

I think PAs are motivated by money as well. Aren't most judges former PAs? How many times do you think a PA might feel they can't win a case, so offer a plea deal? Why do they do this? It's to save reputation for when it's voting time, not in all cases, but some.
