Lawyers create Govt regulations but dont always want regs to apply to them

The American Bar Association and some other lawyer associations are fighting the Federal Trade Commission on the FTC's applying the Gramm--Leach financial privacy law to law firms and attorneys (Link to rules and statutes). Attorneys have in the past resisted application or perceived application of Fair debt collection laws and race/gender/disability public accomodation laws to their practices. Doesnt the Bible say "live by the sword, die by the sword?"
