Lobbyists already have enormous power. I think one thing we've learned over the past 20 years is that career politicians are just as susceptible to bribes as everyone else.
Though I do agree, this concept is pointless beyond a thought experiment.

It would also make sense to treat them like a jury - while you are working lobbyists would be asked not to meet with you.
Sequestering the ignorant and expecting good laws to come from that is ... optimistic.
And while serving a short term might cut out certain bribery there will be a lot more 'get while the getting is good' type bribery. Perhaps that's easier to catch? But there will be a lot more of it.
Not only that: the rest of us have our own stuff to do. How many people can put their life on pause long enough to learn everythhing they need to know to craft good laws?
