The bar exam is not a measure of brilliance. It’s a measure of studying. The most brilliant attorney is not passing the bar without studying for it. A dumb attorney can pass the bar with enough studying and preparation.

Well, neither is acceptance to Yale or Harvard. And, FWIW, a brilliant attorney would know to prepare for the bar. So, I guess you agree that HRC is not brilliant.

Faulty premise = unsound argument. Try harder.

I’ll never u derstand white people’s obsession with comparing colleges. It’s like measuring your dicks. Sad. She is obviously very smart and would’ve excelled at any Ivy. Just stop already.

I think some people adopt because they want to look like they care, not because they actually care.

she's also a horrible mother. I met her personally when my child was in an activity with her son and she opening berated him.

The New York Times reported that Barrett was a member of a small, tightly knit Christian group called People of Praise.[9] Members of this religious group swear a lifelong oath of loyalty to one another, and commit to be accountable to a personal advisor (either referred to as a "head" or a "handmaid").[9] The heads and handmaids instruct the member on important life decisions.[9] Legal scholars say that such an oath raises legitimate questions about the ability to serve as an independent and impartial judge.[9]

The People of Praise appear to be some kind of bizarre charasmatic renewal group whose beliefs are rooted in the Pentacostal movement. We do not need another hyper religious Justice on the Supreme Court, especially with Roe v. Wade and LGBT rights hanging by a thread. Trump will probably pick a woman to persuade liberals to back down, but this woman sounds extremely problematic.

Fortunately, we live in a country where religious beliefs cannot preclude someone from holding public office. It’s illegal.

We also live in a country where public officials cannot impose their religious beliefs on people. Separation of church and state? If this woman is unable to decide legal issues without bring her personal religious beliefs into it, she is not qualified for a SCOTUS seat. Full stop. We do not live in a theocracy. Roe is about a 14th amendment right to privacy. That’s what a jurist has to rule on.

U.S. Circuit Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, one of the leading Supreme Court contenders, has argued that presidents should not be distracted by civil lawsuits, criminal investigations or even questions from a prosecutor or defense attorney while in office.

Oh hell no.

I know Amy Coney Barrett. She went to Notre Dame on a full scholarship, but I'm betting she didn't apply to Harvard or Yale because they're not her kind of schools. And not only did she graduate first in the class and with a perfect GPA, which might happen once or twice in a decade at Notre Dame, she got the award for the best exam in every single one of her first year classes except for one and nine times overall -- in other words, not just an A in those classes but the very best exam in them. That's pretty extraordinary no matter where one goes to law school, and Notre Dame is a pretty good law school.

Coney Barrett also is not a wacko. Yes, she's conservative and Catholic and a true believer, but she's most definitely not a wacko. She is extremely well regarded by those who know her personally, liberals and conservatives alike.

Interesting. They were reporting that the dark money SCOTUS seat campaign had started.

They give awards for exams? How odd.

White person here and I agree. I was talking to a staff member for a state AG's office. He said all the good work is done by people from state schools and 2nd tier law schools. The Ivy grads who think they are slumming it by working in the office don't last long because they may be intelligent but they have no skill or savvy.

Which law school did you attend?

All of the picks on Trump's list have been screened by the Federalist Society - they all oppose Roe v Wade.

Roe v Wade simply says the individual has the choice how to manage her body.

if Roe v Wade is overturned, a state could dictate that a baby be carried to term. Or it could dictate that a fetus be aborted.

It cuts both ways.
