LSAT scores are a non starter....
They are entry level tests used by Law Schools to decide whether to admit someone...
IF the cutoff is say 60 out of 100, and she scored a 61 out of 100, or 100 out of 100 who the hell cares.
I am not sure what Tucker’s end game is with this little play other than to get raitings.
Even if she barely passed the BAR, or failed it a time or two before passing, again not sure what that’s going to prove.
If there is something to go after this woman on its the fact she has openly admitted she things mandatory sentences for CHILD MOLESTERS are too burdensome.......
That alone should disqualify her from any bench in my book.
If they vote not to confirm her, the MSM will say they “lynched” her.
We would need to know the average LSAT score of those that Harvard Law admits, and then what KBJ scored on the test. It could possibly reveal whether KBJ was an affirmative action admission at HLS.
I took the LSAT in 1975. It was all multiple-choice questions then. I don’t think I have ever had such a gigantic headache in my life as I experienced upon finishing this test.
The results of the test among my friends who took it were very interesting. The guy who studied the least among my circle (and whose grades showed it) was the top scorer, making 707 (out of 800), which was in the top 3 percentile. One of the hardest studiers, who ultimately became both a CPA and an attorney, only got about 540. I made 608, which was in the top 20 percentile. My roommate, who was in the top 10 people in our graduating class, got around 680.
Non-starter? You want someone who barely passed? Or had to retake the bar? No thank you. I want someone who is ultra intelligent hard working.
In a nutshell, smarter people make better decisions than dumber people. You want smart decisions to come from the Supreme Court. Not “life experiences” and compassion for hair discrimination.
We want the Supreme Court to be making smart decisions, as they affect millions and are difficult to overturn. Yes, she can have clerks that help her out and write all her decisions and cover for lack of experience... but is that really what we want? Or to have people suspect?
You are kidding right? LSATs and other standardized tests are necessary but certainly not sufficient criteria for becoming a Supreme Court Justice. Anything except a pretty high score would raise serious questions about the cognitive capacity of an individual dealing the inherent complexities of Supreme Court cases to make reasonable decisions.
Well, that explains Joe's picking her.
