High thought is good, but I guess the founders didn't think it critical cuz they didn't put it in like they did for other offices...wonder why?

You know you're right. The constitution doesn't say that one needs to be competent to qualify as President. Must mean it'd be pretty unfair of me to refuse to cast my vote for someone who isn't.

"You know you're right. The constitution doesn't say that one needs to be competent"

Your words, not mine. If high academic thought and competency are synonymous in your vocabulary as it relates to requirements of SC justices, that is your call...but don't put words in my mouth. However, if that is your view I would make the observation that it is not in agreement with the constitution .

That reply was silly. Good night.
