Oh, sure he does.

Let's see - he was a lawyer at an obscure Texas firm until his father, a Supreme Court justice, brokered a political deal that made Ramsey Attorney General in exchange for his father retiring early so LBJ could appoint the first black justice.

He served for less than two years as AG.

Then he spent the next 35 years bouncing from job to job, teaching here, defending Nazi concentration camp guards there, working as the local US legal advisor for a number of dictators. campaigning for the legalization of hard drugs, etc.

Really impressive resume.

And whose appointment as AG was blatently political -- as it forced Ramsey's dad, Tom Clark, to resign from the SCOTUS, thereby opening a seat so that LBJ could appoint...Thurgood Marshall.

And that was the real purpose of the exercise...
