Too bad that non-qualification is followed. The framers wanted all government positions open to all people, not the caste that went to law school.
Probably that was among the reasons Obama picked Elena Kagan.
The anti-nepotism law could prevent Obama from nominating Michelle for the Supreme Court...but she could run for President in 2016. No prior history of elective office is needed (Taft, Hoover, and Eisenhower didn't have any).
Plus Nixon sent Kerry to Cambodia in December 1968. President-elect Nixon.
I agree.
She was not disbarred. She voluntarily suspended her license because she wasn’t practicing law (not that she ever really did). Some lawyers do that so as to not have to keep up with continuing legal education courses. I don’t know where that rumor started, but I looked on the Illinois Bar website and it just isn’t true. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.
Still, considering she never really practiced law, the SC is a bit of a stretch.
Harriet Myers would have been a judicial giant compared to a Michelle Obama nomination.
Thanks for clarifying that.
