Where did you get that figure from? I have serious doubts about it.
Does the person have to be a judge already?
No, but she should have extensive experience with constitutional law. As far as I can know, she has next to none.
Well, I hate to back down so quickly... but it's important to admit mistakes.
I said she was a 100 lawyer, information I got from President Bush.
But in looking for a link to give you, I found that she was actually ranked one of the top 100 most influential lawyers.
To me that is different. Not enough to call the President a liar but it is enough to make the ranking less important in my opinion.
I'm sorry if my post was misleading.
