Do you know there is no requirement to be a lawyer to sit on the Supreme Court, as I understand it?

They fear him.

No, what he needs is to believe in American values, unlike the current Resident.

Which is probably why you don’t want to be the so-called “front-runner” this early in the game.

Al Hunt? That old Reagan hater is still around?

An interesting column all the same. The absence of a college diploma might be an asset these days.

I don’t think t is because he is the front runner.

I think it s because he is tested and has had all the left could throw at him, he took it and won.

Scott Walker was bound to take early heat commensurate with his early rise. He is a fighter. Watch how adroitly he handles these petty little people.

These days, our politicos aren’t really street-fighting cutthroats looking after the interests of our country. They’re currently a bunch of idiots working on the most fashionable causes of our day, mainly ornamental aristocrats, which is the last thing we can afford to have. None of them have any real world work experience and none of them are of any practical use to our country. The First Ladies are meddling in affairs of state and allowed to create legislation and too few of them know the English language, much less a second or third language that would enable the better building of relations. None of them are trained in diplomacy, none of them are even able to speak articulately, none of them have any alliances that could benefit our country in the long run.

Bloomberger, that is all you need to know. Truman, Washington, Lincoln did not have one. On the other side, Wilson had a doctorate, how did that work out?

“List of successful people without college degree.”

They left out Abraham Lincoln.
