Ha…
Funny line from Jon Stewart… I can’t quote it, but it went something like this:
Of course, the lawyer Monica Goodling hired to keep her out of jail went to a real law school.
Ouch.
Previously, veteran civil servants screened applicants and recommended whom to hire, usually picking top students from elite schools.
In a recent Regent law school newsletter, a 2004 graduate described being interviewed for a job as a trial attorney at the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division in October 2003. Asked to name the Supreme Court decision from the past 20 years with which he most disagreed, he cited Lawrence v. Texas, the ruling striking down a law against sodomy because it violated gay people’s civil rights.
“When one of the interviewers agreed and said that decision in Lawrence was ‘maddening,’ I knew I correctly answered the question,” wrote the Regent graduate . The administration hired him for the Civil Rights Division’s housing section — the only employment offer he received after graduation, he said.
Great pick for the Civil Rights Division. Nice.
Good points. Although, I find some of the irony simply oozing with comedy when you have some writers for various pubs who have degrees in stuff like philosophy (no offense to the philosophers out there, but come on) criticizing the educational acumen of various other graduates.
