That’ll show em!
Good start, but uh… Clarence Thomas?
Fun fact! You don’t have to be a judge, a lawyer, or even mentally competent to sit on the Supreme Court.
Same for president.
Here’s the fun part: Even if he’s disbarred, he’s still a SCOTUS justice.
Can he write a decision if he’s no longer a lawyer?
Are there qualifications to be a Justice? Do you have to be a lawyer or attend law school to be a Supreme Court Justice?
The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law. Many of the 18th and 19th century Justices studied law under a mentor because there were few law schools in the country.
The last Justice to be appointed who did not attend any law school was James F. Byrnes (1941-1942). He did not graduate from high school and taught himself law, passing the bar at the age of 23.
Robert H. Jackson (1941-1954). While Jackson did not attend an undergraduate college, he did study law at Albany Law School in New York. At the time of his graduation, Jackson was only twenty years old and one of the requirements for a law degree was that students must be twenty-one years old. Thus rather than a law degree, Jackson was awarded with a “diploma of graduation.” Twenty-nine years later, Albany Law School belatedly presented Jackson with a law degree noting his original graduating class of 1912.
Can Trump get a seat on the Supreme Court if he decides he’s not going to risk running for president for life? Oh my god
He could nominate himself if there’s a vacancy.
The justices better stay away from Fifth Avenue, then.
I’m certain consequences will happen this time!
Can we file for his internment into a work camp?
Well there’s an attention grabbing headline.
