>>> Some would say it's the ultimate qualification.
I'm not sure who would say that. Not anyone who understood the issues, that's for sure.
First of all, teaching a couple of night courses on a part-time basis isn't the same as "teaching Constitutional law". Let's keep it in perspective.
More substantively, however, I know of no law professor whom I would consider qualified to be president. There could be one, but I can't think of any. A Supreme Court Justice? Sure. But not president.
Presidents need administrative experience, strong negotiating skills, an understanding of the military, and character. Very few attorneys, IMO, have these characteristics (some have strong negotiating skills, few have administrative ability, and very few, as we know, have true character). |
