Dear Judged
Value of a Law DegreeYour Honor,
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said his
law degree is worth 15 cents. CENTS. Is he right, or doth the justice
protest too much?

Dear MommaLaw,
Dear Fifty (or is it ‘Fiddy’?),
Sir Thomas is not
having a good run of late, despite the fact that his whiny tell-all is
sitting on top of the New York Times’s Best Seller List. He has
professed, shall we say, peculiar opinions in the past, especially vis a
vis race and religion, but now it seems he isn’t satisfied with
blaming Anita Hill for all his woes.
Now he’s apparently
added Yale Law School to his (s)hit list. I can’t think of any
other Yale Law grad (much less one sitting on the Supreme Court) who can
tenably argue that his or her law degree hasn’t been a boon to their
career. There will always be those who question your qualifications (I
have always questioned Thomas’s moral sanity, and will continue to-
this is the same guy who said “America was founded on a philosophy of
individual rights, not group rights” – tell that to the legions
of slaves and female suffragists, you giant tool) but Thomas’s major
complaint is that he wasn’t able to get a good job offer because too
many employers implied that he was only at Yale to fulfill a racial quota
in line with Affirmative Action.
Memo to Saint Thomas: it
frequently takes a while for most law graduates to land a good job, whether
they come from Yale or not. Plus, other black graduates from the same
class have rebuffed his claims, saying they had no more trouble landing
jobs than their white counterparts. So zip it, Clarence. Quit complaining
and do what you do best: wondering whose pubic hair is one your coke can
and (s)electing presidents in tight races. Libertarian my ass!
