    If your accusation were true, what was the charge against them that prompted their surrendering of their legal licenses? I know of no such charges.

    Yes. I guess my vision of what makes America great is different from yours.

    Perhaps because I am not wrong. You and your cherrypicked citation are. But that goes against your ego to admit it.

    Pretty sure that position requires a valid law license.

    Actually, it is you who have it wrong.

    Obama would never voluntarily give up his license or retire it or ask for it to be put on "INACTIVE" status. Way to much ego for that. Just another lie by an Obamabot.

    Is that the speech where she said she was never proud to be an American?

    And then spent the next eight years proving it?

    You hitched your wagon to the wrong horse here.

    BTW, you apparently can not see the truth when presented, especially when it differs from what you are told to believe.

    Yes, that is what you practice constantly. Continue to preach lies. Either way, SCOTUS is never happening for either of them.

    Their illegal parents bring these children with them, many not even their own children. They know what is likely to happen but just don't care enough to think it trough. If you think that is being a good parent, I disagree with YOUR thinking.

    But you are perfectly aware that you are wrong. You were given the citation showing this.

    Then provide a citation showing mine is wrong. Give us sometime from the Illinois bar showing he was being sanctioned and LOST his license as you claimed. You of course know you can’t do this.

    Would that be the same result for the illegal ACA? And the mandate to buy it or else?

    Speaking of illegal activities.

    Barack Obama earned a JD (Juris Doctorate) in law from Harvard University in 1991, & taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago Law School for 12 years. How do you conclude Obama wasn't a legal scholar?

    Now you claim to be a mind reader? You make up an assumption about me and consider it truth because I continue to show you to be wrong.

    BTW, provide actual proof of what you are saying from a centrist source. You, of course, cannot do this so you prove yourself to be wrong.

    He did not "earn" anything and he was a guest lecturer, not a teacher. He taught what he wanted to have believed. Not a legal scholar, especially when he hides his past from public view.

    He doesn't have a paper trail of scholarly articles. Please point out what papers he's written on important legal matters. A lecturer who doesn't produce academic publications is not a scholar, just a teacher.

    Since a Juris Doctorate is the highest degree offered in the field of law, it's the same as a PhD. I think this thread is splitting hairs here, for no good reason. It's become a semantics debate. So, who cares? Obama had a really good education. He knew what he was doing as President, which is NOT something we can any say for Obama's successor.

    You were proven wrong. You know that you were proven wrong. Several people also know and have pointed out you were proven wrong.

    Wow, you think that man's ego is still fulfilled by a license to practice law in Illinois? I really don't think attending depositions, and writing briefs for clients,and appearing in court quite gives the man the thrill you do. My dad did it for maybe 20 years, but he managed to survive without practicing law, with his ego in fine shape teaching it, and trust me, that ego did not shrink a millimeter! . And he wasn't writing the law as well, and he sure wasn't running for office as President of the United States!

    He does not have any, but that is not unprecedented at all .https://supreme.findlaw.com/supreme_court/justices/nopriorexp.html. They have all been lawyers even if they did not all attend a law 'school' Matter of fact, an argument can be made that a more diverse legal experience helps the court. What is really disqualifying, is the fact he personally has said he does not have the prerequisite 'judicial temperment' and he apparently has a little interest in being an appellate judge, as his wife has in running for political office!

    Do you still respect Trump after he said because he was rich & famous, he had the right to grab women by the genitals? Or, how about after yesterday, when he said he wanted four dark-skinned liberal Congresswomen to "go back to where they came from", as if they weren't just as American as he? How does Trump represent anything "better" than Obama--in ANY RESPECT?

    These people are refugees, not immigrants. There's a difference. America should help refugees, not incarcerate them & pretend they're criminals.
