So, Judge Judy's on The Supreme Court, Right? (So say 10% of College Grads)

Judge Judith Sheindlin has held some high-profile positions in her career over the years – having been appointed by Mayor Ed Koch as a Manhattan Criminal Court judge in 1982, and rising to supervising judge of Manhattan Family Court in 1986.

In 1993, Judge Judy was profiled for her tough courtroom tactics on “60 Minutes,” and since 1996, she began appearing on “The Judge Judy Show.”

That biography does not include a presidential nomination, congressional confirmation, or service on the U.S. Supreme Court. But a new report Tuesday claimed that many recent college graduates think Sheindlin is among the nine justices.

The report claimed that surveys show that recent college graduates are “alarmingly ignorant of America’s history and heritage,” and that colleges and universities are doing little if anything to address the knowledge gap.

The advocacy group in the late summer of last year commissioned a research firm to ask recent American college graduates and the public at large about their understanding of American government. The group called the results “abysmal.”

A total of 9.6 percent of the college graduates marked that Sheindlin was on the Supreme Court, the report said.

Judge Mathis would be better.

He's awesome.

And Marilyn Milian is just hot as hell.
 
Dammit, we need to have mandatory courses in American history and the Constitution at all colleges and universities, make sure that everybody passes, then send them all a bill for it afterwards.
 
If it were an option on a questionnaire I'd also say Judge Judy was a justice just so I could LOL
 
Over the years I went before lotsa judges, and I cant recall one female judge who wasn't dum as dirt and not removed by the Supreme Court for villainy. I knew many of them before they became judges, and they were outstanding people, but once they got on the court they went to hell. Several lost their law licenses, too.
 
I just watched a bunch of New Yorkers fail at pointing out Iowa on a map of the US.

:eek:

Clearly we need MOAR spending on education...
 
We might as well say "fuck it" at this point, and get Judge Dred on the SCOTUS, as played by Sylvester Stalone.

If we're going to shit anyways, we might as well help things along.
 
I've not seen the flick, merely read a zillion of the comix.

Didn't come across as real progressive.

Have you ever read Scalia's dissents?

He said black kids deserve to go "slower track" schools! In writing!

Judge Dred, definitely more progressive. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
