Can i require that my career start offering more of this warm fuzzy intangible pay? We have a huge inequality of this sort of pay and heartless 1%ers should get a piece of this as well...its only fair.

There is no requirement for a Supreme Court justices to have a law degree or any degree at all. As a practical matter, almost all of them do but one of Cruz's welders is completely qualified to be a Supreme Court justice.
Yeah, I did know that, but it is a requirement to be a judge in all states, and I can't imagine anyone being nominated, much less confirmed, without judicial experience.
I have suggested several times here on HROT that I would like to see some non-lawyers on the court. Almost nobody agrees.
If you think the court is only about law, then I suppose sticking to lawyers makes sense. If you think the court is about justice, you may come up with a different answer.
It's not about a specific "degree" but rather it's about experience. Who possesses the skills and has adequately demonstrated those skills necessary to accurately interpret constitutional matters. I believe there are many inside the judicial system who would be completely unable to do such a job, but I also believe there are many without any tangible legal experience who would in fact be able to.
Not that I'm a fan of Cruz, but someone should automatically be ruled out because they misspoke?
Can you give me an example of a non-lawyer who would do a good job? How about George Will? He's good at writing opinions...
John Rawls would have been excellent at deciding matters of Justice. Thomas Michael Scanlon might be a good option today.
I could see him doing well.
Steven Pinker would be able to do the job.
Noam Chomsky about a decade or two ago; he's in his mid 80's I believe.
Condoleeza Rice is brilliant, in my opinion.
Pat or Paul Churchland, both are neuroscientist-philosopher hybrids.
Those are a few off the top of my head.
No way. It is interesting that he left out the Department of Education......
Again - That would be an increddible shift in the way we fund education. I get the idea, but how does that get implemented?
You know that we had education before there was a federal education agency, don't you? The feds don't need to be inserted into every area of our lives.
