PZbeer, I have listened to demagogues of both the right and left and don't like either. I choose to believe your question about Palin is disingenuous and that you honestly have heard her and wondered?

Does an Obama have a better understanding of the law, by going to Harvard, then someone who attends Hillsdale College?

Yes, a hundred times "Yes"! If you believe otherwise, why not appoint a whole class from Hillsdale College to the High Court? Obama has not merely attended but proven himself sufficiently to lecture in law.
I don't have a problem with your disdain for smug righteousness; I started out working life lecturing at University but left when the incest began to bore me and I realized "I cannot do this for the rest of my life." It is, however, a huge step from that to sincerely ignoring acquired knowledge. We don't want our boats to be built by violinists, and I sure as hell don't want Joe the Plumber to figure out legislation for me.
