Credentialism gone wild
By 
Tucker Carlson is demanding to know what Ketanji Brown Jackson’s LSAT score was:
Now of course the answer to why Tucker Carlson is asking about this is “racism,” because that’s the answer to literally any question you could ask about why Tucker Carlson is doing anything ever, but I would like to note a couple of things:
(1) The obsession with test scores/grades/rankings of schools etc. that’s rampant among upper middle class striver types is a key element of the absurd argument that we live in a “meritocracy.” For these people, whether you should be on the Supreme Court is just an extension of whether you should have gotten that job with a White Shoe Law Firm or a clerkship with a Feeder Judge or into a Truly Elite law school etc. etc. etc.
When Ilya Shapiro got in trouble recently for doing one too many racisms at the wrong time, one thing that was obvious, besides the racism, was how Shapiro and people like him actually believe that getting nominated to the Supreme Court should be like getting picked as the best student in your law school class! This is literally how these people think.
(2) When the Edmonton Oilers would test their players for general athletic ability — how much could a player bench press, etc. — Wayne Gretzky always came in last.
(3) Unfortunately left-liberal types are far from immune from the same sort of stupid credentialism:
The White House falsely claimed Amy Coney Barrett was a Rhodes Scholar today. They’ve consistently exaggerated her academic credentials, which I don’t think is necessary but I think is somewhat telling?? (Trivia: what was the median LSAT score of ACB’s ND 1L class?)
With all the compelling reasons to object to Barrett, her academic credentials — which were perfectly fine — should never have been on the list.
Question: What were the LSAT scores of the members of the Warren Court?
Answer: None of those GUYS ever took the LSAT, because there was no admissions test for law school when they went to law school.
Also too, how much more Chuck Todd could this be?
Answer: None. None more Chuck Todd.
