Your congressman (Mike Pence, R-Fantasyland) is an idiot.
The American people could see that this Commander in Chief has decided not to fail. While the President is calling for more American forces, this is more properly understood as a change in strategy and tactics. Freedom must prevail in Iraq. The President has charted a course for victory and I look forward to supporting this new strategy.Wow, freedom, victory, new strategy, was it buy one talking point, get one free?
Editor's note, completely off point: Rep. Pence's bio on his website states that he earned his "doctorate in jurisprudence" from Indiana University. Right there, you know he's a pompous blowhole. OK, I know the paper says something similar (mine says "juris doctor") but it's a friggin' LAW DEGREE. It's a trade school certificate, NOT a doctorate (Doc Magoo can testify to what getting a REAL one takes) and only pompous blowholes pretend otherwise. It's not even a difficult trade school to get through. I did well at a pretty decent law school, and graduate school in history made law school look like a walk in the park.
of you have sat, and perhaps thought, with us!

Isn't there a difference between a law degree and a doctorate (PhD) in law?
RR, many American law schools offer an LL.M degree, a "master of law," but those generally involve specialty areas (tax, finance, intellectual property, etc.)
Research doctorates in legal studies, the Ph.D, would in most cases be awarded through the history or political science departments in LAS rather than the law schools.
So really, a JD is the rough equivalent of a MA or MS?
It takes longer than your typical master's program, three years, but it is not a research program and has no comprehensive final product, no thesis or my personal favorite from grad school, oral comps.
Having completed 2 master's programs, I figured as much, but I wasn't aware that there is no "oral" comp to be completed in law school --- damn, I should have gone there instead!
