Amen to that

Beldar nails the law professors whose noses are so far up in the air that they have gotten stuck in their asses. To demonstrate the elitist attitude, he quotes from Professor Randy Barnett:

I do not expect any president to know enough about judicial philosophy to pick judges on his own. I expect him or her, however, to appoint advisers who do know about such matters and follow their advice.

Wow.

I wholeheartedly endorse these thoughts from Beldar:

I reject — I mock and I ridicule without apology — his notion that only "experts" or "advisers who do know about such matters" have the ability or the authority to decide who ought to be appointed to the courts. I submit that that notion is profoundly anti-democratic, profoundly insulting to the American public and the office of the POTUS (whoever holds it), and profoundly contrary to both the history and intent of our constitutional structure under the rule of law. As I commented on Prof. Barnett's post, if he really believes that, he's "not just off into the elitist deep end now, [he's] drowned in it."

Or suffocated.
